I hate to put this here, because well, I hate Duke but the outside UVA recruiting thread went bye bye.
Those guys are gonna get both Edgecomb and Ngongba. The ‘only one ball’ and ‘only 5 guys on the floor at a time’ theories are gonna come into play against the golden boy at some point…the verdict is still way out on Kon of course but Power is screwed. Played some of the lowest mins in their exhibition last night and onlu had like 7 pts. We’ll see him in Chestnut Hill next season
I thought Kon seeming like a grounded kid would rise above drinking the kool aid. I’m not even being a homer, i think if he didn’t come here Marquette would have been a great home for him too. He wouldn’t accomplish anything special at Wisconsin but it should have been us or Marquette. Something will have to give there’s only so much playing time and there will be a lot of transfers. I think Jon has the potential to be a great coach but this will backfire on him down the road. He’s literally so cocky that he can not only manage but keep all of these five stars happy. I can’t wait for him to fail.
The only coach that has ever been able to manage a stacked roster in a given year was Cal in 14-15. I think the blue print for winning a chip is to have 3/4 great players and bench players to fill in the gap. With so many 5 stars none of them will ever be able to get into a flow.
And the real issue with Power isn’t that he didn’t pick us. I totally get why he’d have been apprehensive about Traudt. But if Traudt on the roster was any concern whatsoever, going to Duke, regardless of how the roster looked at that very moment or what they said, was going to be 1000x worse. He was screwed from the moment he signed.
