For what seems like months already, every time we lose out on a player, or even lose a player ( Cliff) to the portal, it's automatic that we get the same refrain ..."How can they turn down a chance to play with Ace and Dylan" or
"Doesn't he know there will be NBA Scouts at Every Game". Finally the thought of playing for a Final 4 team on a team that had won one NCAA tournament game in 40 years, is taking a leap of faith
In speaking to a few people about the mediocre success in the portal, Ace and Dylan might be hurting more than its helping.
With Ace, Dylan and JWill likely to get 60% or more of the shots, that leaves 40% to.be distributed to 10 players. Add to that the limited minutes available, as even a starting 5 may only get 20 minutes barring a huge cash injection and the prospects of coming to RU as a 4th or 5th option don't seem as rosy. In sum, we are shopping for role players on a limited budget, which is like trying to put a Chevy engine into a Maserati. I do trust Pike, but the once in a lifetime opportunity may remain just that - once in our lifetime
