Not giving up quite yet on guys like Neskovic, Glou, even Tanner. But really getting to the point where its not fitting so far.
I am not seeing the value in sitting these guys. To be completely honest, I only see this as more Long Game in the @#%^&&& triumvirate. Mooney sitting down with PQ and Hardt and saying look, the guys we brought in this year are not really working out, that is the hit or miss nature of the portal. We have a tremendous class coming in next year, and when we work in the red shirting freshman we are going to have a super core for four years. Now we might not see much results the next two, but we are building for some big ol runs in years 3 and 4. HE HAS ALREADY said as much in interviews, saying he is going back to building through recruiting.
In reality, this is the new paradigm - at least for the near future. NO reason to believe Mooney is ahead of the curve, because history says he is behind the curve.
In reality, even with this line of faulty thinking, he would be better to work those guys in this year. So far, they can't do much worse, and I think they both could help. I think even 4700 has gone on record to play the freshman. Let's do it. Mooney is trying some IVY league strategy thinking, and I'm sure PQ and his leafy campus commentary, along with 80s and Hardt, is eating it up.
Hopefully the freshman's parents talked to them and are in Moon's office as I type. LET's GO!!!!!!!
