Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5370024, member: 628"] When Griffin said that they need to find their Kyle McCord, I couldn't help but think that Starling [I][U]was[/U][/I] Red's Kyle McCord. McCord was the guy that Fran had a long-time, personal relationship with. That's the primary reason we landed him. And of course, Fran did so in his first offseason when he could best exploit the relationships he had with current players on other rosters. Red did the same thing! Two years ago he brought in Starling, Westry and Cuffe. All guys that Red had recruited previously and had personal relationships with. Starling was Red's McCord. McCord turned out to be a guy who would lead the nation in passing and elevated the entire offense. Starling is a no-defense, poor-shooting SG who seems to make his teammates worse when he's the lead guy (see: Bell, Chris). [/QUOTE]
