Best Case Scenario

[Chescat]

If we're gonna wish, let's
shoot for the moon:

Center.................... Grad Transfer/ Grad Transfer
Pf............................ Hugley/Oladapo
SF............................ Champagnie/Jeffers
PG........................... OduKale/Burton
Off Guard.............. Sibande/Horton
Non Rotation........Collier, Amadason
Open Schollie........ ??

The above scenario would be
a dream come true for today's
Pitt fans (for Capel too, LOL).
If he could pull something like
this out of his hat, everything,
and I do mean EVERYTHING
would change immediately for
Pitt Bball.

Don’t forget about Efton Reid. It seems like a long shot, but hey, one can dream right?

Hugley at PF?

Hugley at PF?

Yes, Hugley at PF. That's really
what he is IMO. We saw him at
Center last year due to our
total lack of an effective big.

Good point! So if I were to
ammend my wish list, I'd go
with the Grad Transfer and
Reid.

You just made the wish list
even more Wishful. I like it!

Don’t count out Santos... He may pull minutes...

Collier and Santos are getting minutes.

Collier and Santos are getting minutes.

The above list has 10
players ahead of Collier
and Santos. Which of those
10 would sit while Collier
and Santos "get minutes?"

By the way, all of those
10 probably won't be
here unfortunately. If they
aren't, I agree Collier and
Santos get minutes. Also,
if those two are getting
minutes, we IMO, will be in
trouble next year.

Collier and Santos are getting minutes.

How much do you think can be expected of Santos his freshman year? Any way he surpasses Jeffress?

If he can shoot he’s getting minutes

 

[Pitt2006]

Santos was a top 60 recruit at one point and will be 20 when the season begins. Not a typical freshman and if he has recovered I think he will be a welcome addition. I would see him over Horton if more consistent. I would expect more from him then Jeffress coming in at 17 even if less athletic. He was brought in to shoot 3s and if he does that he will get his time unless someone else miraculously lights up from range.

Santos is probably a 3 as a freshmen. Like Souf said, if he can shoot the 3 - he's going to get minutes.

Personally, I don't think he will surpass Jeffress. Year 2 Jeffress is going to be an asset imo.

I agree. I feel Jeffress has
more innate talent than
anyone on the team, and
that includes Champ. I
expect to see a major leap
in his performance in the
next two years. He's still
very young.

How young? How's this
for comparison....Odukale
turned 20 in January, while
Jeffress turns 18 this coming
June. He played here as a 17
year old. They both came in as
freshmen this past season.
At that age Jeffress could
easily be a senior in h.s. this
coming season. I predict big
things from him starting in
2021-22.

Yes, Hugley at PF. That's really
what he is IMO. We saw him at

I don't agree that he's a PF at all.

I think the chances of getting a commitment from Reid are greater than the chance of Hugley coming back to Pitt.

But like you said ... it's a wish list ... let's get them both!!

I'm hopeful for a very big step forward from William. In fact, I'm pretty optimistic about it.

Not in 2021.
