Hello Vader my old friend

There are many ways to say he improved and still says. You're lumping a lot of assumptions into that. And if he turns into a lottery this year then I like our chances finding a top flight PG.
 
Assuming X is leaving and we most likely will miss on our top pg, I may be in the minority but I would seriously look at available juco pg’s. You have to have another one in the chamber and college ready. Just a thought.

Good idea. It would be nice to have someone with experience. Grad Transfer is another avenue.

There is zero need to panic unless you are in the old grizzly group that has a certain star requirement for Capel. Yes, he's on his 3rd class, but we've only seen one play. Remember when drum was a priority? Well he's playing this year. Grumpy bear called it wait and see approach, I call it realistic.
 
Yea I’d like to take a grad transfer PG at this point if we can get back in with Shakeel. Decommit market maybe too.

what about if we miss on Timberlake and PSU gets fired? Do we take Gordon at that point or still pass?

Consistently landing guys in the Top 100-200 range should be considered a good job at Pitt. I’m not sure why the angst from some people.
 
That’s the key there; if you opt for a grad transfer then you absolutely have to have a coachable freshman soaking up every amount of basketball knowledge there is. At this point I don’t think either Moore or Gordon would opt for Pitt even if available.

I disagree. I think family circumstances would make Gordon go to Pitt if there was a coaching change at PSU. Also he’s friends with big John

Don’t we have guys that already fill Gordon’s role on the team? Can he become a consistent 3 point shooter at the next level?

That’s true, my only point was that as a 17 year old kid getting slow played, you may have a little resentment; if indeed that’s how it all played out. Someone mentioned in another thread it may have had more to do with playing time.
 
People yes JC was there Top recruiter at Duke but please understand its Coach K that closes the deal because of his reputation not Jeff Caples. They are one of the Blue Bloods because of Coach K period and that happened before JC showed up.
Now we need JC to get to the point where is the closer here but that won't totally happen until he gets us back to winning big time at Pitt which will take 3 to 5 years. IMO

Who is suggesting otherwise? I got criticized when I said that 4 weeks ago
 
Yeah i was gonna say , where is it is written in the bible that X is leaving ?
He’s projected as a #2 pick now. The staff knows he intends on leaving. As we sit here today, what would prevent that? Injury? Bad season? No thanks. He’s likely gone. And after RJD announces for UNC tomorrow morning, we will have a lot of ground to make up with someone.

Maybe there’s some kid who wanted to go to Pitt that they were slow playing because of RJ . JC will get a pg .

Hey Protes, if you're going to quote a song you should cite the original. Stay was originally done by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs.
Picky, picky, man! I know it was a cover.

I have 18,000 files in my ITunes, so I think I know a thing or two about music.

Second rounder I presume you mean? We know he is not going to be the #2 lottery pick.
