Maybe Mo Williams meant to tweet let's go at McBride.

This is Pope's way of softening the blow in half an hour. I like McBride, he doesn't deserve to be the fall guy here.
Nobody is going to blame that kid but it’s a crap plan to have him do it a half hour before his latest and probably biggest whiff to date if Stokes doesn’t come.

How would landing this guy soften the blow of missing Stokes?
It doesn’t at all. But, the timing is a little weird, isn’t it? Why would they announce this 30 minutes before Stokes’ announcement & steal some of his thunder if he’s coming here? I think they’d have him wait til after Stokes’ announcement if we were getting him. Makes me think MM isn’t an option, either.

Dumb choice on decision timing. No one will be talking about this in a half hour one way or the other.

His shooting numbers reallllly concern me from his first two years playing college ball. The whole sell with him is his size and shooting…if the shooting doesn’t carry over from last year this is a really weak pickup
Exactly. He took noticeable steps down in conference / competition each year and only put up OK numbers when he downgraded to the Sun Belt. Plain and simple, he belongs in the Sun Belt.

Hope he does well here.

Doubt the staff would let him announce right before Stokes if they were confident we were getting him (I know, different positions, just more of a thing of everyone getting their own special announcement day), but who knows. I certainly don't feel great about it.

Just like my exchange w/ MT, I understand what you're saying, but the staff has got to realize NOBODY cares about McBride.

McBride committing does nothing to Stokes’ “thunder”
