I feel like someone should be patting you on the head after you post.
Congratulations to McKnight. It's a great pickup for the Pirates.
The 6-3 McKnight is a winner and a very experienced college player. He played on three state championship teams in high school in CT.
McKnight just spend two seasons playing for a highly experienced coaching staff led by HC Anthony Latina who was the captain of his state championship high school team and a PG in college where he was also the captain and a four-year starter at Brandeis.
McKnight started 59 games at SHU and scored 913 points. He was on the NEC all-rookie team and was first-team all NEC as a sophomore.
Now he gets to spend a year with Willard and Holloway while practicing with a top 15 (at least) Big East team.
Will he start in 18-19? Who knows. But is there any doubt he will contribute in a significant way?

This kid has a very high dribble and appears out of control at times. This would worry most teams but Willard and Shaheen are proven point guard whisperers.
Excited to see what he can do at Seton Hall. Depth is very rarely ever a negative asset to have especially in the Big East.
We all want a top ranked HS point guard recruit but if this guy can give us even 75% of the scoring he produced at Sacred Heart then he will be a weapon. After the 14' class graduates I feel great about our guards.
This team is already set up with multiple players who can handle the ball - Powell has shown he can deliver the ball into the paint, Walker was a primary ball handler in high school, Cale was a combo guard with length and can defend with above average athleticism, Gordon has been handling the ball in the 2nd unit in practice and now McKnight is a scoring guard who will have a year to learn the system and get his game under control.

Very different players. I think Kiss is better and would fit more smoothly into our rotation. McKnight is a more natural athlete.
Three parts of this inteview stood out:
First, he's 21-year-old. So he will play for the Pirates as an experienced and mature talent.
Second, I love that he's motivated to keep improving.
Third, Quincy must stop putting his smart phone near that area if he plans on having kids one day. Here's just one of many comments from legit researchers:
Some research in the laboratory has suggested that exposure to radiation that is produced by a cell phone may lower a man's sperm count and motility. This is an area of ongoing research, and we do not have a definite answer to this question yet. Until we know for sure, we recommend that men who are actively trying to cause a pregnancy keep their cell phone as far as possible from their pelvic area.

Bottom line: Why take a chance?
Since he worked out with our players and the coaches observed he is worth the risk for our last scholarship.
As for not playing defense he was the show at sacred heart he will come off the bench for us and if he doesn't play defense he will not play.Also I anticipate his shot selection will improve with SHU also.
