Scathing is your word, not mine. All I've said is don't give up on the kid.
What network will you be on this weekend? Intellectually honest minds are dying to know.
Are you going to ask me if I'm 5-7 next?
For the record, I didn't say I was giving up on him, either -- just that I wonder if his indisputable one-dimensionality is a fit for what Autry will prefer in recruits going forward.
If that type of objectivity makes you avoid the board and stoop to personal attacks, that's on you.
I expect to see a completely different type of offensive game plan from our new HC, and I don't believe [time will tell, this is my opinion only] that he is going to target guys who can only do one thing. I expect that Red will prefer forwards who are more like Mutts from VT than guys like Bell, who don't rebound or handle the ball.
That doesn't imply that shooters like Bell won't have value, just that a guy who can ONLY shoot might not be as good of a fit for our new system, or be the type of player that the coaching staff targets going forward.
It's also possible that Bell doesn't opt to return. Before that gets misconstrued as a prediction -- it's not. Just pointing out that it's a possibility.
We've already had three players leave, I think we could see two more cast their line in the water in upcoming weeks, as the new staff looks to upgrade the talent on the roster. Would a kid like Bell [or Taylor, for that matter] want to return if we add a starting caliber forward via the portal, who could relegate him to a bench role? Stay tuned.
