Only chatter in my woods is the woodpecker in tree doing his thing. Rely on this board for chatter. Although, thinkin of getting a ham radio to find out whos on the road recruiting who!Don't think it's officially official yet, but chatter made it all the way out to my neck of the woods so I'm confident he's the third man. Then again, that might not mean much
Lee would be out starting PG
One thing about the process thus far is that it adds players that vastly improve the offense but almost certainly reduce the defensive uniqueness (well, Houston but whatever) we had last year. Clearly Pitino thinks he can just coach shooters into playing that kind of defense but I am far from convinced of that. Dillon Mitchell changes that equation all by himself and restores a lot of defensive presence that I think would otherwise be missing.
Whether you like Mitchell or not, we can all chill knowing that HCRP will make the “right” call as he sees it and how the benefits and deficits shake out.
I keep hoping that we are not seeing Sim hit the portal as we pick up more great guards. I expect big things from Sim as a 3 year player under CRP. Hoping he makes an RJ-like jump in overall play, but he has a lot of work to do in the offseason to get there.
Pitino just tweeted about things for Vince to focus on this Spring. He’s not leaving
Agree on Mitchell a ton.
I'll be happy if he can do something with his foul shot - at least get him back to his soph year of 60%.Hopefully Pitino can do for Mitchell’s jump shot what he did for Kadary’s.
i learned from last year there are some things you cant fix.Hopefully Pitino can do for Mitchell’s jump shot what he did for Kadary’s.
Not feeling him coming here or unimpressed by what he brings on the court?Not feeling Lee but we’ll see. In any event staff will land someone competent. If DJ Wagner is in mix if Lee heads to Florida, I’ll leave it to guys like dk & Mug, others to give opinions on if he could work or not. One thing for sure is that any PG candidate will find the cast around him outstanding and attractive.
Re Mitchell, Sellers and Jackson via guys close to program I talk to and Discord apostles here I sense;
I think that is a fair assumption, though, right? We knew Scott coming in was a defensive add, but Kadary and RJ were never defense first guys. Zuby was a bench piece. Rick was able to coach those three into being some of the top defenders in the country (think Kadary and Zuby were like top 25 or something). I like the idea of bringing in big, athletic kids that can shoot. I would assume size, strength and quickness are assets when it comes to learning defense. But if you can't shoot, well, you may never learn to shoot.
I like Wagner a lot and would be thrilled with him as the starting PG. I think he would thrive here. I am certain he is motivated to become a third generation NBA player and Pitino will get him there. And this is no knock on Lee whatsoever. It just my unprofessional opinion.Not feeling Lee but we’ll see. In any event staff will land someone competent.
