My instincts tell me that Pickett and McClung were swayed by playing time. Not a guarantee per se, but an expectation. I think that Mac will be given the reigns day one and any PG that we get will play behind him. Unless, we land an absolute stud.

my instinct is that I trust the guy who helped make Kemba a star in the NBA to know a thing or two about the importance of PGs and which ones to target in recruiting. TTS.

Whoever said they didn't trust Ewing and was he responsible for getting Kemba? Don't get it twisted. Just because my name isn't Ewing doesn't mean I don't know what the Hoyas have been missing for years. We've already been through this in not getting what we need when JT3 was here. This caused a lot of inconsistencies and losses we should've won. |

He says he wants a combo type, let's wait & see how it plays out on the court.. What a JT3 team needed may not be the same as what a PE team needs.. |

Whatever role Dickerson played versus Butler is what we need.

No reason why a talented new point guard could not play alongside Maclung for portions of a game. Minutes are there for everyone that can earn them.

Whatever role Dickerson played versus Butler is what we need. For a team that is trying to get out and run in transition more they really need a few more solid decision makers, whether they be point guards or combo guards some players just function better in the open court. They have improved significantly in getting everyone running and trying to push the pace when possible, but they still struggle making that final pass/shot decision sometimes. The ability to read the play and make the right decision is not something everyone has and while Dickerson was great against Butler, he still struggles sometimes making the correct decision in transition. They are better as a team than they were last year but I am sure Coach Ewing still sees lots of room for improvement. Converting those transition opportunities into points is really important because scoring in the half court is so hard for everyone in the Big East. |

Even if Mac is featured at the point next year, I don't doubt for a second that he'd love to play some minutes off the ball if someone capable can handle it. Mac isn't a one trick pony. He can score in a variety of ways. Some of those skills are better deployed against certain teams and defenses off the ball for portions of the game, particularly against teams that press a lot. It gives the player a chance for a few easier minutes while on the court and puts a capable scorer in a position to make an overly aggressive defense PAY for pressing the ball. Also, good players LIKE playing with good players. He won't be intimidated by us recruiting another good ball handler.

This caused a lot of inconsistencies and losses we should've won. your entire argument for recruiting a guy that Ewing isn't really recruiting is that the team is missing a "floor general" and that's the problem. Let's let Ewing actually recruit a single freshman guard of any type before we decide whether or not he knows what the hoyas need or not. Ewing's not JT3. Ewing was the primary coach working with Kemba in Charlotte. He knows point guards. He knows what he's looking for in a PG. I trust him. |

I did my own research and posted a possible recruit that's all. I didn't say Ewing didn't know what and who to look at as a point guard. I've said many times I like what he's doing. READ!!! People that know me know I've coached and talk about point guard play all the time and how critical this position is. I never said I didn't trust him. I just put one in our back yard out there simply because we haven't been going after kids in our own back yard. Got it now??? Ask, don't assume!!! I do like the kid he's recruiting from PVI for 2019 though. JT3, although it was too late finally figured this out and recuited Waters. Has Charlotte won something??? LOL. I don't know why you threw that in there. Some of these kids I've posted are Walkerish as well. |

Have the ability to be Walkerish is what I'm saying. Their games are similar. Pls understand. You're the same dude that said this about Kris Jenkins on Jan 25, 2012 at 6:33pm It is much ado about nothing. He is a good player but he is a mid major player or in a system where they can cover for him playing the 3. He is 6'5. I don't really see him slimming down enough to be a guard. I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't end up on Rutgers or in the A-10, and have a really good career. But at the level we are trying to get to, he wouldn't play that much. And he isn't a score inside guy at the next level like that. He is smaller than everyone mentioned that people are comparing him too. You're not credible dude! lol... |

My critique was off a little but not much. Villanova did cover for him defensively. he wasnt a good defender and dude slimmed alot. He on Georgetown wouldn't have made a difference at all record wise. Look i know you have your agenda you are trying to put on us. But you saying what has Walker won in the NBA in terms of talent is a silly thing. there are great players on losing teams on the NBA because of how the league is now that is even exacerbated. |

Also again on you saying i am not credible because of Jenkins. He hit a great shot but look at his career numbers. especially as a senior. he shot 38.7 FG% not from 3 thats overall. never averaged over 14 a game. Didnt even average double figures till a junior. Lets not do revisionist history that he was some all league talent, dude could get shoot and get hot and he did.

"Markquis was all heart. He succeeded. He flourished. In his final 42 games at Little Rock, he scored 687 points, averaging 16.7 points and shooting 40% from the floor, including 38% from 3-point range. He averaged double-digit points in all three seasons at Little Rock, including 17.5 points per game as a sophomore in 2019-20, in which he earned Lou Henson All-America and First Team All-Sun Belt honors while helping the Trojans to a 21-win season. Marcus e-mailed Division I coaches across the country. He knew of K-State assistant coach Shane Southwell from his days at Rice High School. He phoned Southwell. Georgetown head coach Patrick Ewing replied as well. Ewing said that he was considering Markquis but couldn't guarantee anything. Southwell believed that Markquis could backup point guard Nijel Pack at K-State." www.kstatesports.com/news/2023/2/27/sports-extra-through-ups-and-downs-marcus-is-always-there.aspx |
