And run the team as a senior.
Maybe. But in any event there were lots of excellent players who were happy to be role players on Florida and Houston this year and play in the championship game
Ivy is a slightly better league. Very close.

The oracle speaks
Like Darling’s overall game but he’s a bit slow on his outside shot and does a double-pump thing where he releases after the top of his jump. I wonder if at the next level he will be able to get his shot off as efficiently. That’s my main question. He’s athletic enough, though not quite a perfect fit on this roster. Crafty but I’m not totally sold.
Based on Paultz avatar appears he’s the leader in the clubhouse.
Yeah I like a lot of the other things he does. Defends well too woth quick hands. Just curious if he can tighten up the jumper abs get it off a bit faster. I’m fine with him as a backup/part-time PG thoigh and it seems that what we are going for. At least he gives us a pure-pg type which I think we need. Again maybe I’m wrong about the jumper. Just gonna face a different level of comp here at sju.
I actually like both Mingo and Darling. Very solid numbers, downside obviously lower conference. It is a serious jump. But 2 things:
1) Not asking either to be superstars and 2)They will get ELITE coaching.
As always go look at Rick's 2010-11 Louisville team had Chris Smith from Manhattan and Kyle Kuric from Evansville. Neither were superstar transfers and both flipped to walk on status their last year to allow for others to join team. And both became key contributors on 2010-11 and 11-12 Final Four team.
For conference strength Sun Belt and Big Sky were 20 and 21 in the NET rankings. By comparision for lower mid major conferences MACC was 26.

Interesting he went a step down. At least he stayed with sju
Saw the same thing in his outside shot… real slow to get it off
What are the odds Rick told Jaiden and Brady, "Hey go to a lower level and kill it and who knows maybe a year from now we may have a spot here and well who knows...." Just sayin'...

Saw similar with Mingo, but if Rick and staff properly communicate their role to them, the only time they'll be shooting 3s is when they're wide open
Always saw it as a glass half full situation when I asked a girl out and she replied “who knows, ask me out a year from now and well who knows”.
Don’t you start in now
Hopefully. I like them both.

He wouldn’t be on a visit if he didn’t accept whatever role the staff had already laid out for him and his agent/representation.
The transfer portal was made for guys like Dylan Darling. Said this on the podcast yesterday, he’s the perfect representation of the good of the portal in the NIL era sans sit out rules. Goes to Washington St. doesn’t work out transfers down, kills it, and now has a chance to play for the Big East Champs under Rick Pitino in the biggest media market with the talent of the #1 transfer portal crop. Pretty damn awesome sell to me.

I'm not sure if the link expires on something like this but St. John's has their share of mentions in here.
