Not the definition of a 2 guardStorr was not a 2g for us last year. There was never a time where he was the secondary ball handler for us.

I’m sorry but in college you want two guards who can handle the ball, initiate offense, and create for others. Storr was great at scoring. Aside from that the only position he had a chance at guarding successfully was bigger wings. He’s a 3. Him and Jenkins are not similar style players. Not substitutes for each other.Not the definition of a 2 guard
All kidding aside, this past year’s Iona team with Soriano coached by Rick Pitino would have had a good chance to win a game in the tourney. Heck, this year’s Iona team (as it was) with the right matchup could have easily won a game. I’ll definitely “settle” for that in year one of the Pitino era.It’s funny because it may be true
I wouldn’t say Storr was great at scoring, but he was certainly one of the more capable offensive players in our anemic half court offense. He was/is also very athletic although he didn’t rebound particularly well.I’m sorry but in college you want two guards who can handle the ball, initiate offense, and create for others.

Iona lost 8 kids so far, latest Sadiku & Silas Sunday.

With a better coach those 2 might have been difference makers. The Anderson methods have to be accounted for. He was a terrible coach….Guys - we should all be a little circumspect when we talk about the portal as though we know something. Last year we got two of the consensus top 20 portal transfers, and by the end of the season neither was even starting for us. So let's see how it all plays out.

Good argument with lots of facts.WRONG!
Larry , you seem negative on Clayton jr and Jenkins as a potential Backcourt comboIona team with Soriano doesn’t make Tournament if in BE
High on ClaytonLarry , you seem negative on Clayton jr and Jenkins as a potential Backcourt combo
Pitino has said Jenkins could have started for him at L’ville . Clayton jr is highly valued by a number of other programs .
Don’t get the thumbs down ?
That’s 1/2 the backcourt . You see Jenkins as a sub ? Pitino probably feels differently . We will see . It would be great if both players are on Campus today , they commit .High on Clayton
He was hurt this year. Maybe he likes it there but I thought the same thing about coming home and playing for Pitino.With all of these kids hitting the portal, I am baffled by Kyle Cuffe Jr staying at Kansas. Been there 2 years and basically has not played. Can't imagine an end of the bench guy killing it in NIL $, so what is keeping him there?
Correct and how do we know the staff is not in discussion with Kyle ? We don’t and there are numerous kids the staff is involved with that have not been mentioned on this board.He was hurt this year. Maybe he likes it there but I thought the same thing about coming home and playing for Pitino.
Not questioning the staff at all RMN, questioning KCJ not hitting the portal but did not know he was injured this year.Correct and how do we know the staff is not in discussion with Kyle ? We don’t and there are numerous kids the staff is involved with that have not been mentioned on this board.
Be patient, this staff knows what they are doing.
