Pitt players are 100 behind Stallings

They start 5 freshman, you are an idiot
I agree with you. He is an idiot. I am so sick of reading about these so called experts on this board knocking these guys and the coach. These five freshman were all in HS a year ago and didn't even know each existed. Now they're thrust into ACC play and some on this board feel as though they should be making the impact of a veteran team. It gets tiring after a while.

Who did I knock?

I’ll help you out - nobody.
 
Didn't say you did. All I said was I agree with TD.

Ok I’ll bite. Why am I an idiot then? I didn’t do any of what you ranted about. All I said was effort isn’t something to celebrate. I’d expect efffort from a grade school team.

And for what it’s worth I haven’t knocked any of the players at all. Not a fan of Stallings but I’ve been consistent in saying even tho I’m not optimistic he deserves a chance.

The kids give everything they have, although you can tell they aren't experienced and they aren't coached very well. I can only imagine how they'd play if they had a decent coach. One can hope because these kids deserve that chance someday.

All right, King. Let's just go on and hope the effort continues but I do stand by the fact that these guys are freshman still feeling their way. Peace.
 
Wasn’t The poor effort a legit call out last year? It certainly was and should have been.

Now there is solid effort and no one wants to give credit.

That’s the point. Everyone wants to point out flaws which there are many. But we don’t want to acknowledge anything.

Just my opinion that effort shouldn’t be lauded. That should be a given whether you play for Duke or CCAC. It’s the lowest bar possible other than I guess showing up.

And as I said above the call out last year was legit. It did appear there was plenty of loafing and selfishness. I don’t know how Stallings handled it. But I heard Donovan Mitchell the other day. He admitted to quitting in a game where Ville was getting smoked. Said it was the only time in his life he gave up. At practice Pitino sent him to the tread mills and ran him near to death. Not jogging - running. He said the trainer had to attend to adjust the speed so they wouldn’t drop over.
