He still has a lot he could improve on at the college level. Couple big things would be being able to have a full offseason with the strength staff and adding muscle as well as improving quickness/agility so he can better guard ball screens.
No.
I think he is down the list a ways as far as wing priorities go for the Gophers as well. Heide, DWS, and Carrington all seem like higher priorities and that could be because of the feel they've gotten back from Prince too I don't know.
The off-campus dome was a big mistake. Plus, poor design and built on the cheap. We know better by now.
Thank you.
Neither he or Carr are likely 1st round picks. Doesn't mean they can't go anyway, but we tend to over-estimate their draft stock.
I don’t check them often but I’ve yet to see Carr listed on any mock draft even in the 2nd round.
See Carr between 44 and 75 on various mock drafts.
Yeah you're right you dont check them often
I just looked at 4 different ones and he’s not in any of them.
It hasn't really seemed to matter in the past how well the gophers have done and what its meant for incoming recruits. We could have been stacked like crazy in years past with any of the in state guys joining Mason, Murphy, Coffey, Oturu, Hollins', etc. over the last half decade +
Taken off of nba draft net, and moved to 2022 draft prospects on espn. Looks like he'll be back unless Gophers make a big tourney run. Liam more likely to leave right now
Yep, I've said it before...Pitino's problem isn't recruiting. Transfers, high school, whatever. He has flaws elsewhere, but recruiting is fine in my opinion.
Well of course but we can't really expect him to bring in 4 top 50 players every year. I mean some will say that's a settling comment and I'm not a true fan and blah blah blah but reality is it won't happen. Outside of his first few classes Pitino has brought in multiple 4 star guys as well as 3 star guys like Mason, Murphy, McBrayer that were very good contributors. He's brought in good transfers especially recently.
I guess that most fans would exchange the number of times he's landed highly-rated recruits/transfers for more wins ..... if that were a thing that was possible. But who knows if it is, for him.
Agree with all these points. I really like listening to Pitino talk. I like his pressers and his insight into his opponents and his own team. Just talking about their sports I'd listen to Pitino talk 100 out of 100 times over Fleck. This year may help some...may give him some more confidence in his game planning and scouting. If he can improve in getting his guys to make in game adjustments or fight back when they hit a bump I think he could have some long term success here.
Your Pitino man-crush is stronger than your Fleck man-crush. Hmmmm...must be the hair.
Well, I'm unfollowing him.
Listening to Fleck SPEAK is awesome. Listening to Fleck talk football is annoying. I want to know about the upcoming game, or past game. I don't want to hear rambled on sentences about culture and spiritual BS when we're ready to play Wisconsin. I want to know what we're going to do to beat them on the field. What football wise is working and what isn't. What we're seeing from players and how practice is going etc.
Chet does not shy away from pressure. Besides , there is very low pressure here. Gopher hoops is not the top dog. There is like 2 beat writers.And Gonzaga is a national brand.
Yes, and Spokane is a nice place to go to school. We have heard the sales pitch before..... lol...
