Lol what recruit did we tell abt stevens?

I truly doubt it ever actually happened.

Losing Jordan would stink. He has a lot of potential that really just needs a summer or two to pay off. 

Losing Franklin and Kristian would stink as well. Our best guard and our best PG if we're being honest. 

 

I love Race, but if I had to choose someone then it would be him.

Yeah those two guys are both capable of huge leaps.  Really important to keep

By what metric are you basing this off of? Recruiting ranking?

I won't pretend to answer for Trish, but it's him or Phinisee. I personally have more faith in talent development than someone fixing their mental make-up.

That's fine, but the statement was phrased in the present tense.

I'm by no means a Phinisee fan, as I've been very clear on this board many a times, but there's a reason Lander only played 10 minutes a game this season. In nearly every statistic Phinisee has shown to be more effective. Can Lander become a better PG in the future that what Phinisee has been, I'm sure of it, but to say he should without a doubt be the starting PG over a SR Phinisee is a stretch.

He needs a complete overhaul of his shot, needs far better decision making with the basketball and a big part of him only seeing 10 minutes a game is that his defense was no where close to being ready for major minutes in the Big10. The only thing I would take from his game over Phinisee currently is the speed at which he plays and that's because Phin sets the bar so low in that regard.

Brain fart moment at 8AM Friday. 

I meant Franklin is our best guard on the team and Kristian is our best PG on the team. Rob Phinisee should be but his inconsistent contributions from each game is beyond frustrating. Kristian can't shoot, yet. But he has very good court vision, he's very good at the pocket-pass in the PnR. He needs to add weight so he can defend some of these guards. 

I don't have a metric. I'm using the future test as my hard evidence. No one here or on the staff knows what Rob Phinisee will bring next year, he's a walking mystery. It has to be mental at this point. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

So anyone we going after? Figured we would be going after at least 1 wing.

How would we or any of the staff know what kind of a leap Lander would make next year by that same rationale? I'm confident that he can improve, but I'm convinced a lot of people, including yourself, have latched on to that recruiting ranking and Phin's disappointments and have anointed Lander as the answer.

Maybe this was one of your trolling moments, but you were demanding an apology from anyone critical of Lander after a pretty pocket pass in a game he went 0 points 1 rebound and 3 assists.

[FightFor6]

I'm really hoping we're not in a position where we feel one of Lander or Phinisee has to start next season. Let them compete for minutes from the bench. This team has been hamstrung for 4 years now by a hopeless backcourt that may or may not show up each game. You either have to retain Franklin and find a starter in the portal or find 2 starters from the portal that are clear upgrades.

Lander needs to be the answer because he's the future PG of the program. We know what Rob is going to bring each game, elite defense and unpredictable offense. The ball tends to stop in his hands for whatever reason and his tendency to stare down passes is scary. 

We need to develop Kristian as much as possible. He has a long ways to go but let's face it, we're not competing for a National Championship or a B1G Championship next year. Let Kristian develop by increasing his minutes and letting him start. Rob has peaked. Franklin can't handle the PG spot, he has tunnel vision and his ball handling skills are not very good in B1G comparison. 

This is assuming we don't land any transfers that could start PG. 

[Hoosierfanyuh]

I think if lander leaves we will make a really strong push for that Pg from pitt. Hes played with parker before and we would have the perfect set up for him. I dont believe well have him and lander both though. One or the other.

another good player on the market

Message being sent to Franklin or more an indication that Franklin is leaning towards leaving?  Interesting.

It’s a very beatable list too.
