Looks like Evan Daniels is the new "must follow" guy when it comes to Pitt reportingdefinitely need to address the guard position in a hurry.
Definitely not a surprise. I think we’ll get good players to right the ship, it just probably means some more short term struggles.
It will be interesting to see where these players end up:Definitely not a surprise. I think we’ll get good players to right the ship, it just probably means some more short term struggles.
Bet that none of them do anything great.It will be interesting to see where these players end up:
Luther - Arizona
Stewart - ?
Carr - ?
Golden - ?
Kingsby - ?
I think they all would have been helpful.
Starting from scratch again. Still - 4 returning (so far) for next season is better than 2 for last season. Hopefully Capel can pull 2 or 3 rabbits out of the hat.
Biggest needs are 2 players that can play the point and a physical big. (I am assuming Ellison stays)
I agree and in the long run they would not have been happy as it was a lose lose situation. If they stayed and couldn’t handle adversity, and they all certainly proved that last year, they would have become a disruption. I say move on and bring in some better players.Bet that none of them do anything great.

Not to get into an argument, but:
- How helpful were they last year.Stop and think how many games were we out of it at the half and showed a great second half against the backups. 0-19 let them all go.

Carr and Stewart must have seen the writing on the wall.
They were gonna lose playing time. No other reason to leave.
Pitt will hopefully get two frosh and two juco's before long.
Who are they Going to lose Playing Time To?
Do you think before you Post? So hey are going to transfer to a Better program with Better Players, yet they are Leaving Pitt because they are worried about playing time?
God we have Petty and Stupid fans!!
Carr is going to Michigan or Ohio State because he can play more minutes for them than Pitt?
Ok dude.

Wow , you read on twitter that Big 10 schools where looking at him and you assume those schools. Anyways I am being optimistic about Capel's ability to recruit ok dude.Carr is going to Michigan or Ohio State because he can play more minutes for them than Pitt?

He won't see significant minutes at OSU and they will recruit over him. But it is his life and he can go where he pleases.Great is subjective, but what they heck. A few predictions for fun.
- If Luther stays healthy, he has a very solid final year at 'Zona. I think he averages close to a double-double there if his foot problems don't resurface.
- Stewart has a very good career, with solid shooting and production for his remaining three years. Whether that's at a major or mid-major, who knows. I'm hearing that playing for his dad is still a strong possibility, but regardless of where he lands, I think he's a player to be reckoned with.
- I like Carr's potential if he goes to the right program. I think if he lands at OSU or Michigan, he could wind up being a star. Minnesota or Marquette, who the heck knows. IMO, he's an idiot if he goes to MN or Marquette, as neither Pitino nor Wojo are particularly stable HCs and he could wind up in this same situation within a year or two (fired HC).
- Golden is my sleeper. The kid has been rising up the rankings boards; he can shoot the ball, his older brother (who was not as highly ranked) is a stud at Richmond, and Bryce is the epitome of the 21st century 4. If he picks the right program, I think he's the kid of this bunch who could wind up being a star.
- Kingsby, we hardly knew ya. Good luck at New Mexico A&M&T.
You can't be citing Dokish as an authority, can you?

Considering who Capel is recruiting and who has suddenly put Pitt as a favorite, I think Capel knew this a little while ago. Carr is just announcing it now and he also knew that Capel was recruiting over him. His playing time at Pitt, even next year, would have been reduced, possibly significantly depending on how well the new guys develop.
The next few weeks will be telling, especially regarding the PG position. It should be very interesting and this could be something that helps Pitt next year and beyond.

I don't expect that is the way the team will look. More likely:This is not unexpected. Capel gets no blame here obviously but it is interesting that he couldn't recruit Carr and Stewart to stay to play for him.
Like it or not, 0-19 is probable. Capel has to land like a Top 10 2019 class if this rebuild will be expedited in any way. While a Top 25 class would be nice, that would be a slower 3-4 year build.
Lineup:
PG - Joe Mascaro/Malik Ellison
SG - Malik Ellison/Kham Davis
SF - JWF/Davis
PF - Stevenson/George
C - Brown/Peace
That right there is a bottom-level A10 team

Yeah, let's sweat over a lineup that isn't near complete.
There's virtually no chance that what you're predicting happens. You've basically predicted the ceiling for each kid other than Kingsby.
I think your analysis is spot on.I'm predicting that Luther will simply repeat what he did this year. I'm suggesting in the right program that Carr COULD excel, but that in the wrong program might never be heard from again. I'm suggesting Parker will have a solid, if unspectacular, career. And I think if there's a star among these young men, it's Golden.
So, basically, I'm saying Luther's already hit his ceiling and, if healthy, can repeat it at 'Zona; that Parker should continue to improve incrementally each year and have a solid college career (he already scored 10 ppg as a freshmen, shooting 42%+ in ACC play); that Carr, should he wind up in the right program and right role might be on ESPN regularly or might slip into the abyss, and that Golden is the kid who could become a real stud.
How is that projecting ceiling for every kid?

Luther will match what he did this year(when he played 30+ minutes against scrub competition in the OOC schedule), when he's playing less minutes against better competition?
You used the word "star" in both descriptions of Carr and Golden.
Here's what I think.
None of them will be stars.
- Luther plays 15-20 minutes a game and averages 6 or 7 points and 5 or 6 rebounds. Because that's what he is on team with any talent.
- Carr plays 20-25 minutes a game and is a 12 ppg kind of guy.
- Stewart is what he was this season. A shooter, who if given an open look can knock some shots down
- Golden is likely to be a Ryan Luther
Carr and Stewart must have seen the writing on the wall.
They were gonna lose playing time. No other reason to leave.
Pitt will hopefully get two frosh and two juco's before long.
