McCoy needs to be medically redshirted. Pats needs to be your starting SG.
If your freshman starts @ PG than this team is in a world of hurt. Or, Doh has pulled off a recruiting miracle. Which do you think?
I think that if he's that good, he would be attending Florida, Florida State, South Florida, UCF,
Florida International, Florida Atlantic, etc.

Does anyone know if Smith, Vilde & Pats have all been approved by admissions?

Dude, McCoy is already running. Why does he need a medical redshirt again? As for Jeremiah, he had offers at several of the schools you mention, namely the last 2.

He needs a year off. Trust me ! Both mentally & physically.

I like Pats off the bench as a change of pace and a "hopeful" bullseye shooter. Haynes is improving they say and maybe he is a readily capable 2 man, now. He has the size and hopefully improved all around offensive game. I like McCoy off the bench as he is not a true point and he is too small at the 2. Like Otis, his height doesn't compliment his skill set.

Having watched Pats play numerous times, it usually takes him a while to get into a flow.
I think he is much better starting. Just my opinion. Also, Haynes needs to learn how to score.
I'm afraid he doesn't have the scorers mental makeup & shows signs of Harpish like symptoms.
He does a good job on D but really needs to pick it up scoring wise for this squad to improve.
Could be the most important piece of the puzzle.

What about Clink?

Clink is going to be valuable. I think he played failry well late, just needs to work through his handle. If so, he can go at the basket a little more. He certainly proved he can be a capable scorer at times.

Clink & Luttman - I forgot about both of them. The news guys. Luttman needs to give more minutes. Clink will be a back up PG and in for quick offense.

He will be alright by the fall...he already has had a year off..mentally and physically. He would be a worse basket case if he had another year off.

Agree completely. The kid is more focused b/c of the injury then at any time since he arrived. If he's cleared physically, lets shake off the rust. My hope is in the down time he really works on his shot mechanics, visualization, release etc. If he can become a good shooter, it'll open up his game back up.

I think you guys have forgotten just how awful he was last season. His head was totally messed up.
The major knee issue combined with his mental makeup was a huge red flag imo.

You missed the point...he had a year off..... mentally, already. He wasn't really here. It doesnt matter anymore now.......

If Haynes improves his offense we could have improvement resulting from an additional scoring threat. Haynes was too hesitant on offense, needs to pull the trigger and know he won't be pulled for a miss.
Many times last year it come down to the feeling that at any given time we only had one offensive threat on the floor and the defenses adjusted accordingly.
