Yep. We brought in a couple guys that we knew were huge projects that were clearly mistakes. Cut them loose but you have to use those ships on good players.

Davis and Stewart and Stevenson havent done much either.

I think he'll grow as a player and leader. He's gotta be a role player though.

If Brown had ACC big man strength, he scores at least 10 today and Pitt wins. Unfortunately he does not right now. If he is committed and puts the time in at the gym, he will be a solid player a year or two down the line.

Agreed, all the freshman will benefit with time in the weight room.

Brown shows mobility and pretty good hands just lacking strength to finish right now.

Davis looks to have a good upside, needs to play more confidently and I think that will happen during his career.

I know it is an unpopular opinion, but this is where i would have liked to see Manigault retained. I know he was terrible last year, but what would a year in an NCAA conditioning program and an offseason of coaching allowed, he was a solid recruit on paper. If nothing we would have had a better sense of whether these coaches can develop.
We also might have had Aaron Thompson, which would be really nice.

Stallings wants everyone to have the option to pull out and take a three. Manigault just did not fit his system. He also was a discipline problem both here and at the JC he is at now. Could have kept him to get Thompson then kicked off the team later but I don't like the ethics of that decision.

 

[FordhamIII]

Not sure but I think we could of had both if Manigult would have stayed.

Reports are that Stallings was very disappointed in his conditioning.

Would love to of kept Thompson along with Stewart and Carr, would have been a pretty good bac

Not sure the discipline problem is that concerning. He did get suspended at JC but I’ve not heard he is a bad dude or something. He buddies up to the seniors last year and they weren’t the best influences and he was a young Frosh. I think the conditioning was the bigger issue. He has shot pretty well at JC

Yeah I gotta consider Stevenson a big too, his future if he has one has gotta to be at the 4. His ball handling is absolutely terrible, no way he can be effective as a 2 even a 3 is pushing it.
