Bossi talks to Meek about Frank's recruiting philosophy

[yosh]

Not gonna happen.  Frank loves him and our options are seriously limited. 

he wouldn't have taken myles if he loved him as much as you suggest.  taking myles imbalanced the classes and overloaded the team with 1-2 guards.  in some ways, it was a desperation recruit and dramatically increases the possibility that someone transfers at the end of this year.

i don't think that suggests that the staff is very comfortable with irving and russell.

I agree.  I meant he loves him like he loves Merriewether and will play him plenty because of it.

CM played like 8mpg, which is a far cry from starting PG. If anyone besides Pullen is starting PG, it's because they beat out Pullen, not beacuse Pullen is better as a 2.  That isn't going to happen realistically

Merri shouldn't be part of this discussion anyway.  He was a walk-on for Huggs.  Merri/OJ can be discussed, but they have no place in a "Frank Recruiting Phitlosophy" thread.  JMHO.

If you're saying that Irving is going to get 8 energy mpg on top of whatever he's going to get because we lost Clemente and have no quality depth at guard, you're saying he's going to get a lot of minutes.

mods should split thread into 2:  1 for discussion on meek blog post and the other for discussion on the zero talent that composes the combo guards on this team (outside of pullen ... obv)

Interesting thread. I realize that it is the offseason and people need somthing to freak out about, but relax a little about Irving. He did everything he was supposed to do last year, and he will continue to do his job next year. Remember both Irving and Russel were Freshman. They will both take up more roles on the team and they will either step up, or Frank will make them step up. So relax a little and trust in our coaching staff. They will have the players ready when the time comes.   That is all.
