I'm very disappointed in how we fell apart at the end of the year. I expected the tourney. However, I give Forbes credit that we have confidence that we will keep our best players, and improve through the portal.
Sure, would be better to have him than not.
yea that was kinda weird
I think we need to run a few more people out there. But that line would also be a ringing indicment of Hall of Fame coaches like Boeheim and Coach K.
Feels unfair to Forbes, who reasonably planned on a 8-9 man rotation with Monsanto, Ituka, PFred, and Marsh coming off the bench. Not his fault what happened to the first two guys, and PFred was a resounding success this season. There's even room to stretch that a bit further with Keller/MMM in spots.
The same thing that WF and Florida thought when he was offered. Solid combo guard that can play both ends. McCray is 6-4 185 (and will be closer to 200 by next season. He can handle (played PG at JV) and can shoot 35% from three and 72% from the line. He also rebounds well for a guard. Depends on the team, and their needs but McCray has upside. Happy to revisit this in two years when his college ball is over.
I mean what did you want him to do?
I guess that's a fine take and maybe I'm too trusting of coaches' decision making, but I assume if Clark could have provided value he would have gotten more than basically 0 minutes in meaningful situations this season like he did. I think it's fair for us to assume that his lack of playing time means that he was way behind the other guys.
yea i guess it was just pretty clear to those of us who have watched forbes teams play that our guards were gonna burn out down the stretch. happens every year. i don't know why he's wasting scholarships on guys who can't get minutes at Wake, either, but that's a question for the recruiting thread. but, you're right, i overstated the point - he did let our big guys get minutes and they didn't exactly set the world on fire (even tho i'm higher on MMM and Keller than most on here, I think?)
I agree that if he's just going to bench guys like Taylor/McCray/Clark and let them transfer than we might as well use the scholarship a different way. And I also agree that it would be good for someone like Clark to get some real minutes in November to see if he can have some value later, but in the NET era that's kind of hard to make happen if he's clearly a worse player in practice.
I'm way less forgiving of bringing in a transfer that isn't even good enough to see the floor than I am of doing it with a freshman.
Would we have known how good Kilntman was if Damari hadn’t gotten injured?
