Quote from: Hogworth Ballington III on Apr 28, 2023, 12:28 PMGet out of my head. I was just thinking alongside those same lines this morning. I would think there could be room for two developmental type guys on the bench each year to help ease the transition 2-3 years down the road. Especially if only 9 are going to see any meaningful playing time. I mean I guess fear of injuries might push you to stack the bench with a couple dependable, veteran transfers, but that would still leave room for guys like Ford and Dunning.

Side note, I think I would rather have kept Ford than Pinion. I know that's tantamount to blasphemy, but I liked Ford's mentality (seems to have that dog in him) and work ethic. Pinion might prove to be an all world scorer at some point, but last year he just proved he knew how to stand in a corner real still like and be a liability on defense.


I'm sad to see Ford go but I'd rather keep an elite shooter like Pinion over keeping another athletic wing like Ford.

So you reckon Black could come back and play ball with his teammate Ron Holland? How much more room would we need. How many more players have to get fucked to make this happen?

black's hired an non ncaa approved agent already, he gone.

holland decommitting is a surprise because i read an article last year where his dad said terry was the real reason he went to texass.

probably our biggest competition.

IF Ford was pushed out for Holland, then it makes total sense.

Muss gets the benefit of the doubt because of the success of the last three years. But this year coming up will be the year to prove whether or not he can get us to the summit.

Nolan went to the Final Four in year 5. Can Muss do the same?

He was. Holland is going to be a Hog.

and Black's momma all over twitter talking about what a great kid Ford is. Maybe he's a stand up guy and gracefully bowed out his spot on the team.

Oh Ford is salt of the earth dude for sure. I'm sure Muss was like, hey man, we need you to probably think about hitting the portal and going somewhere where you can play immediately.

Ford was like okay let me pray about it and talk with my family. 24 hours later, he goes back to Muss with his decision. Announces the following morning on Twitter.

I don't see Black's game translating to the NBA AT ALL. He doesn't have the athleticism and quickness and hops.

Jesus did you even watch him play? He's way more athletic than you are letting on. Slow for his position, can't shoot...sure but he's far from non-athletic.

I revise and extend my remarks, and agree with your analysis.

For what it's worth, the scout I was sitting next to at the Violation in Vegas was raving about him. Said he is the type of guy you put on your team to elevate everyone around him. Loved his size, motor, and court vision (despite the to's). Then he went on to grab 5 steals. Guys paid a lot to make sure their teams win seem to think the kid is a can't miss talent right now and is nowhere near his ceiling.

I'm not sure how you can watch Black and think "this guy isn't a great athlete" He could have played for our football team at WR too.

Agree. If I were to bet, that's where my money would be.

He was an elite WR as well.  Incredibly athletic.
