Ok thx...
Unless you're for sure getting better players to replace them... I don't have any issue with keeping both for next year. Although at this point I think Nix is more valuable than Milligan.
Go Pitt...
Next Years Roster?
- Thread starter gary2
- Start date

Exactly - there should be no guaranteed spots. If anyone on the current roster is not going all out in practice and the games, then they should be shown the door. The off-season workouts should push them to their limits. Those who stay, will play.
Both are in their third year. Are they in position to graduate? And they are from a bare cupboard.....not ACC quality. Or so we're told.
Well I listened to Stalling's radio show tonight. He said he and Coach Richardson were away all day yesterday pursuing a recruit.
It seems like this coach has the energy and (unlike some others) believes it is a good idea to actually see who you are recruiting. He makes the time to do that in season (imagine that) or not. I think that energy and thinking make it less likely we end up with a bunch of Haughton's, Doorsen's, etc.
Stallings skipped the Dapper Dan banquet to see the recruit. How can there be any doubt that Stallings is both serious and dedicated when it comes to winning at Pitt?

You mean, like someone with offers from Bethune ?
I don't doubt he intends to succeed, I do doubt his track record of actually having success.
I was just describing the difference between a coach going all out to win and a coach who had burned out.
Only 3-10 in conference & 13th in the ACC...
But ya what team would Luther or Cam transfer to that would be better than Pitt?
Idk tho, depends how next year's season at Pitt goes.
Hopefully he is scouring Africa and Europe for dudes that can't speak English, but are 7 foot or can knock down 3s in their sleep, or checking to see what troubled ballers are being paroled from prison in time for next season to create some fake transcripts for them to do what you should do, WIN AT ANY COST.
But honestly, if I was them, why transfer to somewhere where you might sit? I'd rather play every minute for a bad team rather than ride the pine for a good one. In my youth I experienced both and always PLAY>SIT.
Especially when you can play & start for a team in the ACC.
Pretty sweet & you get looks by NBA Scouts all the time if your good.
Richardson going might indicate the recruit was around Chicago, I know we are at least evaluating Mark Smith a 6-5 guard from Illinois. Smith is a late bloomer that majors have started to pursue.

If that happens, it could get scary. But we already knew next year was going to be scary in a bad way.
Next year is all about the following year . Get them on the court see who can play and who can't .
You also described the difference between a coach who won plenty of games and was a regular in the big dance... vs one who won't sniff the round of 64 for 6-8 years in a row.
Sure. Ever hear of scary good? Meaning so good, that the opposition is scared?
I don't know.
But much like he's confused by Stallings own failures to win , he seems to think pharmacist recommend non-medications.
Supplements are the equivalent of Stallings, at best you're wasting your money and at worst can cause a lot of damage to your health.
I'm not sure that applies to the current iteration of our Pitt Panthers though.
Have you seen his Video ? He is Very Good. Did not Robinson start as a Freshman for Dixon ?
Gary ... if I was a betting man (and I'm not), I guess the following probabilities on the number of recruits for next year ...
6 (standing pat with what we have) - 23%
7 (one more) - 60%
8 - 10%
9 - 5%
10 - 1+ %
11 - less than 1%
At this point, one guy won't be here next year and my belief is that will be Clark.
Sean Miller did too...As did Vonteego Cummings....I'm sure I can come up with more....
To get to 7 (one more) - 60% - Someone (beside Clark) will have to go
I think we take 2 more for sure - A big and a 2G.
I think with the way the season has gone, it could be more.
Nix and Milligan are the safest - If they want to stay, they will only be replaced by grad transfers as we need ships to give in 2018.
I would be shocked if we only brought in 7. I feel it will be at least 8. Likely 9.
If the administration allows it and things fall right, I would not be shocked to see 11.
It will not be all that long until this question is answered.
Some have even started to try to scare everyone with talk of Ryan and Cam grad transferring. I certainly would not want to see that, but even if it happens, I doubt it would mean all that much for next season. Both are good players to have but neither is a difference maker.

We'll hold you to your same standards. When MacVittie doesn't stink, like you've repeatedly claimed, hopefully you'll just stop posting.
I think we bring in 2 more guys. IMO the following guys are on our roster.
Nix
Luther
Johnson
Wilson Frame
Manigault
Kithcart
Carr
Thompson
Peace
Stevenson
Brown
Nix
Luther
Johnson
Wilson Frame
Manigault
Kithcart
Carr
Thompson
Peace
Stevenson
Brown
If I was betting, (and I'm not), I think we will bring in one more guy and Wilson will be here next year, along with those you mentioned.
Revision 1 (Updated)
I know Pitt will not clear all returning players but Ryan and Cam, but I would.
This is how it would look:
C - Luther
PF - JCT - Thornton or B.Stevens or J.Rodriquez or ?
SF - C.Johnson
2G - JC - Wilson-Frame
PG - Fr - M.Carr
C - Fr - P.LLegomah
PF - Fr -T.Brown
SF - Fr - S.Stevenson
2G - JC - T.Simons
PG - Fr - A.Thompson
C - JCT or Fr -Haslem or D.Lake or Ondigo or ? (B.Fakirri)
XTRA - Grad Transf (does not need to be great) - Position based on best available
XTRA - Grad Transf (does not need to be great) - Position based on best available
(If no decent grad transfers are available - Keep Nix and Milligan - need available ships)
2 Grad Transfs (or Seniors) + Luther = 3 scholarships to give in 2018.(probably another thru 2017 attrition)
