No other transfer has said anything like this. Plus Hugley said it is all bullshit. Believe what you want. Capel is here for at least another year. Pitt fans should ease up on the program bashing till next year.
There is no way to spin what is happening into a positive. If Capel where a 60 year old balding, white guy named Stevin Kallings, then he would have been fired based on this same body of work. Just a complete mess.
Good riddance to bothIthiel Horton’s Father Details Decision to Transfer from Pitt: ‘The Problem is Between the Lines’
Ithiel Horton’s decision to transfer from Pitt raised many eyebrows and got some to question his loyalty to Pitt following their backing of him following an off-season arrest. Not surprisingly, not everyone agrees with the take that Horton wasn’t loyal to Jeff Capel and Pitt and as is normally...
The problem is that what we are seeing matches up with the comments. I am referring only to the observable play on the court. The offense had few workable moving parts for long stretches in most games. A source in the program sends in a report such as we read, another source refutes it. Which account is supported by facts rather than emotion? You can believe what you want, but if your idea of a well coached offense is what has been rolled out, I don't know what to tell you.
Good lord. You guys complain about everything. If he gives coach speak, you cry. If he comes out and literally says we suck at recruiting you cry.
Which is a good reason to find another venue which he is now doing. Too bad Capel had to go public with it, the classy move would be to just tell the player he is not in the rotational plan for next year.
Of course the full quote was “..and I’m 100% accountable for that “
That must have been the spot that HCJC referred to which would have won him a substantial number of games early on, or so he seemed to say....
I don’t recall him calling Horton out specifically. I must have missed that part.
Good point. Perhaps he wants Horton back, that is another good reason to keep such obvious statements to ones self and communicate with the players. Every Coach needs to recruit better with maybe the exception of 4-6 teams.
Someone tell Mr. Horton they wouldn't have to play zone if his son could guard someone in man.
He doesn’t need to communicate to the players
We're also blaming his son's lazy play and legal troubles, which he isn't. Mr. Horton missed the fact that his son was part of the problem.
There was a white shooter from Duke - Taylor king I think was his name- we joked all the time he couldn’t guard a garbage can .
I really believed (ala SMF )that Pitt had a chance to be better next year, but stuff like this episode and reflection of the season has me believing otherwise.
Not me. Horton’s father is most likely closer to the truth but folks like u can’t seem to accept why we stink. This staff needs to go and they r wasting another year. It is year 4 and another 5 players quit the program and u don’t see a problem?
This is the problem. We literally heard during the sit out year that he was the best offensive player in the ACC. So the evals are off. They don’t know what they’re looking at
It is a pattern, too.
I pushed back on that at the time.
Anyone who ever lived in or travelled regularly into pgh knows that once that car is on the truck it’s going to 30th street yard .’ I hope Ithiel learned that . That car ain’t coming down
