Welcome Primo! Excited to see what he brings.
Had the 4th highest scoring game (34) of all D-I freshmen this season.

The obvious difference being Kaiden Rice had four years of college experience before transferring here and was a known commodity, while Spears was a freshman on a terrible Duquesne squad. Trust the film when it comes to freshmen. A kid dropping thirty burgers in the A10 is absolutely someone an 0-20 team can and should take and fit in their rotation. Rice's previous experience Again, I'm not knocking Spears at all. The game posted I liked what I saw. Im not knocking the kid but I’m knocking the kid

Trust the film when it comes to freshmen. A kid dropping thirty burgers in the A10 is absolutely someone an 0-20 team can and should take and fit in their rotation. Rice's previous experience doesn't change the fact that posters felt his 32% shooting was due to his being asked to do more because his team wasn't very good... Again, I'm not knocking Spears at all. The game posted I liked what I saw. Etomic Rice just transferred from one bad team to another when he came to GTown last year. As of right now we don't know if Primo did the same and we won't know for a few weeks. If we add Tyrell and 2 decent PFs we will be cooking...imo

Welcome to the Hilltop Primo!!
Should be a good pairing to go with Dante but can also play off ball for when our wings are attacking. Love that Patrick mentioned his defense, you need a good defensive guard to set the tone on the ball every possession. We saw what Patrick wants from his PG on D during the BET run...hopefully with both Dante and Primo, we can get 40 minutes of that high pressure on the ball.

Congratulations to Primo. Another guy, along w Akok, who didn’t get nearly enough love in the transfer ratings.

It would be news if anyone declares that they are not entering the portal.

I can't see Primo picked up by anything but a team desperate for buckets and will play him off ball while not caring about defense. So, basically a team trying to get out of the basement. This year (and his freshman year) showed he so far doesn't play well with others, which doesn't mean he can't change, but needs to find a spot with a coach that is fine with that and doesn't need what he doesn't have yet.

It would be news if anyone declares that they are not entering the portal. I completely agree that every player on the team with any eligibility left should enter the portal. If any of the players, even the ones that do enter the portal, decide they like the new coach and staff, they can always come back, but at this point they should keep their options open. When ever there is a coaching change the NCAA pretty much always gives the players a "free" transfer, so why not keep that flexibility. I would expect an almost entirely new team for the Hoyas next year.

Primo has talent - properly coached/reigned in, he could be a good player for somebody. However, it's getting pretty late in the game for him to get good coaching. He's going to be playing at age 22 next season, but it will be critical to him to find the right coach/program if he expects to make decent money playing professionally at some point.
Did anybody on the board go to his birthday bash in Hartford Saturday night?
