I hope you’re right, but I’m much more pessimistic [Negative!]

Seeing that Estrella signed with Michigan after all of our talk of possibly getting him and whether he was actually good enough for us and whether $4M was an agent’s fantasy number… doesn’t give me confidence that the new GerryEra is exciting enough to non-Scrantoncuse area folks to get us impactful players, before demonstrating we’re a tourney team.

Feels like my Red Sox, after a bunch of seasons at/near the bottom of the division, and the front office says we’re in “full throttle” mode in the offseason, but then we just sign injured/rehabbing players, reclamation projects, and guys with hidden peripherals and intangibles.

I wish I had some insight into who we should/could get, but I don’t watch much ‘other’ College basketball. I’m left with just considering concepts and trying to parse video highlights and reconciling them vs the competition level in those videos vs the ACC. The big euro scorer we got, for example—I would prolly be more excited about him if not for the hype over this year’s Aussie kid and how our fans were optimistic because he was playing in a ‘pro league’ and had a couple of nice showings in international play. This new guy might be a more prolific Cole Swider. He might be another Fennell.
