Jaland Lowe to transfer

[PittPoker]

Capel is gone after next season. 100% if his team collapses again or is avg but doesn't make the NCAA Tournament again. You can't keep a head coach with 1 play-in game invite in 8 seasons.

But I think the players that Capel and his useless staff will end up bringing to Pitt from the portal soon will be all tier 2 or 3 or worse type kids. Nobody that will be some difference maker.

Me personally I think Capel has checked out. Just going through the motions and collecting his money from Heather' stupid extension. I think next season's team is going to be terrible.

And Corhen is gone, that announcement is coming soon too.

So us diehard Pitt fans will just have to deal with 1 more bad season then Capel will get fired and hopefully the AD can hire the right coach. It's all we have to look forward to at this point.

 

[9782978]

i hope that he will be content as a 6th or 7th man at a major or a starter at a mid major. Like Holstein, Slovis, etc., Pitt is actually his best opportunity right now.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

At this point, I don't care where he goes or what he does. He's not part of the Pitt team so he's irrelevant. I think he knows exactly where he's going. That's why the "Do Not Contact" tag was used. Probably Miami with Jai Lucas.

 

[Black_Man_Panther]

My concern is my lack of confidence in Capel's ability to identify talent and reload.

I think he can identify decent guard play. History says as much. His issue is the big guys. And it s a big problem.

 

[DruidTM]

So… not April Fool’s?

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Capel’s issue will be the same as any coach who coaches either Bb or Fb at Pitt and that’s money . Player loyalty is out the window, it’s a business and the higher bidder is and always will be the winner . The only way this ends is two divisions one with no limits and one with a salary cap . We all know which one Pitt will be in .

Complain all you want too, but who amongst us wouldn’t jump at the chance to make substantially more money at work !

 

[PittPharm2002]

The current state of things makes me not even want to care anymore. The name on the front of the jersey means nothing to these players. Such a joke where we are now.

So players are acting like head coaches now ?

I don’t blame the kids at all. For many this will be the most money they ever make in their life. They are just taking advantage of the system others created.

So Pitt will pay coaching salaries that are near the top of their conference and very competitive nationally, but will cheap out on paying players? Why do you believe that to be the case?

 

[PittPharm2002]

Because boosters pay NIL, not the university.
And our boosters don’t give much

It’s that simple

I think all the evidence points that way .

Is Pitt in the conversation of any of the coveted portal players or 5* HS kids ?

The answer to your question depends on your definition of coveted.

By the standard you've set the vast majority of P4 schools don't have enough NIL budget yet they regularly outperform us on the court. Why is that?

I see on Twitter a lot of successful non power 4 players hitting the the portal. These are the type of players he will get, not power four transfers. This is nothing more than a hit or miss approach and he needs to be lucky enough to get enough hits to have a successful season.

Uhhh, maybe coaching matters?

 

[HailToPitt1985]

I recall not that long ago when our name was in the conversation of a lot of 5*, top 50 or top 100 players out of high school. We never landed any of them, but we were at least in the conversation. Now, no one talks about us at all. And we get the scraps from the portal.

The vast majority of the teams don’t have the money to compete at the elite level and I’m not sure your second statement is correct . Pitt had some decent wins and lost quite a few close winnable games .

Let’s see exactly who they sign and that will tell you a lot about where their NIL budget is .

Ninety nine percent of the people on here want a return to JD 1 days , all I’m saying is that Pitt doesn’t have the resources to do so and regardless of what they pay the HC he needs the necessary funds to acquire the talent needed to be the team we all want it to be . Plus no desirable HC is coming here without bountiful NIL kitty .

Capel is a sunk cost. Get a Wpial coach to replace him. More money to recruits. Don’t cross the Cummings fam.

The average fan who has coached in any capacity can run a better offense. We haven’t had a legit rebounder since Blair. Maybe Champagnie. Corhen/GDG could not box out.

I think DT would have gotten us into the top 50 teams. Julius page for sure. Brandon. For sure. A Duke guy that got lucky.

I saw it coming. We’re a pretty big market. It’s sad we couldn’t keep up

 

[Fsgolfdr]

It didn't seem to tell you anything last year. Why would this year be any different?

They signed two decent guys from the portal if I remember correctly ! They also added three freshmen who were unproven players at this level who added very little . I seriously doubt that they felt the freshman plus Cam and Dunn could replace the production of Bub and Blake .

I know you believe your knowledge far exceeds that of the coaching staff , but I believe they knew exactly what they needed and were unable to acquire the pieces they needed. (a shooter and rebounder) . They knew they lacked a three point threat and were hoping Amsal was part of the answer and that’s why they added him late . Unfortunately he wasn’t , a portal player with a track record would’ve helped . Maybe the lack of money had something to do with it !

There will not be many discounts from returning players since they basically need an entire roster and they need to find a stud or two and they don’t come cheap . If no studs are signed it means not enough moola and a season to forget .

I’m still entertained. He accuses SMF of not having the financial information but continues as if he knows it. He continues to outdo himself.

We all know Pitt isn’t a major player in the NIL game but without knowing details it’s impossible to know where most of the blame lies. Could be that Corhen and others were wildly misevaluated/overpaid or it could be strictly money. I’ve pointed it out at least twice before but he just keeps plowing along. It’s entertaining.

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

NIL wasn’t among the primary reason why we went from a single digit NET ranking to a barely above 500 team in 3 months.

You’re making my point exactly , nobody knows !

The only evidence that exists ( to us ) is twofold, one is the players on both the Bb and Fb rosters and the other is the results . Both tell you everything you need to know and that there’s not enough talent to compete which logically means that there’s not enough money to compete with the big boys .

You’re right Pitt grossly overpaid for a guy who in two yrs of college ball averaged less than 9 ppg and 4 rebounds . This is the same university who turned itself in to the NCAA to try and save a few bucks on KS buyout .

I find it amusing some of you believe it’s not money , coaching matters , but without talent no coach has ever made the HOF .

 

[PittPoker]

Yeah I mean Pitt was a good enough team to be a solid 7-10 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season. The problem again and again is the poor coaching and developing of big men from Capel and his staff. Plus imo Capel might be 1 of the worst X's and O's coaches in a P5 conference. He's terrible.

Yeah NIL is a big part now every season but Pitt makes the NCAA Tournament easily this past season if they had even a medicore head coach. Capel isn't mediocre, he is way below average.

We're all sure you definitely don't know, as evidenced by your "logic" above.

No one is saying that Pitt's NIL budget is at the top of the P4. But let's take a look at the results at Mississippi State, a team that beat the daylights out of us in every way imaginable last year. They, like us, have a fan base that donates much less than their peers in the P4. We're usually lumped in with them and a couple others schools at the bottom of the donation rankings.

Are you claiming that because their results were so much better than ours this year and they clearly had more talented, skilled, and prepared players on the court, that they are somehow pulling in significantly more NIL donations than Pitt, despite decades of evidence of a lack of financial support from their fan base?

I'm sure if someone gave Capel a billion dollars, he could bring in enough talent to win regularly, but I wouldn't assume that a national title is a given since we don't have enough roster slots to pull in the top 50 or so players each year and would still have to compete against teams with nearly equivalent talent. Would that satisfy you, or would you continue to argue that he needs even more money?

 

[HailToPitt1985]

It may be worse. We have the same head coach and staff.

The talent would be there with a lot of NIL money, but Capel is incapable of making that talent into a team that wins consistently and regularly. In 8 years, he has really developed maybe 2 or 3 players total. And he has zero clue about preparing them for games. The good coaches develop that many players in 1 year with enough money to buy them. Large amounts of NIL money do not necessarily translate into success on the court.

I mean right in this thread, in the very same post, he argues that no one has any idea how much money Pitt spent on NIL and that obviously Pitt doesn't have any money, and he can't see that those two things are clearly in conflict with each other. It's amusing watching him turn himself into a pretzel just so he can say that nothing is ever Jeff Capels fault, just like nothing was ever Kevin Stallings fault.

He'd actually be a great boss to work for, because there is no excuse he won't believe and no accountability for anyone, even people making millions.

Guess what , I ( and you ) have no idea what Miss St or Pitts NIL expenditures were . They were pretty bad this yr in Fb so maybe they went all in in hoops . They were certainly the better team .

Capel has brought in plenty of talent , just not enough . Bub , Blake , Justin Champ…. Nike …let’s not forget that JD was struggling to bring in enough talent his last five yrs here . Pitt isn’t the easiest school to recruit too in the ACC . JC has been in early on a lot of talented players before better programs came in and swooped them up . You can disagree, but I think this staff with enough talent could get the job done .

There will be outliners every year that excel with limited resources, but those programs better players will be siphoned off . The only way to have consistent excellence is to have the necessary resources to compete .

Money doesn’t guarantee championships , look at the Yankees or Red Sox’s , but I’d bet they’ll win a championship way before the Pirates.

Then explain to me with your vast base of knowledge how Pitt has all this money to acquire players and failed to add a shooter or rebounder from the portal . Why at the last minute they added an overseas player and forced him into the starting lineup who wasn’t ready . I’ll tell you why , because they knew they had serious holes in their lineup . With a decent rebounder and shooter they were a tournament team . You really believe JC and his staff who do know more Bb than you and your pal ( hard to believe ) didn’t know their teams weaknesses and just couldn’t get the players they needed . The clueless one my friend is you .

They paid good money to keep both Lowe and Leggett. They paid good money to bring in a starter from another P5 school, not withstanding the fact that he wasn't the answer to any of the team's questions. They paid at least decent money to bring in a guy who had started a level below the P5 and who was a contributor at a P5 the season before.

The problem wasn't that they didn't have any money to spend. The problem was they did a poor job evaluating what they had and what they needed, so they spent poorly.

But of course in your mind coaches never make mistakes and are never at fault for anything, hence your undying support for Mr. O-fer.

Just out of curiosity, do you ever hold anyone accountable for anything?

There you go telling me what I’m saying . I never said they didn’t pay Lowe or Ish whatever they needed too keep them here nor did I say they didn’t pay Cam to get him . I’m saying they didn’t have enough to pay to get a shooter and rebounder to fill out this team or a better big man .

You think that they felt Cam who averaged less than 4 rebounds per game in two yrs of college ball was going to come in here and dominate on the boards ? Or after watching and coaching the twins for 3 yrs they were going to turn into beasts on the boards ?
Maybe you believe they thought that Papa after a serious knee injury , who couldn’t beat out either twin for PT , was the answer ! For the record they finished 268th in rebounding!

After watching shooters like Blake , Elliot , Bub , Nike you think the staff was comfortable with Lowe and Ish as their perimeter threats ? Maybe you think they were putting all their eggs in the freshman Cummings basket , but they didn’t and added Amsal late because they knew they were desperately weak from 3 . They even started Amsal because they knew how weak they were from the perimeter and without that threat it made both Lowe and Ish’s game less effective. They benched him when it became obvious that he couldn’t adjust to the quickness of game over here . For the record they finished 145th from 3 !

To make it simple for you I believe they knew exactly where their weaknesses were but didn’t have the resources to pursue all the players they needed. While you believe that they are clueless.

So you think that they had enough money to bring in a P5 starter who wasn't a good rebounder, but you don't think that they had enough money to bring in someone who would have been a good rebounder? That's just you showing, once again, that you have no idea what so ever what you are talking about.

There absolutely were players out there to be had for less money than Cam Corhen who were better defenders/rebounder than him. There absolutely were players out there who were better shooters than Damian Dunn who could have been had for less money. That's just simply a fact. And you not being willing to acknowledge the facts don't mean that the facts aren't true. It means that you simply do not have a clue.

You are so invested in the completely weird notion that no coaches can or should ever be held accountable for things that go wrong with their team. And that is, quite frankly, kind of bizarre. It's as if you think that the Jeff Capels and Kevin Stallings of the world are completely incapable of making a mistake or misevaluating a player or a team. These guys aren't gods. Even if you want to make it out like they are.

I never said that the coaching staff doesn’t share some of the blame , but I think people like yourself feel that somehow Pitt is an elite athletic school that should be in contention for conference and national championships yearly . They’re not , they’re an institution that cares far more about academics than athletics. The history of the Fb and Bb programs has far more failures than success. . They’re a school whose struggled to fill the HC position when Howland left and when they fired KS . Why would a school have troubles filling such a desirable job ? It turns out that besides the pay it’s not an attractive job .

That being said neither one of us know what their resources are or who they really wanted and couldn’t afford . You continue to insist you know that they had enough resources and that it was poorly managed and I say BS . You don’t know , what I know is that the players on the roster proved they didn’t have enough .

There’s zero doubt Pitt doesn’t have the resources to compete at an elite level (elite 8s and better). But they sure can do a lot better than they have. The Pitt Job may not be as attractive as some of the higher profile SEC or Big Ten schools but it’s far from a shitty Job. They can, have and should do a lot better than what Capel has delivered

I agree that Pitt should be doing a little bit better and this year as disappointing as it was , was only one player away from potentially winning another 5/6 games . A solid rebounder or a prolific shooter was all that was needed . Both they might have made some noise . Why they couldn’t land that player , my take is they didn’t have the money .


Ps ..Lowe found greener pastures in Kentucky…money talks

No one has ever said that, and no one thinks that. And the fact that you have to continually set up strawmen like that in order to make your point not sound silly is telling.

And again, you keep saying that no one knows, but you also insist that you know that Pitt doesn't have enough. And you just can't get it through your head that those are two opposite things. If no one knows then you have no idea if Pitt had enough money to be better and they just spent it poorly. But you keep insisting that you do know. So which is it? Does no one know, or do you know that Pitt didn't have enough?

It is a fact that Pitt had the resources to be better. A simple fact. That you keep denying that in order to absolve the coach doesn't mean that Pitt didn't have the resources to be better. It just means that you are an apologist for the people who did their job poorly.

It is a fact that Pitt had the resources to be better. A simple fact. That you keep denying that in order to absolve the coach doesn't mean that Pitt didn't have the resources to be better. It just means that you are an apologist for the people who did their job poorly.

What don’t you understand ? If they had enough money they’d have had a better roster . It really is that simple . Is that so hard for you to understand .

Think Lowe is going to Kentucky for less money and that JC wanted his pg gone ?

What about Thiero did he accept less money to play in Arkansas and Thomas , who doesn’t want to ball in Arkansas!

Think the coach at St Johns before Pitino wished he had the players and NIL money Pitino has ?

Think Addison went to USC so he could surf ?

Think the players wearing Duke uniforms had Pitt uniforms instead Pitt wouldn’t be playing tonight ?

I’m not defending anyone I just live in reality . When Pitt starts bringing in players like Smith , Lane , Gore and Shorter then you’ll know they have the resources to excel , until then mediocre will be the norm with a chance every now and then to excel no matter who the HC is.

My god you have little to no reading comprehension abilities. He didn’t say excel. Not many if any have. He said they had the resources to do better.
