Question is, does staff pull the trigger now a guard or do they wait to see who else comes available later in the spring??? I hope they're not looking to wait 4 months from now to finish the 2018 class, come April I'd like to see the staff's full attention to be on the 2019 & 20 classes.. Agreed. If someone fantastic does happen to become available in April, then we can figure out how to make it work, but waiting on April risks leaving the cupboard empty.

We definitely need another guard and Pinson looks good. I hope we get him.

Yaboy - are we his best offer? I remember seeing just a bunch of mid majors at one point.

Hopefully being his first major D1 offer will mean something. Get him on campus quick Pat!Think it's clear to anyone who's watched the Hoyas this year we need guards and we need em quick!

I just like the fact that we were his first major offer. College coaches are a strange breed sometimes when it comes to being the first school to offer a player and I like that we didn’t care because we trust our eyes as a staff.

Pinson is an absolute take for me. Sees the floor very well, has good length, and plus athleticism. Like Yaboy said, get him in the weight room for a year and he could be a key cog in getting us back to the top of the Big East. Can't teach that skill and feel for the game

Nice finger role.
So why hasn’t he had HM’s on him? Not like he’s playing in obscurity.

I will take undersized players with skill all day long. Folks get caught up on measurements to a fault.

Yaboy can you find and post some game footage on Xavier Pinson?

Is Starks the last true PG that played for us? So many years ago.

I like the clips of Pinson and he seems to have potential. But, word of caution, he’s not starting as a senior on his HS team (albeit a good one). He’s very slim and not a very accomplished shooter. Seems like a kid who should do a POstgrad year.
