Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Georgetown has been the early name I've seen for Whitney. Also, someone noted that no where does he use the word 'transfer' so speculating he's going to go pro overseas. Stromboli 1 Quote

I’ve always said that at some point Duke, Kentucky, etc. have to get burned playing the one and done game when a year comes that guys under perform and don’t leave early. To this point I don’t think it’s actually happened somehow, but it had to bite them eventually right? And then what do they say to the four five-star kids signed who they don’t have room for anymore? I feel like it would only take once for that to throw their whole scheme out of whack. NOLA Hoosier 1 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 If I were either a rebuilding P5 team or a top mid major, I’d be going hard after both Shareef O’Neal and Khalil Whitney. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
reconmkd Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Talking with my co-worker pUKe fans, Whitney is a big guy, doesn't get many minutes currently, when he does play he sits at the 3pt line building brick walls, and does NOT play defense. I'm not so sure that would be a good fit here. PS: in the last 7 pUKe games, Whitney has scored 3 points and 3 boards. Quote

Jon Rothstein Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners The "one and done" model was bound to fail from the very start, almost like a built-in destruct date.

Last year, Zion was the exception that kind of proved the rule. Quote

Guys playing to win vs playing for self and NBA. Some ultra talents stay a year longer and some lesser talents leave to leave and Gleague it or oversea it. Finding the right mixture of talent, chemistry, with guys with the same goals is the key. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks and Ranger78 2 Quote

Teams have gone through so many ups and down and no consistency, this is by far the worst year yet as so many programs are down. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Holtmann is now 11-19 against Big Ten teams in the last two seasons. I watched something about Holtmann or maybe I read it. (sorry getting older and too many blows to the head). Anyways... it was about coaching at OSU. It covered how he can't sleep at night and how he interacts with his family and how they try to support him. He was up until like 5:30 am after a game watching game tape (I think it was covering before and after the PSU game) . I get these guys make a lot of money, but the profession is brutal. Every one of these guys signs up for it... and I don't think any of them are looking for sympathy. Great money doing what you love. I guess my point is just to remember its a lot easier sitting back critiquing what these guys do and a lot different trying to get results. I get they get paid well to handle the stress... Fans should expect results and WE put a lot into it.... but the players and coaches put a LOT more into it and have a lot more to lose than any fan out there. I will now step off my soapbox .... And Wat - this wasn't directed at you... your post made me think of Coach Holtmann. RatpigHoosier, hoosierfan6157 and cthomas 2 1 Quote
