[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1968361, member: 623415"] I find the narrative “yeah but Epps is on a bad team” a little annoying (too strong of a word but can’t think of a better one). I don’t want to rehash his time here or why he left, but once he decided to leave he looked for the best spot for him. Taking NIL out of the equation since I don’t know what he’s getting nor if he had better offers, he chose a school in a good conference with a new coach (most I’ve heard kids like playing for Cooley) who told him we’re going to build something so come be a part of that and you’ll have the ball in your hands. Probably similar to the same pitch Ayo got, and no I’m not saying he’s as good or will be as good as Ayo. But as a guard that has to be enticing. And G’town currently has the 16th ranked 2024 class with two top 75 kids and a top 175 kid — and none are a PG. so Cooley seems to be holding up his side of the bargain. [/QUOTE]
