Cooney struggling and Cooney getting a crap ton of minutes is not relevant to the argument being made.  Cooney could shoot.  Cooney was recruited as a shooter.  Therefore, Syracuse recruited a guard who could shoot.  Ennis shot 35% from 3 as a freshman on a good number of attempts.  Scoop shot 36% for his career.  It is more than fair to say Ennis was as good a shooter as Jardine.  Triche struggled in his senior year, which really killed his career percentage, but he tallied 40%, 33%, and 35% in his first three seasons.  Most (All.  And yes, I mean all) college basketball teams would love to have a physical 6'4" SG who could get to the rim, pass, play D, and shoot like Triche did.

Basically, Millhouse's argument is coming down to what it always comes down to.  He doesn't like that Cooney plays a ton of minutes and isn't an above average 3-point shooter (Millhouse would say he isn't even average).  Considering Cooney and Triche are the only shooting guards we've had for the last 8 years, it's disingenuous to say Syracuse doesn't recruit shooters at the guard positions.  Why not just say, "Why didn't the coaching staff recruit over Trevor Cooney for crying out loud?!"
