We NEED to add a guard to the 2012 recuiting class!!!!

[Gabjon]

I believe Dion his gone after this year (and he should be) I am concerned the MCW will blow up next year and leave as well. And that would leave us with:

2012-13
MCW
Cooney
Triche

2013-14
Cooney
FRESHMEN
FRESHMEN

See the problem!

it's a legitimate concern but our recruiting has been blowing up so much that i think we would be in contention for top guards even if we had to play frosh.

Dion would be stupid to leave. He doesn't have a consistent jumper. He doesn't pass well enough, and he'll have to be a PG in the NBA.

MCW will be here at least 3 years.

We are a long ways from MCW leaving early.

JHart and JFlynn started at the point as freshmen and both years ended with the NIT! Cooney is not a PG from my understanding.

Why? Look at Dion now compared to last year.

 

[Marsh01]

We are undefeated, #1 in the country and are having one of those seasons that give me a hard on and we are talking about recruiting a PG for next year????

Oy.

JHart and JFlynn started at the point as freshmen and both years ended with the NIT! Cooney is not a PG from my understanding.

GMac started as a frosh PG and ended with a National Championship.

Are there any guards left in the 2012 class that are good enough for us? Taking leftovers isn't a great idea.

The two people who compare most to Dion, imo are John Wall and Kemba Walker. Let's compare the college stats. (Waiters stats are from this season)

Wall - PPG - 16.6 and APG - 6.5 (34 mins)
Walker - PPG - 23.5 and APG - 4.5 (37 mins)
Waiters - PPG - 12.5 and APG - 2.7 (21.4 mins)

Behind both those guys in points per game and assists per game. He's not ready.

He'd be foolish to pass up millions. He's gone. His j is fine and he can
Work on it in the summer league, practice and 82 games a year.

 

[SaintTristan]

we dont need another guard. dion would be stupid to leave. Flynn isnt lighting the NBA on fire, however he'll likely stick for a bit. I would not be surprised if Donte's NBA career is over after this season - given his potential he has been a massive flop.

Dion needs to learn from this - the NBA isnt where you go to learn to play basketball.

MCW isnt leaving early.

we are fine.

JHart and JFlynn started at the point as freshmen and both years ended with the NIT! Cooney is not a PG from my understanding.

JFlynn's freshman year was the most extreme circumstances that JB has ever faced. Due to injury and defections our Orange had 7 scholarship players: 4 freshman, 2 sophs and a JUCO transfer in KONG. By far the youngest team in JB's history and a remarkable feat just to make the NIT.

like you guys dont get hard watching this team!

Oy.

Its better than another Mookie thread or Scoop isn't this or that. What should we talk about how we should have won by 40?

Good thing you aren't advising him.

How about the GGGGMMMEEENNNNN?!!!

Ok I will stop.

 

[jdubs30]

Do we really need this thread every other day? Dion is NOT leaving after this year unless he tears it up in BE play and is the MOP of the tournament.

look at the minutes ... now multiply his numbers to match their minutes -- oh, and he comes off the bench and puts those numbers up

 

[Gabjon]

GMac started as a frosh PG and ended with a National Championship.

True but should we bank on finding another Gmac? I'm not sure if there are any guards out there that are good enough, but the need is still there.

Or how often they shoot...

Agreed! But do you want a freshmen starting pint guard?

Dont forget both wall and walker were both starters, with both of them averaging what 34 and 37 minutes??? Give Dion say 35 minutes, in between both of them, he will put up bigger numbers. Id say something like 17-18 and 4-5? Albeit this would be my prediction if he was in a starter position...

Flynn was the #6 pick! Leaving was the right decision! people act like he would have become Micheal Jordan my staying. Take the money and hope for the best!
