I'm pretty sure Gillon coming on board was the result of Malachi heading to the NBA.  Boeheim knew he needed a 3rd guard who could play lots of minutes.  He certainly isn't coming here to take Kaleb's place.  They knew what they had in Chino and Joseph transferring was a done deal in January.  I'm like you in that I'm just curious as the rationale why they're going with 8-9 players.

Some posters think that the staff is very good at identifying talent, but must suck at predicting who will go to the NBA early because they're constantly surprised.  Mike Hopkins sees more people play basketball live in a month while recruiting than I have in my life, but according to some posters he can't tell if someone has NBA skills or not.  But, unlike some people on the board, I saw Mali as a potential 1 & done relatively early and I'm 99.999% sure that Hop and JAB knew what kind of player Malachi could be [B]a lot[/B] earlier than me:

I don't know why people keep thinking that that the staff can't judge NBA talent, though.

I don't think that's true.
