Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Lol some of y'all man. Yeah he's coming off of an injury, but he was one of the best on ball defensive players in the country and is a good ball handler. Big guard that can pass it
He's a fine depth piece. Is he ready to step in and play point guard? If not, nothing has changed for the upcoming season.

I like Williams pre-injury but ummmm.. Achilles is a little concerning considering its only been like 6 months post injury (I believe?) and were in need of an immediate veteran pg. Ideally, he'd be further along the injury timeline or would not be the only high major veteran pg with experience on the roster so we could ease him along.

I read the injury occurred in October so depending on what part of October its been a little longer than that

The second RayJ took another visit … I’m calling Caleb Love …

But that’s just how I would handle it …

I get passing on Cone and Sallis because waiting on RayJ makes sense when those guys committed early but when Love opened back up … We should have pursued …

Can you or someone clue me in on why people are still enamored of Love (outside of that tourney performance two years ago)? Had a bad a/TO ratio, shot under 30% from 3 and under 40% total, scored 16 pts on 15 spg, and couldve been a problem chemistry wise given its widely reported he hooked up with a teammates gf.

I feel like brad wouldve been roasted on here just as bad if he picked up Love with Ray J on the table.

But i certainly could be missing something. Wouldnt be the first time LOL

It seems like I’m in the minority here but I’m honestly pretty excited about this addition as long as we add a grad transfer to start this year. It’ll be nice to have a guy like him that you can trust to run the second unit.

Unless he’s okay not playing for multiple years, moretti is like 5th string right now.
I get that but I feel like if he transfers it's gonna look like a crean situation which is bad optics IMO..

I guess he could "decide" to go back overseas

Ok, so like 7 or 8 months? Splitting hairs imo at that point. I like him, but getting over a mental hurdle from that type of injury takes much longer than just the physical recovery time

Lol come on dude… like this isn’t a good player. Can we just be realistic here. He’s on his third school for a reason. He can’t shoot. Coming off an injury. This is blah.

I've seen Crean's name come up with this, can someone refresh my memory with that?
