    Well, he did, and he showed he can’t handle it, which is why he just got recruited over by better lead guards, one being arenas who may end up being a lottery pick. And if it’s Florida it sure won’t be for money. Aberdeen left there and a starting position to go play on the bench at uk.

    Well, Aberdeen supposedly got $2M to go play on the bench at UK.

    Alright. Sure. It was never about playing PG. it was always about money and having a good cover story to hide that fact.

    He was nothing remotely similar to a PG at USC. He was Russell Westbrook…a ball dominant poor shooting volume scorer.

    But he does get to the line….

    Will be interesting to see where he ends up and what role he has

    Why you continue to ignore facts that multiple people have told you is something. And then you try to imply that it’s money again, when you don’t know the circumstances there.

    In today’s game being ball dominate is essentially the PG. it might not appear to be PG role, but that’s what his team wanted and Sean wasn’t taking the ball out of McKnights hands so Claude could control the offense (PG, or “ball dominate” as you put it).

    I watched about 10 minutes of USC all year so I can’t say what his role was, simply going off of what Hett said. Stats wise it seems like a typical Claude year. Good stats, some duds, and some boneheaded plays in crucial moments. When he left I said I don’t think he’s a winning player and a team can make the tournament with him being option A.

    I wonder if anyone will decide they want into the portal even though it's closed and sue in order to be let in.

    So you believed the cover story. I get that.

    Thank you for making my point. If he left to go play the bench at UK for that amount, what is Florida offering their starting guards? Futhermore, most of the programs that have that kind of money have their rosters pretty much set at this time. Claude didn't leave for money at X, and he isn't leaving this time for money either. He got recruited over this time around....should have stayed at X, but the people around him (like a lot of these kids) don't have a clue what's best for them---grass isn't always greener.

    Guess we still recruit high school kids. 7’0 center. Don’t know a thing about him.
