Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1767416, member: 40"] Not me--I love Gillon. But I understand where you're coming from in terms of the long-term perspective. I also think it is important to keep in mind that we didn't know about the scholarship relief at that point. People can say that they expected X, Y, or Z to occur last fall--and many hazarded guesses--but nobody knew for sure. The NCAA is also unpredictable, so while many expected the sanctions to be walked back, we were all holding our breath until the reduction actually got announced. What if KJ hadn't flopped and was poised to play next season? What if Chino doesn't transfer? What if Mali doesn't leave? We couldn't recruit both Battle and Huerter because we didn't have the scholarship in Nov 2015 to accommodate both. Hindsight is 20/20; had we known that those two would transfer, I'm willing to bet we might have recruited another guard option more actively. [/QUOTE]
