Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) Portal to Georgia

[phil77]

you can’t fault a kid that wants the most money he can get we just don’t have it in us to play that game. So far it’s cost us Edwards and a leader from last year with Girard. I’m not sure I understand the strategy for basketball

Girard didn’t leave for more money

Do you just make things up and assume they are true? Because that's how it seems when you post in this thread.

How else would you view the situation?

In this case. look at what Ga had to offer vs us. He is from Ga. His back court mate just went to Ga. They probably offered more money than us. Hard to beat all of that.

 

[Cuse1055]

Not at this level. And you know who agrees with me? Red and the staff because after getting Carlos, they kept recruiting Leffew.

If that’s the case then hopefully they continue going after other portal PGs.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Any idea where we go from here Dash?

I agree with that. Often in life, you end up with something better when this sort of thing happens. Not always though.

Fair enough I guess it’s how the dominoes fall

The nerve of that guy.

Maybe we do what someone had suggested in an earlier post go for another 3 or 5 and call it a day, that would have been Brown but hopefully we can find someone else

It’s possible, but I hope we go after a lead guard.

Maybe Dakota can be like John Gillon

Xavier kid? Big PG whose mom played for Cuse. Why not?

Carlos put up pretty good numbers against the top competition he saw this year. I think we’d all be happy with 10 points and nearly 7 assists from our PG next year while also being a plus defender(need better 3 pt shooting than 22% though). I’d love Leffew but I think Carlos is getting undersold a bit on here. No guarantees the production translates but there are some indicators that he can be a decent piece, even as the starter.

I hope for the best but I think he is the guy we beat for 40 years. I do love his free throw shooting though.

 

[MikeSU02]

What plan letter are we on now?

Plan B? C? G? M?

I was killed for being critical of this. Can someone tell me where we are in Red’s “plan”?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I don’t think we should look at any player unless they shoot at least 37% from 3. Stop with these non shooters at PG especially with JJ being average to below average there. With the lack of defenders on the team we need to focus on building a team that can score as much as possible.

You, uh, you might want to see a doctor or go to an instacare or something.

Mike flipped his CB to Georgia

The thing is… I mean, we’re probably talking like 100 or 200k difference here. Maybe 300k vs 400 or 500k? Yes, that’s a lot of money but it’s only for one year, and the players rarely make even close to the top end of these supposed figures. Rarely. They are inflated (through incentives) by their agents to their “sources.” He’s gonna make a lot more money overseas or in the G League over the next decade of his professional career to make up for it. Shouldn’t team fit, scheme, playing style, potential for development, and comfort make the biggest difference? Also playing on a championship contending team in front of an engaged fan base? Georgia fans don’t give two craps about basketball. Do you think they have a 90 page thread on any of their fan sites dedicated to a very good but not spectacular transfer player? LOL. I’m mostly kidding…but also not entirely. Anyhow, this is a huge bummer but moving on.

I think it's Vick time! Lol

He's just trying to kill this thread. :vomit:

 

[Sherman20]

Lol some of you simply don't have the stomach for this.

Raises hand. I’m turned off by all of it.

I’m just hoping that Freeman, Starling, Bell and Westry (along with the three new guys) have spectacular seasons next year and lead us back to the tourney and that Red proves he can coach a more fluid and movement heavy offense.

 

[capeorange]

I know this isn't going to be popular, but my sense is that this kid is all about himself. Didn't we just get rid of some guys that put themselves in front of the team.

That's what it looks like. Good call.

I couldn't agree more with this take. That was my greatest attraction to Leffew. We need to have two shooters in the 38 to 40% on the floor. Especially now that we have a low post guy that we can throw the ball down low to.
