He gone
Anybody still think he doesn’t start next year?
I don’t think he’s that good all around but balls of steel he doesn’t quit good guy to have on your team when it’s not going well.
If he doesn't start next season, his dad is going to yell at the coach.
He’s already better than Cooney ever was.
Just yesterday, I had this conversation with someone who was there when JB played. Said Jim was a really, really good shooter. If he was open, it was in. He just really wasn't very athletic. (Of course, he could have unconsciously compared Jim to his back-court mate.For those posters that are super wise and were around when JB played, how does Buddy’s game compare to Jim’s?
The Coon Dog was a voracious shooter. Buddy is a maker!TC was a pretty great defensive player and more careful with the ball. But, Buddy is much better as a freshman and will certainly grow into a better defender. TC didn’t really contribute until his 3rd year in the program, but I’m not sure Buddy would have seen the floor at all if he was a freshman on the 2012 team.
Buddy doesn’t break the 2012 rotation just because he wouldn’t have got enough minutes to justify wasting a year.TC was a pretty great defensive player and more careful with the ball.

Buddy is playing better this year than I ever thought he would in his 4 years here. Mea culpa, give me a fork for the crow, take away my scouting licenseI’ve never been more wrong about a guy’s outlook in a single season than I was about Buddy this year. His growth as a player in-season this year has been nothing short of remarkable.
Thank god for Buddy. He became a MAN tonight.

Cooney was a great defender but last night was why Buddy is going to be a pain for ACC teams for the next 3 years.
When he is a Senior he will be one of those guys people will say has been jn college for like 6 years.
Buddy is a role player 3rd/4th option on a NC title team. I could see him on last year’s Villanova team.
Good point about how unusual it is to improve over the conference season. Rautins actually regressed, down the stretch, in his first few years. Seemed like he got worn down and it affected his shot.I agree.
His development over the year has been incredible. And the fact that he's gotten better over the course of ACC play isn't something you see from too many freshmen. He's going to be an Arcidiacono type, because I'm pretty sure that Arcidiacono is still on Villanova.
Expect the same on all counts when JG3 gets here.I don’t think he’s that good all around but balls of steel he doesn’t quit good guy to have on your team when it’s not going well.
