It was more like a 50/50 proposition.Gillon was a lot better than just three games.

one player on that list was pretty much useless this year. Plus, the biggest jump most players make is between their frosh and soph years. I expect both Battle and Thompson to be better players next year. Lydon as well if he comes back.I thought a team with Lydon, Thompson, Roberson, White and Battle would very, very good. They weren't. I learned my lesson.
Xavier Rathan-Mayes, G Florida State - Same as Hall, not happening.
Mikyle McIntosh, PF Illinois State - Injuries limited him this year. 11ppg, can shoot 3's
Kassius Robertson, G Canisius - 6'3" Canadian kid. 17ppg, over 40% from 3 the past 2 years.
I'll speak to the Canadians...
X isn't happening but man he would be perfect for us. Always wondered why we didn't recruit him with Tyler seeing as they played in same AAU backcourt and for Canada's Junior National Team. They loved playing together and once it was known FSU and Wiggins weren't happening, I don't think it was out of the realm of possibility to pry him away. Even late in the process. I know we had Cooney but Red and Hop were already putting in the leg work with some of his inner circle to land Tyler.
I think Mykile McIntosh would be a great fit as well. Like a homerun. He would look great in that power small forward role similar to how we used CJ Fair. He was a Grassroots Canada kid who went lower than his offers. He could ABSOLUTELY play at this level. The only thing I wonder here is if his skill set is redundant with Oshae already coming to town. Similar players. No clue who's handling Mykile's recruitment since the core of guys who ran Grassroots when he was in high school have since drifted apart.
Kassius Robertson is one of my favourite kids. I used to watch him work out once a week with a group that often included Duane Notice, Kevin Pangos, Stefan Jankovic... Always admired the speed and intensity he trained with. To be honest I never thought he was good enough to play at this level but his production at the lower level speaks for itself. He would be great in the zone and has turned himself into a very effective catch and shoot player who can also get to the rim. Can he run offense in the ACC? Not sure. Can't say I've seen a lot of Canisius games in last two years. And with HW already in the fold, I'm not sure we need more depth in the rotation. We need a bonfied ACC starting point guard. I think the world of this kid but am not sure he's that. Would be personally excited to see him in Orange, but I'm sick of the bubble. We could use a thoroughbred. Not sure how likely it is we land one, but it's what we need.
Good stuff. Thanks. Any thoughts on Sam Rautins.I'll speak to the Canadians...

I guess I can't edit my original post anymore like I had planned to keep updating this list. That's disappointing.
Any idea why you can't edit posts/replies from more than 24 hours ago?
I thought so too, but the only replies I can edit are from today.I thought you could edit the post just not the subject title. If you need help just regarding the title a mod can do it.
