Castle always sounded like he was a 1yr guy, and Clingan & Karaban had already won, but... that 2nd title definitely helped flush out some high-level talent.
They've got plenty of guys in-house & on the way, but losing Newton, Spencer, Clingan, Karaban, and Castle in one offseason is gonna knock anybody back a few rungs.
That BE top 3 comes back to the pack in a big way next year.

Re Boogie Fland I guess Cooley either was too far down road with Mack and for whatever reason is protective of EPPS. Having seen them all play Boogie Fland would be my clear choice. Not sure what his attitude toward Gtwn is as I don't think Cooley went after him earlier either. I know his coach pretty well so will ask him his take.

Sometimes you just have to 'love the one you're with.' It is not too bad when that player is thought by some to be the #1 PG in the portal. |

Listening to this clip reinforces my thoughts that the concept of relying on players who "create" for others is old-school basketball.

You are probably right, not realistic to change given both the low prob of BF coming to Gtwn and advanced stage we were at with Mack.
Having seen both Mack and BF up close I'd say there is a decent talent gap, though I do think Mack is a good add. Obviously, there's always a hs vs college gap in judging perf, though I did see BF light up other P5 recruits. BF replaced RJ Davis as his team's PG when Davis graduated--at the HS level BF was more talented (by a little).

Decent replacement for Bediako Decent might be generous. But Shaheen makes chicken salad out of chicken sh*t so who am I to question. |

How does a former 4 star player end up at Chicago State? For what it's worth, Chicago State is the only independent team in Division 1, and they played three late games against non-Division I teams. That said, they did beat some pretty good teams, like Northwestern. |

I think he followed a family member who was an assistant coach.

“But as the next season began, the Villanova team weight room was being renovated and DiVincenzo found himself in an open student fitness center jawing with Hart. Hart made some sort of insult that caused an agitated DiVincenzo to tell him, "Say it again," as he stood with a 10-pound plate in his hand. Hart said it again, and DiVincenzo swung the weight at him. The ensuing brawl was eventually broken up by teammates, including Brunson, and the two ended up having to meet with Wright. Wright couldn't believe that DiVincenzo swung a weight at Hart. But he also couldn't believe Hart said what he said -- nobody who spoke with ESPN for this story would repeat it. "The plate should have hit him with what Josh said," Brunson says now.” The birth of the Nova Knickswww.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39990299/new-york-knicks-villanova-wildcats |
