Averaged 16.4 points per game the year prior. 3pt shooting percentage went from 40% to 23%
That’s just not something Pitino values from his big men. Gardner will not being taking many jumpers or driving that often his first few years if he’s here. He’ll rebound and defend.
I'm trying to think the last time a poster got a potential recruit and another player comparison correct and I think out of 4000 potential recruits the last 20 years maybe there have been 20 comparisons close ( and I throw myself into that list of posters. ) Marillac might have the lead at like 6 the rest of us are enron

Yes, they can actually shoot.
My point is the age old question of whether they can actually shoot (perhaps better than what we have had) because of the level of their competition. Of course, I trust RP and staff....
I take it you weren’t impressed with my Dom Pointer is a poor man’s Michael Jordan comment after seeing him in a HS all star game on TV.
I do like the term 'locked in', lol.

Well that wasn't the start to today I wanted. Lol
Predictions from those with way more knowledge than me....
Who is the first person in the fold?
I'll take a 1000% random guess and go with Estrada

Paultz says the kid plays no defense. Sign him and don’t retain Storr. Hmm
I don’t see Estrada as a good fit.
I think Clayton Jr. is the first to commit followed by someone under the radar and TJ Bamba. I feel good about Chris Ledlum but I could see that taking longer.
If I know Pitino as well as I think, Abou Osmane will be brought on as well since he’s a perfect fit to backup Joel and the four this year and take over with his final year of eligibility after Joel leaves.

Antoine Walker, Pope, Pelphrey and Mashburn among others are confused by this claim.

Do we know anything about this kid. 6-9 shooting 3p at higher % than some of the guards we are looking at, but that's obviously only one aspect of play.

With all due respect to Paultzman if he did say that about Estrada, but I attended a dozen Hofstra games this year at the Mack and his defense was fine. He has a very quick release and was Hofstra's best offensive player by far. Speedy Claxton is a terrific coach and doesn't tolerate defensive slackers. He's in the portal because he is no longer eligible to play at Hofstra.
However gets him will get an excellent offensive player.
I do believe that by next week we will start seeing some pieces falling into place from the open market.

He's eligible to continue playing at Hofstra if he wanted to.
