Yes.Pitts coach was KS does he win more games with those guys ?
He released them from their commitments and re recruited them . Both JK and CM were rated high enough that replacing them with higher rated recruits wasn’t likely .Those are completely different issues. KS took heat because he literally did nothing to recruit his first class, left a scholarship open, AND then pushed all those guys out the next year, while replacing them with absolute scrubs.
Capel has already recruited multiple players in his short time, including an impact grad transfer.
If Stallings would have added a player like N'Dir in his first class, we are probably capable (although Stallings would still be the coach) of being an NCAAT. Then, if he doesn't gut the 2016 class, we aren't taking guys like Kene and George in 2017. Stallings didn't keep Thompson, completely because of his doing. He doesn't get a pass for that.
To be clear, I would have given him his papers. And every aspect of his game needs to pick up.
But since he IS on the roster, I would not try to make him something that he is not and give him a another chance early to display the offensive attributes that got him a ride in the first place. This team is going nowhere next year. So I 'm looking to see how much, if any, he can contribute his last two years.
Those guys would've been too if they chucked up ridiculous 3 pointers for no reason. If chewie focuses on his inside game I think he could be a guy that plays 8 minutes a night and gives you solid defense and grabs rebounds. He's just not a scorer, he never will be, he needs to focus on the other parts of his game.Toree Morris, Gary McGhee, Yuri Demetris, John DeGroat and Dante Taylor were all players who played a role a lot like Kene Chukwuka. The funny thing is Kene is put down worst than the others I name!?!?!?
It was reported that he knocked down those shots in practice . Some guys are practice players and when the lights come on something changes . I gues we’ll see how the new staff uses him . I think it’s safe to say that he won’t be coming off the bench to knock down that crucial 3 at clutch time !Those guys would've been too if they chucked up ridiculous 3 pointers for no reason.

The only reason I don't see it ever happening for him is because in JC while he did shoot better from 3 (30.8% on 26 attempts), he still only averaged 3.0 PPG. Also 3.7 rebounds per game, and this was in only about 10 MPG.It was reported that he knocked down those shots in practice .

No offense but NONE of the guys you mentioned played roles even remotely resembling Chukwuka's.Toree Morris, Gary McGhee, Yuri Demetris, John DeGroat and Dante Taylor were all players who played a role a lot like Kene Chukwuka. The funny thing is Kene is put down worst than the others I name!?!?!?
Kene can develop into a serviceable player, but some of you are looking at his first season as the best he'll get!
One year at New Mexico JuCo and one at Pitt, he'll be a Junior this coming season. Capel and his staff will help him improve to be a good roll player we'll root for!Yeah, but part of the difference is that the first season at Pitt for most of the guys that are being mentioned was their first season in college. Last year was Chukwuka's third season in college. For many (perhaps most) players, the biggest jump they make in college is from their first season to their second. For Kene to make that jump now he'd be doing it from his third season to his fourth, or from his fourth to his fifth. That's not impossible or unheard of, but it is a lot less likely.
One year at New Mexico JuCo and one at Pitt, he'll be a Junior this coming season.
You can leave JUCO after one year if you were eligible to play D1 out of HS. If you were not eligible out of HS, then you must graduate from JUCO before transferring. Kene reclassified after one year of JUCO to come to Pitt and did not use a redshirt.TWO years at a juco (he wouldn't have been able to transfer here if it was only one year) and one year at Pitt. He will be a REDSHIRT junior this coming season.
And I'd be happy if he ever gets good enough to be a decent role player. But he also could use a little more weight on him, so if he were a better "roll player" that might help too!
