Give it a few years. We’ll have an Asst GM. A portal director, an asst portal director, head of off season operations and more. Start your applications. No skill required

I was not trying to be a comedian. 6 weeks into the GMs tenure and your idea to get Pat Auda on the call is better than anything we’ve seen to date.
sad state we are in
Here is an idea. We have lots of former SHU players playing all over the world. Why not reach out to them and ask them to scout players for us that they think can bring something to the table? Even offer them a stipend if they bring us a solid lead? We must have at least a dozen of more former players in pro leagues around the world. A great resource that can be used!
Impossible. He posts on Twitter and has connections! He knows all 2000 players in the portal and knows exactly who will play here and play extremely above expectations.
We did that and Whitehead brought us Ardogan, LOL.
Maybe the GM is just the strong, silent type. Like Gary Cooper.
Good point there might be some swings and misses but if you keep doing what you always do you will get what you always got.
He would never have averaged that many minutes per game.
Forget whatever real or perceived conditioning issues Hines may have had. He averaged 2.4 fouls per game in 18 minutes per.
He didn't foul out of any games but picked up four fouls in fewer than 20 minutes three times. He also had three appearances where he committed three fouls in fewer than 20 minutes.
FYI, Players are allowed 5 fouls. Scoring, rebounding and defense are slightly more important than he “might foul out.”
I'm too stupid to do all that analysis but here's the current BE team portal rankings per Evan Miya:
Marquette - 4
Villanova - 6
Xavier - 7
Connecticut - 10
Providence - 14
DePaul - 37
Creighton - 40
St. John's - 59
Butler - 72
Georgetown - 75
Seton Hall - 88
You would have more of a case if Hines' numbers were demonstrably better than Payne's.
I like Hines. I think he has the talent to be very good -- and is clearly more talented than Payne. Foul trouble is a weakness and is something Hurley and his staff are going to have to try to coach out of him if he is to reach his potential.
