I had a feeling there would be a conflict there. Weather it be from one or the other. Two similar players physically and both ball dominate guards. I said in a previous post I couldn’t imagine both starting bc of their size. That’s probably why we weren’t chosen (he wouldn’t start here immediately). Edit: This is referring to Cone.

While as a fan I don't care who starts and who doesn't,selfishly, I just looked at this would make us a deeper team at PG and improve our chances next year. It is a tough balancing act. Hopefully some developments soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, let's just wait and see what happens, because until they show up in August, who really knows what may happen. Sadly, this is the new normal in ncaa bball. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he is thinking he wants to play closer to home? UB would be the perfect place. The other possibility is he wants to play at a power 5 school, can’t see him playing much at a bigger school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Would have to think we’re one of the favorites now no? Maybe us and Kansas state? Unless some other school jumped in maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A P5 school called with minutes to offer, unless you thought you’d be home sick and SBU or UB jump into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No immediate playing time at Bona as they are stacked and could be a preseason ranked team. Anyone but Bona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd be surprised if he decommitted after 5 days to attend one of the schools he already crossed off his list. My money is on a new P5 that entered into the mix after seeing him put up 41pts a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems likely...I suspect we will find out soon as I expect he knows where he is going, just waiting for dust to settle after decommit.

Ok...it may be way off...but who knows these days! Not a wild guess. Pitino is doing big things at Iona. And he’s still Pitino. His name still has clout. Plus Iona, even before Pitino, is in the tournament every year. I’m not saying Blocker goes there but Pitino will recruit. Just yesterday he got a 4 star transfer from SMU who was an all league (AAC) caliber player. If I were a kid I’d wanna play for him. He’s tough, demanding but he knows basketball. And despite his age he isn’t out of touch. Keep in mind he just coached in Europe. The European style of play has greatly influenced the NBA game. That and analytics.

Tee4three Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 But on blocker, did a coach he liked get hired as a head coach somewhere else? or maybe he thought a player was signing at a school he wanted but also were a guard In ub's instance maybe he thought cone was coming here and that pushed him elsewhere.
