Lighting it up right now for Monmouth in their conference championship championship game .. I know it's not the same as the ACC .. But it's obvious the kid is a solid division 1 guard .. Why didn't he come here again ..? He's better then any guard on our roster ..

He went to Oklahoma & transferred to Monmouth.

So a kid who lit it up at coppin ST can't play in the ACC, but this kid putting up big numbers at Monmouth would be a lock to be better than jrob? Have we learned nothing? He is averaging 8'points per game and doesn't even start. Chris picked a bad time to put a moratorium on name calling. :p

Watching the Monmouth Iona game too and had similar thoughts!

You mean to tell me you too saw a guy averaging 8 points per game in a low major conference, doesn't start for his team, and likewise thought he would be the best guard on our team?
 
Love Monmouths bench guys! Robinson shoots a long 3 and the bench does the race car formation! LOL!
The PITT bench should do that stuff!
 
I didn't mean point guard .. I meant 2 guard .. And smith was always just a shooter ever at Coppin state .. Hornbeak is a solid all around guard

Yeah, so much so that he sucked at high d1 before, and sucks still at a low major. He is exactly what we need.
 
He doesn't suck .. He's better than any 2 guard we have .. Name a guard on our Roster that can create his own shot and shoot almost 40% from three .. Like I said .. Lol you don't have to come on here acting like you're a basketball God .. We can agree to disagree .. Relax my man

He does suck. Bad. If he doesn't suck, why doesn't he start for a low mid major? Why does he average 8 p.p.g.? Why does he have more than two turnovers per game, and recent games of 4 and 5 for a game against crap talent? Why did he leave Oklahoma? I am not acting like anything, knock off that silly kind of talk. This kid stinks. If he was on our team, Dixon would be hated even more for taking him. He is not better than any guard on our team. He is worse. Much worse. He isn't even better than the guards on his team. Stick to facts instead of silly acting like god comments. Look at his total stats, and individual game stats. He stinks.

I haven't seen this kid play, but there is a difference between creating your own shot in the ACC and doing it in a low major conference.
 
Yea sterling smith is so much better then him , he's made 2 shots in the last month and a half for us I forgot how solid he was
Another non value added statement. Why can't you stick with facts? If this guy is scoring 8 p.p.g. Against some of the lowest talent out there, and is turning it over 4 or 5 times per game against guys marginally D1 players, what would he do in the ACC. Do you understand you are using Smith not being able to translate better numbers at a low major to the ACC, and picking a players whose numbers are WORSE than Smith's were at a low major, and saying he would be the best on our team. If he can't start for Monmouth and averages 8 per game, what does he average in the ACC? 2? Yeah, about what he was doing at Oklahoma. If you want to lust for other players, fine, but at least pick guys who are good.

And on a Sidenote .. AJ English from Iona would be the best overall player on our team right now and it wouldn't be close
Fail in one argument, try to divert to another, no thanks. Not playing. You have an unlimited supply of players to pick, and I don't have the weeks it would take to evaluate every D1 player and their merits for playing for Pitt, when there is no shot of that happening.
 
One thing I notice is all these players look "jacked up " interested in the game.
At times like the last two games Pitt looks like they don't want to be on the court.
Maybe we'll get interested Wednesday.
 
You said Hornbeak wasn't better than anybody on our roster and in my eyes he's better than sterling smith and would add more to our team
I am correct. He is worse. Much worse. I have proven such through stats. You have proven nothing through ad hominem insults and non sequiturs. He stinks on his own team. How does he move up a couple levels and play better at the ACC level. If defies all logic.
 
You must be really angry inside the way you are talking like you're trying to compete with what I said .. You don't have to try and belittle me bud .. I had an opinion and we can agree to disagree like I said .. We're both Pitt Fans at the end of the day

I have not tried to belittle you at all. You said I am acting like god. My posts attack the player, not you. You chose to attack me and not my opinion. He is worse. That doesn't make you a bad person at all for suggesting he is better, and does not make me bad saying he is worse. But he is worse. If you point out specifically where I insulted you, I will apologize, but I have kept my analysis focused on the player, not you.

He was suspended earlier this year. If you added him to this Pitt team, it might be a toxic mixture to the team's chemistry.
