Ridiculous Is all I have to say.
A starting line up of Posh and Storr in the backcourt, with Soriano, Stanley and Jones up front, with exactly 8 months of practice under Coach Pitino prior to their first game next October excites the hell out of me. Everyone one of those players has shown they are capable of scoring, rebounding, playing D , Storr needs some work on D. Give them a structured system, especially Jones, and no telling what they can do. Maybe Gardner works his way in to the starting line up, maybe the juco does, they both have very good size, Wusu off the bench, King backing up Posh , that is already 9 players I listed. Can’t really play too many more than that.
Replacing everyone, wow, all I can say is we really have a different set of values. I never want any kid to transfer.
Hopefully you don’t have a kid who plays university sports that has to read what you post.
You never want a kid to transfer when they are your players! The entire lineup next year is really the coach's decision just as Anderson shuffled his starting 5 this entire year with only Soriano being the constant.
Posh sat some games. Some games he played the SG.
Other times he played the point. Same with Curbelo.
Jones never started again in the crunch of the schedule.
Omar started eventually but then would ride the pines due to fouls. There was no consistent top 6 players.
The consensus was we have a BAD TEAM by most of you here!
Now, you all want to play the loyal alums supporting the kids.
Yes, if Pitino is the coach we "may" have better results.
If the schedule is as weak as this year we likely could be in the top half W/L-wise. But this group was never going to make post-season noise and most of you couldn't wait for the season to be over.
If you think that by just adding Pitino will make Posh a better and smarter player, I beg to differ. Adding bigger bodies that can shoot is going to be the key to improving the offense.
Defense is instilled in practices and requires a disciplined approach. Offense requires smart players in the backcourt with quick movement and passing. We continually overdribbled the ball.
Watch Princeton for the disciplined approach.
It would be great if our players could all make a big improvement next year but we know that some are what they are and a new coach may just bury those players deeper on the bench. It's best if some move on for their own good.
Yes, you hate players to transfer but you will covet a half dozen of the hundreds in the portal in a couple of weeks.
