It's a common thing to use the exception to the rule as a way of defining the rule.

Any of us could name two dozen forgettable freshman that went on to have good careers.  Point guards included.

Ennis was our last freshman to run point well for us.

So... 3 examples of good freshman point guard play since the national championship?

In something of a tangent; One thing we haven't done well the last 15 years is recruit PG, from any source.  Even going back to Gbinije playing out of position in 14-15, when we just decided to play without a point guard, we have been a desert of good point guard play.

We had some very good rosters that were submarined by average at best point guards.  For instance, Gillon had his moments, but led a team with 8 top100 RSCI rated recruits (including two guys who played in the NBA) to a 19-15 record.

Girard, who got more ink here than virtually any player ever, played for us 4 years.  He was notable for his shooting, point guard size and no point guard skills.

I thought George would be an oasis, but who knows exactly what went wrong with that situation.

I seriously doubt Moesch is the solution to the point guard problem, especially after watching much higher rated PG come out of high school and bomb or underperform just last season.

I will be very happy if he can give us ten minutes a game and not hurt us.  If he is better than that, and actually makes a starting role, that would be shocking, and hopefully in a good way.
