Washington and Carey in the portal

[SWC75]

They are looking for a place that has no coronavirus.

 

[kirbivore]

The D almost always improved with either Washington or Brycen in the game. One would think that would have earned more minutes. There was really no good reason to play JG and Buddy so many minutes.

In the past we saw JB give quick hooks for defensive lapses, except for Buddy and Girard.

 

[cuseguy]

again, though - what did Goodine display to warrant the minutes he apparently thought/thinks he was/is entitled to? I ask this sincerely

Here’s the problem. We recruit a number of players that the staff thinks highly of before arriving at SU. Then they get here and they turn out to be a lot less than advertised. So they sit on the bench, sulk, become frustrated and transfer. It’s a loss for them, but it also winds up being a loss for the program. We need to find a replacement and develop the player again. It’s an ugly cycle, but it begins with doing a better job of eyeing prospects.

It looks like at least one finished his exit interview with JB.

the plan was not to have all 3 leave.

It’s all...part of the plannnnnnnn

Show me the quote where Goodine said he was entitled to anything! I think you are making an assumption here. Maybe he just decided to leave for an opportunity to play more, without any bad attitude.

Raise your hand if this surprises you at all.

(Doesn’t raise hand).

But Brycen had potential...this isn’t completely true.

 

[tbonezone]

if you can't field 9 conference worthy players on your roster in any season then it's time to go. he built this team.
we all saw how well version 6.5 worked this season. "HEY we're above .500 !" throw a parade !

 

[Wrinkle]

I didn't want to see any of them go but the numbers don't lie. All 3 were terrible on the court.

read the Waters article, it's right in there.
I don't fault the kid for wanting or thinking he deserves more minutes - but you have to go out and prove it and be a little patient...

one can both:
be disappointed that Goodine is leaving (i.e. recognize his potential)
*and*
not understand the beef Goodine apparently has

 

[patcuse]

Maybe Brendan Paul ends up with a scholarship.
???

Great now we get to listen from the crybabies why Brendan isn’t getting minutes.

 

[Ghost]

Columbia also has 2 graduate guards in the portal, get one of them to come over with Tape'.

Mike Smith, 5-11 180, avg. 22.8 pts., 34.1% 3-pt., 37.7 mpg. Probably won't stand for 12-minutes PT though being a high volume shooter at 19 shots/game.

Jake Killingsworth, 6-5 205, avg. 7.4 pts., 32.9% 3-pt., 33.5 mpg, 5.4 rpg. If dude has lateral quicks and could learn the zone slides he could maybe provide some steadying leadership the backcourt.

Uhhh, those three point numbers don't scream out spacing to me. Hard pass.

they were freshmen and sophomores..

 

[pearl31]

they were freshmen and sophomores..

ok, and they played freshman/sophomore minutes

 

[malpearl31]

Brycen wasn't terrible... I think he could have developed into a good guard here if he had chosen to come back. I'm curious to see where he ends up and how much he develops.

 

[orange7]

ok, and they played freshman/sophomore minutes

And deserved more. A lot more.

 

[upperdeck]

Goodine was gonna get some minutes next yr the others probably not much

 

[pfister1]

Can’t blame them. JB isn’t reducing Buddy or Girard minutes. We now have only three guards in the program and one hasn't stepped on campus yet.

What would we do with more than 3?

 

[pearl31]

And deserved more. A lot more.

based on what? did you watch the games?

 

[cuseguy]

But Brycen had potential...this isn’t completely true.

Potential, sure. But admit that you thought both he and Carey would’ve shown more in their short time at SU. Apparently JB couldn’t convince BG to stick around long enough to display his potential.

 

[tbonezone]

might also think about who your starters practice against.

 

[cuseguy]

What would we do with more than 3?

What if there’s an injury? We’ve been pretty lucky there. And find me a team anywhere with only 3 guards. I’ll wait.

Who was sulking? Besides Howard’s mom?

Players don’t deserve anything. They EARN everything.

 

[pfister1]

So our problem is that we don’t have a 4th guard who won’t play anyway?

Not that big of a deal then.

You didn't notice that each of the last two years, we've had guards that were expected to play major minutes have injuries - Frank Howard last year and Carey this year.
