[QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1956042, member: 87"]
In fairness to IthacaMatt - Two things about the Paul Harris comparison: he had a reputation of being all-universe and in reality he was a very limited player at the college level, and secondly we need shooting and PH, for all his strengths was not a shooter at all. So far it is entirely possible that Hami is Paul Harris part 2, his rep is that of all-world, but in reality he could have fundamental shortcomings in areas that are of critical importance to us. (note: I said possible, not probable).

That said: of course we should all be thrilled if we land a guy like Hami. You just do not turn away players like that. And Ithaca - while you have reasonable points about some of the needs of the team going forward, your approach has been extremely sour and particularly pessimistic. Nobody is going to agree with you that GMac has screwed the pooch or that the end is neigh. If this staff hasn't done enough to build your trust that they will come through with a good-to-great roster for 17, then what could they possibly do to ever earn that trust? In that light, your posts sound like a spoiled kid whining about his Christmas presents not being good enough.
