Doucore reclassified, and really should have been given a red shirt so that he could work on fitness and strength. But we were short handed. Think Doucore will be fine--there's guys in the NBA who played poorly as freshmen--and even sophs. Like Frank Kaminsky of Wisconsin. Freshman year, 1.4 PPG, 1.4 RPG. Soph, 4.2 PPG, 1.8 RPG. Jr--14/6. Sr-19/8 and conference POY. Third year with Charlotte; 12/5 last season. Big guys take a while. So Geo, Eugene and Doucore are three promising freshmen--Geo is already good. To be honest, Corey seems much like freshman Corey, and maybe it is time for a parting of the ways. Bullock seems salvageable--with a program to at least get fit, if that is his normal body. He's a freshmen too, and seems to know how to play and is not intimidated. He was all-state for a reason. Doorson--is he really on track to graduate next year? All of a sudden we have a slew of guys that rarely post--summer soldiers, as it were.
Reminds me of the drumfire on the board directed against Gary Waters, largely from new posters. Fred Hill Jr--right now, or else someone else will grab him. With FHJ, Mike Rice and EJ, who is a better NBA assistant than a college HC, how in the world did anyone think a new coach would get any recruiting traction right off the mark?? It is the nature of fans to gripe and want it NOW. But coming off a legacy of FHJ, who was dreadful, Mike Rice, who made us a punchline and EJ, who was old and unsuited, did you expect Pike to land a good first group of 3 and 4 stars based on a good record at Stony Brook and a good staff? In what alternate universe do you live? Next year, the roster will be much better, with better depth. And 2019-20, we should start making some real noise, as the young guys mature.
