Rahon

[eepstein0]

You guys sound like a broken record. I heard the same shit when Donahue took over and all those current roster players and recruits coming in left, "who needs them, they sucked anyway" "the Don is the best, he knows what he is doing" and on and on. How did that work out?????

The top three jobs of a new coach are:

1. Keep the players that are currently on the team.
2. Make sure the current recruits stay committed (no worries here for Christian).
3. Recruit new players and fast.

Donahue was 1-2, Christian so far is 1-1 with the one win being by default.

Assuming he's close to 100%, Daryl Hicks is a very good player.

Classic idiotic statement from eepstein. Tell me eepstein, for the last three years or so all you've done is complain about Donahue's shitty recruiting and the fact that there are one or two ACC caliber players on the team. How do you come to this conclusion that Hicks is a very good player???? You are a dope and don't know what you are talking about as usual.

I still haven't been wrong about any of this talent. I look forward to the Fall when everyone says "Jeez this Hicks guy is decent"

AAU is really, really weird.

The kid is underrated because people remember baskets more than they do assists. I don't understand how it's supposed to be a good thing that we're likely losing one of the better players on the team. Check out the stat sheet if you don't think he's any good though. His assist to turnovers ratio was really good, and he gave you more minutes than anybody else but Hanlan. I realize everybody wants a fresh start, but what kind of recruit is going to be impressed visiting the morgue for a game next year if the team can't even keep things close in the first half?

8 wins. That's the only stat sheet that matters. None of these players will be relevant in rebuilding.

2-wins. That's the only stat sheet that matters. None of these players will be relevant in rebuilding. - circa April 2013 talking about FB players transferring with the arrival of Daz

8 wins with Donahue. How many wins would we have had with a decent coach? If everybody thinks the Don underachieved, then the talent on the team must be decent.

If Hanlan stays and Hicks turns out to be good, Rahon leaving is not a big deal. I would, however, like to hold on to as many decent players as possible. Injuries happen and you want the team to be as competitive as possible every year.

[twballgame9]

Now that Anderson is gone, I don't think it matters much. Had Anderson stayed, you might have a point.

As for HJS' point, well, this ain't football.

[pick6pedro]

Citing the 8 wins in a vaccuum is pretty weak, even for a girlfriend.

[Endless Mike]

So if both leave, is Sam Donohue the starting PG?

Next year will be a good time

Any student who shows up before tipoff will be able to walk on the team and play PG!

Yeah, I know, and I am a proponent of the fact that Don was a disaster and they were good enough to be a bubble team. It's just nicer than pointing out that these players aren't good enough to do more than win 18 games in one season before all of them are gone at once. And in the case of this team, that presumed that ALL of them stayed. Anderson being gone eliminates the only rebounder on the team.

Look what happened when a couple of guys hung around for the Don's first season. End of the day, Rahon being good enough to contribute for one season to a CBI team doesn't excite me much. In fact, it excites me so little I couldn't be bothered to come up with a decent argument.

I'm glad we're measuring teddy's projected 8 wins as if it were fact. even though there's going to be a far easier OOC schedule and a coach that isn't Steve Donahue. keeping Joe Rahon should be a priority... he's an ACC player. I am surprised (for some reason) that there are people that don't care if he leaves.

[flyingelvii]

But if we tank we might get next year's Wiggins or Parker.

Joe Rahon is a + offensive player, imo. He's the most creative and instinctive assist player on the current roster. His shooting looked improved at the beginning of the year, that is until he was benched for the start of the UConn game for being late to the bus---which struck me as odd because Joe Rahon probably has never been late for anything basketball related---he's the consummate gym rat. If he ever develops a decent tear-drop floater, he could be quite the dual threat on his penetrations. Plus, he likes having the ball in his hands in key situations.

On the defensive end, he is a fairly pesky on-the-ball defender---and as a freshman his help was pretty solid---he took his fair share of charges. But, this past year, his help (like the rest of the team) was noticeably a step or two late, but he still was in a position so many times to at least go for a strip on a layup right under his nose, but instead he did the ol' ole. Now---here's the thing---when you play for a coach who benches you when you foul---you don't take those fouls for the team---and this is one of the big changes that the new staff has to make, especially when you do not have a shot blocker to defend the rim on a consistent basis.

Where Rahon struggles most is in transition---but could improve in that area once the team is defending and rebounding better and getting quicker outlets. And, like the rest of the team, he needs to make a much stronger effort to stop and/or turn the ball in defensive transition.

Rahon would be smart to stay at BC---he knows what his competition is---and could endear himself to the new staff if he went out there and busted his butt. The new staff---and their focus on "culture identity plays"---could help Rahon take his game to a higher level. he might have to adapt to being a 6th or 7th man---but, he still could be looking at quality minutes.

I wasn't. And you were quoting me, little guy.

One thing that Rahon is NOT: a fool.

Why would he stay with our loser program, where we play to ushers and vendors, and where they will be lucky to get 10 wins, with no tourney prospects?

He has the option to go to a school with not only better hoops success, but also a place with an unsullied rep in the college sports world.

Good decision, Joe, and every success to you wherever you land.

yes... well the world needs ditchdigger too

[BCEagles25]

Adios, mediocre!

Who gives a shit if Rahon leaves? Oh crap, we might win 6 instead of 8. You guys are short bus eligible.

so, you're saying that if Joe Rahon transfers, our last years win total will go down to 6? we're still talking about last year, right?

No 8 wins was last year with everyone, 6 wins was next year without Anderson and Rahon
