Lets see what happens ... if he doesn't go to the NBA, Duke, Kentucky, etc. it's because he wasn't that good ... if he goes to any of those schools and he doesn't get drafted in the NBA, he wasn't hat good ... don't make this so hard!
Let's assume you're right:
Freshman year: who starts before him?
Sophomore year: who starts before him?
Junior year: who starts before hime?
Why is Gabe the whipping boy?
Just stop the BS and say "I don't like him because he pissed in my Fruit Loops".
My guess is Gabe leaves MN ... MN is...
They will watch the games. The tape is easily available. If they want to blame his teammates for not finishing (like so many on this board do), they can and if they see his style of play bad for teammates (like so many on this board do) they will make that decision. Lots of opinions, but the...
Very good points ... I can’t think of one shooter improving under Pitino. All shot worse.
Johnson played (Pitino didn’t) ... Johnson was a shooter (Pitino only complained about shooting).

Ben can fix that day 1.
Now for the X’s and O’s ... Ben really can not be worse. Build the Defense first and we can be competitive...

I wouldn't assume it's an exodus ... the player landscape has changed a lot in college basketball ... with a Coaching change, it's an opportunity for the player to be "re-recruited" ... why not have the new coach convince you to stay and at the same time, see what other schools are offering...
There are actually coaches that work with their guys on basketball skills. I don't recall Pitino mentioning that about shooting at anytime over the past 8 years. He never really played, so probably doesn't have much to offer.
No one has improved as a shooter with Pitino as the coach. There are...
