Darius McNeill would be a good player to have right now

[SchuellerClones]

I know he decommitted, but he would be a good addition to this years team.

12 PPG 3 RB 3 AST per game as the starting PG for CAL. CAL isnt a good team.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Don't want him, wouldn't take him, he can rot at Cal.

 

[casey1973]

He's not here. Time to focus on who is.

To the OP

If, if and buts were candy and nuts, what a merry Christmas we all would have.

 

[SCyclone]

Well, if we're playing that game, it would sure be nice to have Keenan Evans. Or Udoka Azubuike. Or James Daniel III.

This could go on all day, IYKWIM.

 

[VeloClone]

If I'm reading this right I think part of the point the OP is trying to make is that Prohm did have a better team planned with a little more depth where needed so lay off of the ol' ball coach.

Never was committed to ISU like McNeill was but McKinley Wright is a bigger miss, imo. Pretty sure ISU passed, iirc.

I'm glad we have another thread on this

OP, you are starting to sound like a Hok.

That is a valid point.

Didn’t we take Wigginton over him?

Hindsight, I think they would’ve played well together.

 

[heitclone]

So would a bunch of the guys who didn't come here. Would the OP please start a thread for every player Prohm offered that didn't come here. TIA

They would have been a great combo. Hopefully the staff can get a guard that is similar.

We need more threads about McNeill, they are so great and definitely not the same thing over and over.

 

[3GenClone]

He would have been a great addition to this years team, but he takes a roster spot away from one of the best HS recruiting classes we've ever landed. We knew this season was going to be rough, but things look to be trending better next season. I think this worked out well for everyone.

Cal is the worst P5 team in college basketball

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that McMeill wouldn't be putting those numbers up in the Big 12....

It wouldn't have mattered.

Yes and it was the right call. McNeil was committed and the staff wasn't taking 3 PG/Combo guards in the same class.
We have to remember context, McNeil asked out of his LOI in the summer so why it would be nice to have an additional ball handler (especially with NWB injury) the staff didn't have the need to June. No many options that late to add a contributor.
If McNeil wouldn't have committed early, then it is a good possibility Wright would have taken that roster spot and we would be watching that back court. Then likely Haliburton wouldn't be coming in next year... Lot of what ifs.

This is not hyperbole. It's real sauce.
