:roll:

It would have been nice this year if we had just one more PG but we looked pretty good there to start the season. Things can change in a hurry. If no bowen, then a PG and a bigman would be nice to get.

Ok, since it is apparent you haven't you haven't ever really played the game, let my try to put this in terms that you might understand. You and a couple buddies want to have a nice, party with some really great looking girls. You invite 10 very attractive girls thinking that with your looks you will be lucky to have 4 accept but lo and behold 5 accept right off the bat. You say great and make your plans based you, your two friends and 5 knockouts. Several days before the party another very attractive girl calls and says a prior commitment has been canceled and is the invitation still open. Do you say yes? Of course you do. You can never have too many good lookers, right? Does that mean the others aren't good looking?

My guess is Jaysker's point is that with other CLEAR needs, recruiting another PG when he have three enrolled for next year, isn't the biggest vote of confidence.

In mredle's scenario, if you have 10 hot girls invited to the party but have no entertainment or food for said party, do you invite two additional hotties or get Jay Z to perform, with Wolfgang Puck to cater? Those two hotties, among the many other hotties already RSVP'd, get the boot. Seems smarter, unless you really didn't find those 10 girls all that hot. Of course, if the only options for entertainment and food are Nickelback and Arby's, maybe you create your own entertainment and don't have food, so those other two hotties can make it. Or maybe awful rock music and Big Montanas are better than nothing given that a party NEEDS entertainment/food, even if substandard, instead of two hotties added to the other hotties you already have.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Not sure this link tells us much other than that they think we can't recruit Tremont, is that your opinion as well hilltop?

wouldn't he have the clearest path to playing time at Syracuse? John Gillon was the starting PG, but he has graduated, right? Who was the backup.

At KU - Graham is back, and Newman can also play point
Uconn - Jaylen Adams is the incumbent, Gilbert as back-up?

Doesn't make sense that CU is in the picture, but maybe he saw how a smaller PG can thrive in the #letifly system and that's the attraction.

He stated that we told him he could run the system like Watson did. That has to be appealing, they both have similar skill sets but supposedly Waters can shoot better.
