Hey man I have no problem whatsoever for evolving thinking as the season unfolds. I think both of us are wavering a tad on Young but hey that could change over the Summer. You and I are so close on Rodney that you couldn't stick a sheet of copy paper between us.
I'm just thinking...and that's evolving thinking...that I don't want to miss The Dance two years in a row AND Rodney is some insurance that we don't.
I can be convinced differently but need to see more improvement and consistency with some of the others first.

If Cooley is half the developer of talent that's been posted in these parts and drew Edwards is the missing piece, how can we not replace 14 and 5 with an entire roster returning? Now the reality is our offense ain't great and the 14 really needs to be about 18. As mentioned, I think we get into the dance next year regardless. This bubble is so hiss poor and gets worse annually. After watching Young, I no longer think dickens redshirts and he and Watson are going to need minutes next year to get us to where we'd like to be for 18-19. Edwards will have sat out a year w/o practice. Jackson has taken 2/3 of a season to adjust sitting out w practice. I would bet Edwards is limited minutes next year.

to argue against myself...there's a reason why he gets 30mpg. He can be our best player...got a text from a coach last night who said we're a sweet 16 team if everyone returns...

Hope that coach is right.
Does the Rodney as Insurance make sense to you walk?

Tell Keno we all said Hi!!! Speaking of ex-coaches, I have not seen Pete Gillen doing any games this year. Tim Welsh also seems to be missing unless he is just doing Celtic post games. Finally, great story which some of you may have seen on the Louisville walk-on who literally won the game in OT against the Cuse this week. He was not even listed in the top 100 high school players in Florida. Vitale saw him in a game ( near his home in Sarasota) and got on the kid's bandwagon. No scholarship offers so vitale gets on the phone and calls Calipari, Bo Ryan, Roy Williams, Pitino and others. Pitino bites, makes the kid red-shirt since he is 6'170 lbs and there he was killing Boeheim in OT

walk, just try to enjoy what Bullock brought to the game LAST night.
That was yesterday; the next game is 2/22; one game at a time; next season is next season.
You may get your wish
I think the Friars are better with him than without him, this season and hopefully next season.
Looking forward to good results for the remainder of the season, some success in the Big East Tournament, and some post- season success.
That's gravy after all the lean years.

not sure Rodney is an insurance kind of guy. I am not saying we are a better team without Rodney next year. He's proven capable of being our best player some nights but at his position I believe we're covered if he's elsewhere. And if he's elsewhere, others will gain the experience needed to make us very good in 18-19.

I really enjoyed our play last night. After reading through this thread I'm disgusted with our team and now worried about next year. Thanks

This is the moment when I felt PC had the win locked up. This sort of sequence re-charges my batteries!
(Note: So long as it didn't result in a Technical being called on Holt...he was down to a single foul to give, and the free throws and retained possession by Xavier could have shifted the momentum away from PC)
Thank God for Emmitt Holt!
