Fallout from Stallings dismissal
- Thread starter Ulla1
- Start date
Of course I hope the next one works to our advantage here, but at face value it's kind of hilarious to see a kid decommit in a situation like this.
"You won zero conference games and want a new coach who will do better? THAT'S NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. PEACE!"

If Stallings truly has been let go, there may be one or two guys on the Pitt team that might be good fits for us. I was thinking especially about a certain Bryce Golden, who happens to have close contacts on the current team. Imagine how good we could be if we had two "Golden brothers" on our front-line. If Bryce were to transfer, or to gain a release from his commitment, and be able to play this coming fall, we would certainly finally have the long-awaited "depth" on the front-line that we have all been talking about here. Bryce could potentially compete for a starting position immediately at the PF (4) position, and/or could back-up Grant at the C (5) spot. Either way, there would be a huge reduction in learning curve if we had two guys who have played together since about age 5 on our front-line. I could see some awesome brother-to-brother passing underneath upcoming, with some very thunderous slam-dunks!!!! I am hopeful that Grant has been texting...
Oldie may be onto something. How come nobody else thought of this?
The downside is they may get a dynamic coach who could come in with a great sales pitch and convince players to stay, and talk to their siblings also.

If Bryce stays he may be the only one on the team at this point. Imagine having to play an entire season of basketball by yourself, 1 on 5. Very difficult.
Wow, that has to make it a bit harder to find a coach when you start with 12 walk-ons and 1 recruit.
Well considering these same players went winless in the ACC this year, perhaps this is not the worst thing in the world. It will allow a new coach to start fresh, but obviously a major rebuild is in order,

it was a VERY young team. they had some talent. a rebuilt this late will take a while.
Go Figure - live in Athens, Georgia or Pittsburgh, Pa - not tough to agree with that choice...................................
Crean is a good hire for GA. He is a very good coach.Pitt may be waiting for Rhode Island's season to end to announce /pursue Hurley. I think that we are 50/50 on getting Bryce Golden.
If Bryce Golden likes the new hire at Pitt I think he stays. The exodus of current players there puts him in a great position to play early and often. Expectations will be low, opportunity will be exceptionally high.
If Bryce isn't one of the 8 then I think he is dead set on Pitt. It is what it is, and wish him the best regardless of what he decides
fan, you got that right. Spent 6 months in Athens as a young researcher; legendary.
he's good enough to play early and often at a lot of places, even if it's not here. think about why you sign somewhere. you've developed some kind of bond with the coaches and the team and the other committed recruits in your class. it's all gone. I'll be surprised if he stays there.
This message board is about to explode.
I think Pitt now has no scholarship players next season and no coach. They are a true and complete dumpster fire right now, and may have difficulty attracting a quality coaching candidate. Has there ever been a program in a worse state than Pitt is in right now?
If Mooney lands Bryce and is able to keep our current team intact I'd ease off the FMM train for a year.
According to his mom, yes.
But it's been nine months and he had a good senior year. Suitors will be plenty.
Me too. This is the opportunity we needed. Do your job, Mooney and go get Bryce. No excuses.

Obviously he fills a position of need and we have tons of time available for him. Also, we can show that he could be one of the top players in conference as a freshmen in our system, like his brother. The key would be convincing him that we would be an NCAA team with him on board.
