Re: let's talk '18
The alternative is we allow ourselves to be consumed with what-ifs and withdraw our offer. Then we will be back to "we haven't landed a good PG since TJ" mode again. From the video I have seen on this kid, he has enough of a well-rounded game to be a great college point guard for us even with a lost...
