Has anyone seen this article yet? I think Geno will end up at Pitt...

Would seem to be a curious choice regardless of his familiarity with the school. Going from one struggling program to another as a 5th year grad. If he does than winning is obviously not a high priority and other things would have to be the deciding factors.
Pitt who was 4-14 in ACC will be even worse this upcoming year.
Geno's USF and Penn State teams had a combined 11-43 conference record. Does he really want to suck again?
It seems like shu would be a great fit for him. Ideal spot for him to be successful on an NCAA tournament team.

I don't think I'd be opposed to having wheeler as long as we also get a starting pg. he could provide some protection against injuries especially if the staff thinks he would be an upgrade at pg over eron Gordon. And at least we would have a 3 star pg set to be on the 18-19 roster.
Even if we have wheeler we'll still go after a pg in the 2018 class.

I was just basing my prediction on that article because I haven't seen any other news on him. I'm not sure what the other options are for SHU so I hope Geno comes.
4.6 assists is a high number which I don't see mentioned a lot. I figure his shooting percentage and high turnovers are results of the team he had around him as well.

The 2017-18 team will have the highest expectations of any team in over a decade. And you would rather not take the best available pg to boost those chances, because we don't have our pg situation for 2018-19 figured out yet?
That's crazy. Get the best available for THIS year. Have a special year and use that to land a good pg for next year. If in addition we can land a 2017 pg to provide depth moving forward then great.
At this point I hope we can get Geno Thorpe on his visit soon. He would be the best get at this point. Saw where Aaron Thompson (Pitt decommit) is visiting VCU and Butler in the next couple of days. Supposedly our staff reached out but I don't remember us recruiting him at all. Chris Darrington hasn't been mentioned in a while. He hasn't committed yet but I'm guessing he's not showing us the love back. We need a proven 5th Year transfer given the team we have coming back. From what I've read I would sign on the dotted line for Geno Thorpe at this point in the game.
I'm beginning to fear that next year will be remembered as the season as "what could have been if only we had a decent pg".
I'm not particularly high on geno Thorpe but at this point I'm praying to the basketball gods we can get him.

This is pathetic and continues to show how inept our coach is.
Its his program, every good or bad move is put on him.
Never seen him ball, but he is a 75 (3 star) per ESPN - which happens to be the same rating Carrington was coming out of HS. Hard to swallow being so close with Duval, but the team obviously liked what they saw (chemistry and skills)... hoping the best for the kid and that everything works its way out.
FWIW- Angel and Carrington are friends with him on Instagram, so maybe that shows they like the kid?

Wow. I just can't believe that we didn't get Walker. Willard's recruiting is still a mystery. Brevin Knight disaster Part 2
Who else could it be put on then? We better be bringing in a QUALITY grad transfer who can give us 30 mpg, otherwise what a failure this will be.
3 recruiting cycles to bring in a PG to pair with the 4 seniors and it looks like we have struck out again on all of our top targets. Unacceptable.
I think that's pretty clear if you have been following Artie's posts....
Watch some game films, there are whole games on youtube. Not impressed to say the least.
The new point guard had to be ordained. Lol.
Thats fair, I understand highlight tapes dont show nearly enough...just think its funny if we don't get Wheeler people would be complaining how we lost out to lower level schools lol
