Agree. We have four to make two.Glad we held on to this kid then, still think we are too PG heavy.
Less questioning purely because there's more tape. Gadsden has a Jordan Miller-esque frame, probably coming in as a better shooter than Jordan was, and he plays with a ton of bounce. Additionally, he's been in a college weight lifting program for a few months.Less questioning about him than Gadsden that’s for sure. Injury history is quite scary but kid was really highly touted two years ago. Hope he’s feeling good!!
100% agree. I think back to the most successful eras/teams in recent history and a true PG/floor general is a common denominator - Jason Miskiri, Tremaine Price, Tony Skinn, and Andre Cornelius... those were what I'd consider true PGs, and lulls we had between their teams had guys like Raoul Heinin, Cam Long, Jordan Farmer, etc running point. Otis was a true PG, too, but the lack of success I'll attribute to coaching and not having good surrounding pieces. But nothing would make me happier than seeing a true PG leading the show when the English era begins; not a SG masquerading as a PG.I could see that. Hewitt never landed a true PG. every team needs a floor general. It’s useless to have shooters if no one is going to pass to them ahah.

It won’t take until after next season for everything to shake out. With the NCAA’s new offseason workout rules, coaches can hold full team practices for a certain number of hours instead of being limited to individual skill work. They will find out long before we do where everyone stands in the pecking order ... I’d be shocked if we don’t have one more player enter the portal at some point this spring/early summer.My guess is that Hartwell hits the portal after next season, when it becomes clear he's on the outside looking in. I simply don't see him getting any meaningful PT. And I'd actually prefer to see it happen that way so English has an extra scholarship next year to play with and add the pieces he truly needs after a complete year of evaluation. Maybe we all think it's a 2, but someone stepped up out of nowhere and the new gap is actually the 3. Time and actual games will be the true indicators.
My big worry is he figures it out late July early August and we get put into a bad spot late in the game going into the season.It won’t take until after next season for everything to shake out.

That's good. I might STILL prefer English wait and hold onto the extra scholarship then until after next season - depending on how the transfer portal looks at that time, and unless we have a GLARING depth issue at a certain position. I'm not super familiar with how the portal looks at certain points of the year when it comes to basketball... but from a football POV, those late portal entries tend to be guys that are either lazy and not interested in putting in the work to earn their spot, or fringe players that can't play with consistency. Not the type I'd be super excited about risking a scholly on. But maybe basketball is a different story.It won’t take until after next season for everything to shake out.

Based on KE’s level of personal engagement with the players and the way these things typically work, I’m sure there are going to be frank conversations happening over the next couple months. Hopefully the staff and players can find mutually beneficial resolutions for everyone because one of the PGs will be an odd man outMy big worry is he figures it out late July early August and we get put into a bad spot late in the game going into the season.
Good riddance....
We’ll find out soon enoughTime to fill that scholly. Wonder where he went.
We don't fear betrayers -- we break them. Drive them to their knees, make them beg for mercy and then show them none.Tyler, anywhere but Richmond!!!! Yes, he was contacted by them. Don't want to play against him for 3 years.

Stop crying -- turn the sadness into anger, the anger into rage and that rage into the subjugation of your enemies.
