i'm completely done with grad transfers

[longislandcuse]

I freakin love Andrew White. I'll take one of him every year.

As for Gillon, our style of play demands length and athleticism. If you don't have that, you better be Jonny Flynn (and even then our defense sucked)

One of the other problems with the grad transfers, and again, we don't have much choice with the NCAA penalties... But, Gillon is only 6'0" tall... That's way less than ideal at the top of the zone. Look at the Final Four guards the last two times... Triche was 6'4, MCW 6'6, Cooney 6'4, Gbinije 6'7... When you're recruiting you can be more selective, but when you're trying to find a D1 starting point guard for a top program, your options on the grad transfer market are pretty limited.

Think about the difference that length makes in not just denying shots, but also passes.

you think Gillon is 6 feet tall?

Haha, I'm just using listed heights... I'm guessing the other guys might not be quite as tall as listed, either, but they should all be 4-7 inches taller than Gillon.

would it be any worse if it had joseph and Johnson?

You have made this argument many times before. Yes. We would be a lot worse.

The staff should always prepare for high level recruits leaving early. I have no idea why Patterson and Chino were recruited for basketball. That's on the staff. BJ absolutely needed a redshirt year. Kaleb was a whiff.

So the key is to just continually land a few big-time recruits every single year while also adding some solid program kids every year without whiffing and be prepared for every scenario? Got it!

It's simple for the critics to say. They don't know how to do it themselves. But their job is just to point out the flaws.

Glad youre back, Townie. You and I started off on the wrong foot, I like JB almost as much as you, fear not. Many of these people said the season was over, earlier...unlike me(and probably you?)

Hopefully some recruits watched THIS game!! Without any CLOSERS, we can use all the help we can get!

I am not renewing my tickets next year if we go the transfer route again. I would rather lose with freshman and program kids than mercs.

Good call ace.

Another brilliant post.

The eternal struggle between the artiste and the critic.

Was Carmelo a merc?

there is no one happier to be wrong than me, great job by gillon. I still don't want to build the program around it though.

I actually kind of like being called ace. makes me feel like a fighter pilot or something, thanks man.

Yeah. I thought our goose was cooked.

The team is composed of good players who didn't play well together. We are still doing it largely on individual effort. But there are glimmers of chemistry.

JB didn't forget how to coach nor does he have the character flaws Or weaknesses his frustrated critics believe he has.

I liked two of Townie's posts today. I need to go home and shower.

We have never used transfers to build our program, they are always brought in at an O' moment!
