Right on both counts. He's certainly a decent player and I wish we could have kept him.
If Capel goes 0-19 next year
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date
We'll have to see how he coaches to make that call. If he pulls a player out of the game while he's hot and replaces him with a player who's not playing well, I'd say he's at fault!
And, I will add most/all of these things were not due to bad luck or chance. IMO, they were predominantly caused by KS's inept attempt to blow everything up and start from zero rather than taking a more sane and measured approach to a rebuild.
Can’t disagree more
1) had Kithcart and CM been talented players they’d still be at Pitt . Assuming whatever got Kithcart kicked off the team was related only to his frustration of his play .
2) most likely had CM been successful Thompson would’ve come to
Pitt .
3) injuries to Clark and Luther were unavoidable
4) the failure of Wilson to improve from his freshman yr ,which wasn’t very good for a 4* , and the lack of any players ready to take over when the seniors left is more about the previous coaches recruiting failures
5) according to Cams father the plan was always to transfer after three yrs .
In no way is this an endorsement of KS , but what viable choices were
there ? A team consisting of Nix , CM , JK , DW , an injured RL & Clark , JWF plus the freshman he was capable of recruiting would’ve sucked . How many ACC games does this group win ? Blowing up this roster was the only viable option there was . His major failure was in his inability to recruit better players to Pitt .
KS inability to turn things around and going 0-19 directly lead to Pitt firing him . Pitt never eats his huge contract otherwise and the hiring of JC never happens . Pitt now for the first time has a coach whose an elite recruiter . Things worked out for the best !
He supposedly worked very hard to keep that first class together and then jettisoned every one of them from the program...ponderous, man.
Steven Tyler disagrees with you.
Gotta love that guitar bursting in at the 24 sec mark.
He should have known what he was getting before convincing them to stay. He could have brought Kene in a year sooner.
There’s no comparison in the recruiting abilities of KS and JC and you can see how difficult it is at this time of yr to find quality players . The last thing Pitt needed when Stallings took over was more grad transfers . What they needed freshman and both JK and CM were rated high enough to expect them to be far better players than they were .
But ya know what WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE !
He was a sitting HC recruiting at a similar level school. Our competition landed plenty of quality players during that time. KS just didn't try.
