This thread has become unbelievably depressing. The last two names in this thread? Are you serious?
Kingsby: Appears to have not even started for his Juco team (http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2017-18/div1/players/danyakingsbysncg). To put his 13.3 points per game in context, his team averaged 100.8 points per game.
Willis: Where to even begin, he came off the bench to play 18.5 minutes a game for a 12-20 Vanderbilt team. He shot 34.8%! from the field and 65.7% from the line. Pitino is considering giving up the use of a scholarship for the 2018 season to wait a year for a kid who was not effective at Vanderbilt?
This is Limar Wilson, Engen Nurumbi, Maverick Ahanmisi, Chip Armelin type stuff.
I can see some of your concerns. That said, I believe we have 3 scholarships to hand out, if we so choose. We are not going to land 3 5 star players or 3 4 star players. I would hope we can land one impact player. I am fine with tossing out a scholarship to a player with decent experience but lots of upside. We have some flexibility given we have 3 openings and a decent returning roster. We absolutely need a guard, but after that, we can take a risk if needed.
