I don't know why you would say Cole is pretty much gone. I know he would like to come back if things are the right situation for him. He might leave. But I wouldn't say he is pretty much gone yet. Maybe later today, but not yet.
Someone maybe Dasher said they should be done this week. Whether that is accurate or not, the main point is in no way, shape, or form, should the staff not be proactively recruiting the portal whether they can actually "offer" right now or not. They should not be "waiting" and I truly hope that is not the case. However based on your quote saying they most likely won't reach out until dominos fall that is the point, that is not how effective recruiting works in this day and age
We should be hitting the portal hard right now. We just had a losing season. I can't for the life of me believe this is even a question. Guys will leave. We need help. Help is out there if we work for it.
100% correct. But it is a sign of the way we have been going about our business for a few years now. It's not a winning way. You let kids know we want you. You are important to us. You can put us over the top. It's called selling.
Guys will leave. They always do.
While that is true, we have this discussion every year. There will be attrition. Either players will move on or they will be steered out the door if we need to make room for someone.
We have two guards that we can count on to contribute next season. If there’s a guy in the portal that we think is legitimately good, we should be trying to woo him.
I would say it would. And I want Mintz. But we can't afford to be left holding the bag. We need a better guard than we have right now. Someone that can do what these guys do only a little bit better and a little bit more. And they are out there. Someone will get them. Like I said, I want Mintz. I'm not willing to wait for him to decide. There is a good chance that anyone we go after now, won't decide before Mintz does anyway. if we get someone almost as good today, I'm fine with that.
Yes. Every coach does it. "I'm sorry but we don't think you will get any playing time next season".
Jesse may test the water with NBA
Mintz said will make decision at end of month at Nationals
JB doesn’t want more than 7 who can contribute. He doesn’t want to be questioned about playing time. We have 46 years of proof.
You don’t know that they aren’t checking things out in the portal. It seems people think the staff is just out fishing or playing golf. Most have no clue what the staff is doing.
The last 4 years has been the worst in terms of minute distribution. We are hoping that with a certain blinder removed things will get better. At the very least have players at the 6-13 spots that are practice worthy.
