Well, my nephew guarded him in a somerset county tournament game last year and did a much better job of guarding him that ND did. Ha, Ha. The truth is the kid is going to be a monster. Right now, one on one in the blocks there was nobody I saw throughout the tournament that could cover him.
As hard as it is to say, he made the right choice for himself. Maybe at some point a guy like him will become a pied piper in NJ and go to Rutgers. Until that happens, we will have to build a team with good players, who want to be here, who are tough, and want to develop.
You can't compare ky and Rutgers bb, but the truth is, had he been on this years team and we had a solid point guard, you are looking at 20 win plus team and probably dancing. He just did not want to be "the guy" he wanted to compete for a championship, so I can't fault him. No matter where he went to school, though, he was going to be a pro. One guy could turn this program around if he is that good, but as we know, right now, we are not going to attract a player like that.
What I don't get is that in Football, we can compete, our players get high APR rankings every year, and we have decent facilities, and we are arguably in the Best football conference in america, definitely top 2. So why can't we attract more NJ blue chippers? Hoping that Gary, Guarantano start a new trend.
But to answer your question, no, I don't really feel much of a connection to Towns.
