That’s sad
I’m glad he got to spend extra time with him
I’m glad he got to spend extra time with him
I haven’t seen any information on what happened. Whether it was something sudden or cancer or what. Does anyone know what he passed away from? God bless Parker Stewart and his family. That young man has had a few turbulent years and I am glad to see he had a chance to play for his father.
He was an awesome Panther during a rough time. Understood his desire to play for his dad and especially happy he made the move now.
Would love to get him back but doubt we can swing it unless he’s willing to take out a loan for a semester. Seems odd he’s not just going overseas he has his master’s
Seems possible someone like Drumgoole or someone else could leave at the semester break opening up a scholarship. Stewart seems like a shy, awkward kid who doesn't take well to new situations. Well, he already has a brief relationship with Capel and it was positive from what was said.
I am rooting for him no matter where he goes. I would welcome him back if he wants to be here.
Stewart got a lot of criticism on this board. I felt he had no
floor game despite being an excellent shooter. Good move
for him...different level, different results. BTW, Ellison
transferred to Hartford and averaged 18ppg, once again
different level.
Stewart is also an excellent student....he got his BA in TWO
years. He got his Masters this fall, and still has eligibility this
year. This is actually even more impressive than players like
Peterson who graduated in three years (redshirt included),
came to Pitt and played two years and earned an MBA.
Stewart left Pitt, and made the most of his situation. I
wish him the best, and condolences to him in the recent
loss of his father.

He lead the team in rebounding. He's a solid ACC-level player and would immediately be one of the best players on the team. I highly doubt he'd come back but would be cool if he did.
I only can go by what I saw when he was here. He definitely could
rebound, and he could outshoot anyone on our team now.
He averaged 19 ppg last year at Tennessee Martin. Ellison also
left and he averaged 18 ppg at Hartford. Do you feel they're
both ACC level?
While you're at it...how about Horton? He did the opposite.
He moved up to the ACC level. What's your guess on how he
does here?
I do feel Ellison is an ACC level reserve. I said that at the time. I actually kinda liked him from a reserve standpoint. He just wasnt what he was billed to be. Haven't seen enough of Horton
Good point, but the comparison isn't so far off that
it's apples to oranges. Anyway, I think you know what
I was suggesting.
For the record, he shot 41% last year, 35% on 3's; he had almost 4 ast/game and a little over 3 to/game.
As painful as that season was, you can see that Carr and Stewart were going to develop into really good players once they had better talent around them. It would have been great to see them stay, but the flip side is that would have meant another year of Stallings.
Hate to say this but if all were still here: Carr, Stewart, and Golden + maybe a few other randos and that team would be better than this team.
I often wonder how hard Capel recruited them to stay or if he wanted to completely start over with his own guys? It was pretty clear both had talent. I can't understand why you wouldn't do everything possible to convince skilled returning sophomores to remain when the cupboard was so bare. Stewart, given his timid personality, I can understand wanting to play with his dad, but we'd be miles ahead with Carr and McGowens at this juncture. That's presuming Capel didn't promise Trey an opportunity to compete for the PG role during his recruitment.
Vader: I looked at the stats and prorated Horton's QBR+V rating from his 3 shot attempts a game and the 12 minutes he has played and found him to be a 88.7 net positive player over Parker Stewart. So Pitt is much better off with Horton than Stewart according to the indexes I used.
He shot 35% on 3's last year, playing in the Ohio Valley Conference. I would not call that a great shooter.
Isn't any great shooter the focal point of a defense? And wouldn't he be the same focal point at Pitt?
Revisionism and hypotheticals make for great fodder for the contrarians. Impossible to either refute or prove things that can’t/won’t ever really happen. The old ”what if” game. All meaningless in the context of “what is”.
No. He's draw the other team's worst perimeter defender as they'd focus on Johnson and Toney
Every team that Pitt faces will be playing a zone defense. In any case, why would a team not focus on Stewart if he was the best shooter? You can make up whatever scenarios you like, but my point is that a great shooter would not shoot 35% on 3’s in that conference, regardless of the defense.
38.6% as a true freshman in the ACC while playing on an 0-18 team. Maybe great was a bit of a stretch, but he was a very good 3 point shooter his freshman year here. He would undoubtedly be our biggest threat from the beyond the arc if added to this year’s squad.
Being they where gone the second KS was canned your right . Pitt traded KS +MC +PS and RL for JC +X and Trey . Good trade but wished Carr and PS had stuck around .
X and Trey were much better than Carr and Stewart as FR but neither improved while Carr has improved immensely to the point of being All-Big Ten caliber. Stewart, its hard to say given the low level he plays at. Like right now there's no question that Carr is better than Johnson.
How many more reasons can you come up with for his shooting to decline? Maybe his girlfriend dumped him, too. The numbers are what they are, and that is all we have to evaluate him. He is a good shooter, no doubt.
