Definitely. I just wonder how everything truly went down because it was extremely odd to have him and his parents on campus only to have someone commit at his position while they’re on the visit.
Agree 100%, Carr fits Pope’s offense much better. He could easily become our version of Grant Nelson.
I agree with this. I don't believe that he had any real intention of NOT following Danny Sprinkle.
We didn’t miss on him, he missed on us.
I was having trouble seeing osobor playing the 4. Carr seems to be a better fit.
He would have been good but a money to production ratio Garrison is better and afforded us the opportunity to land Robinson, which we did.
What went down was his agent got word his old coach got him a 2 million dollar deal somehow and the coaching staff was like hell nah. They were like well we have a McDonalds AA ready to commit with a year experience in the Big 12 and he only costs like 25% of that so bye.
I agree, almost every analyst I’ve seen has been gushing over this kid and how good he can be. I really hope he is.
I believe the big guy would’ve taken us to another level. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with our roster but I’d be lying if I said we wouldn’t be much better with him. I just hope, wish, and pray that Garrison takes that next big leap in production that we are gonna need from him.
And Osobor would be here if we'd over payed for him too.
I don’t believe we “missed” on him . I believe it was predetermined he was going to join his former coach at Washington State. They scheduled that visit last so they could get their best NIL offer and allow Washington State to match it. I think CMP sensed this and when he wouldn’t commit on his visit decided that ship had sailed and taking Garrison instead was a no-brainer.
He went to the Washington Huskies. There's a Washington State Cougars. So just pointing that out to you.
Exactly, Garrison has the much higher ceiling anyway.
Me either but obviously something like that went down, either that or they got the feeling he was using us to up his value and took the dude who wanted to be here. Garrison may turn out to be a better player, as he is still developing.
Oh I have no doubt he’s going to be great
He’s going to be a beast this year no matter what some want to say. The guy will probably average 20-10 this year. Now I love who we have, and we absolutely did the right thing by not paying him anything near what he wanted. Still for a fair price he would’ve been great here.
Yeah, I mean he's a good player. But 2M good? Nah. The face Washington of all places shelled that out is ridiculous. They aren't going to do squat most of the year. That's one of the most expensive "look at us" kinda situations I've seen in awhile.
Definitely agree. You would think his family would want him to play somewhere where he could’ve been seen more and have a bigger stage. Kids can make it anywhere nowadays so maybe he surprises everyone. I honestly think we hear about him though out the season though. We’ll see.
