Fede to the portal

Holy smokes! I just checked Draft Kings, and the team odds to land Fede are the EXACT same team odds to win a national championship.
With Kante gone I'd take Fede back. He is better than Kante so it would be an upgrade.

Oh boy, here comes the Fede Mafia feeling validated, haha. These schools look good on paper, but you'd almost need to know what their intentions were with him first. I suspect there aren't many schools in the nation who wouldn't want an experienced big who is at least competent on their roster. Even if he only gives you 10 minutes/game, it's something.
In the past, I might have said he should go to a mid-major where he can be a double-digit scorer in his final season. But let's be honest: he should just go to whomever is paying the most. Bank some money before real life begins.
Rebounding is always valued
Not sure why folks don’t understand that.
The game is played on both sides of the court .
When Pitt was a good program , we remembered that .
No, what folks don't understand is that the dude has never averaged more than 5.3 rebounds per game in a season. For comparison purposes, Cam Corhen just averaged 5.2/game. I understand Fede played less minutes when he pulled down 4.5/game last season, but as has been stated on this board: he actually had a lower rebounding % than Corhen.
This isn't DeJuan Blair pulling down 12 boards/game. You guys are simply making him into something that he isn't.
We lost an NBA lottery pick and one of the most prolific scorers in Pitt history in Hinson, and you guys think Fede Federicko was the biggest blow? To that I say no way.
Fede was a borderline elite rim protector and an elite offensive rebounder. For whatever reason, he wasn't a good defensive rebounder. The NCAA Tournament announcers were gushing over him. He is going to get over $1 million in the portal. He is much better than Corhen and if he was on our team last year, we probably make the NCAA Tournament
Show me something that quantifiably proves he was an elite rim protector, because right now that just sounds like something people are saying because they know it can't be easily fact-checked. I recall games when he got absolutely owned on defense.
0% chance we make the tournament with him. Same exact record. We lose a few we won early, and vice versa.
His blocks per minutes played is Top 30ish in college basketball. But you can't just go by that. There are no stats for shots altered or shots not taken because the player felt he would get it blocked. He isnt Mutombo but he's a much bigger defensive paint presence than Corhen. Teams were running layup lines against us.
Do you pine for Terrell Brown? He averaged .5 more blocks per game in his career than Fede.
And I think the myth of Fede is augmented even further when we extrapolate all his stats on a per minute basis, because it doesn't take fatigue and playing with foul trouble into account.
You are right he couldn't catch. Neither could Fede. His inability to finish after being set up perfectly by our guards was a common complaint.
All-ACC Academic Team and ACC Honor Roll. He is smart enough to go where he is paid most. He's not headed to the NBA.
Nobody said that
Fede is an actual defensive presence -
If we kept him last season maybe we don’t tank the end of the season , and make the dance ?
Cam definitely isn’t .
Our weakness was defense and rebounding .
But you throughly destroyed that straw man !
Ah, so it's the Fede Butterfly Effect. Maybe if the Steelers didn't lose Holcomb they would have been grittier in practice, which would have inspired Dan Moore Jr. to block better, which would have given Russ more time to throw, which would have led to more targets for Pickens, which would have made him a model teammate, which would have allowed JPJ to practice more productively, which would have rubbed off on Minkah and caused him to play like he was worth even half of that contract, blah blah blah.
Or, just maybe, adding a very mediocre player to a very mediocre team wouldn't have meant a damn thing.
You are a Fede-denier. Go find an anti-Federiko site. Your kind are not welcome here. 😄
How a team is composed based on skills and traits of the roster -
Isn’t a butterfly effect .
What would you say the biggest flaw of last years team was ?
What kind of player would you have liked to have added to improve or ?
Fede provided a defensive presence and was a rim protector. I thought he was a plus rebounder, and that's where a lot of his points came from. He's an effective role player on P4 team. I liked him for what he was when he was at Pitt
Fede the Great is going to go 4 for 4 in playing for NCAAT-caliber teams. Bro knows how to pick schools, not gonna lie.
