then we did indeed miss again on the true area of need. Academics, and late signing, and maybe he will flip again, blah, blah, blah put aside... right now our "true area of need" is LEGIT D1 BASKETBALL TALENT! Period, position doesn't even really matter. And Hollins has PLENTY of talent. Especially in the college game when different styles, schemes, etc can cover for a lot of positional deficiencies, I would welcome 5 talented basketball players as starters (and 5 more as backups), I literally don't care about position right now (except pg, we really need a pg that doesn't turn it over). I mean we haven't had a true "Center" since... who? David Lucas? Maybe? He was more like a Power forward that had a good back to the basket game... Bring in the talent! Positions will work themselves out. Heck if Hollins is as talented as I think he is, I bet five of him on the floor would run laps around the team which just endured all season...

If baseba111 wants to go out of his way to be unhappy, let him. By his logic, GPII was the worst recruit in history. A JUCO with known academic issues, no offers from top-tier schools, and a last-minute signing (and re-signing, after Robinson was fired.) Barely a 3-star rating - some had him at 2-stars. 6'3", decent passer, mediocre shot - at best, he comes off the bench to play defense. What good could possibly come from bringing in a loser like that . . .

I certainly thought he was going to be more Brandon Payton than Gary Payton.

As many have posted, many times, this is a message board. People share ideas and opinions... humor too. Only those who come here to be "right" or judge are truly unhappy... as they are rarely correct in either case. But, if it makes you feel better, I was sort of unhappy with my breakfast selection in PCity this morning on the way to Corvallis. PS- you're very good at 20/20 hindsight! So, by your incredible logic a kid like Hollins is going to be better than GPII? Hell... I'm making Final 4 reservations for 2018! 😊
