Opens up another scholly but hurts depth a bit unless the plan on keeping Kiapway at PG

I guess this sucks, yet is ok. The bigger issue for me is Whit picked Smith over Davis for the back up minutes and the end result is they both leave.
Perhaps this will cajole Whit into looking for a REAL pg sooner rather than later, but my guess is he'll just leave kiapway at backup pg, which to me limits his impact. I know we're on a few good PG in the 2017 class, along with some really good bigs.
Overall, a bad read by Whit on taking Smith.

When you're not starting and not satisfied with a premier program like ours, where do you find a place to land?

There were those who objected when, in the preseason, I referred to our 2015/16 point guard situation as "the result of total recruiting failure."
"I know we're on a few good PG in the 2017 class, along with some really good bigs."
Well, Herman, who ARE these bigs? Or are you going to play coy like the Kid?

Also - forcing Kiapway into the backup point guard role is certainly not ideal. I would rather have Francis concentrating on shooting threes until his arm falls off. But I'm hoping that Persons backed up by Kiapway is a million times better than Kiapway backed up by Smith.

Don't get too excited yet. But be hopeful.

This actually hurts next years depth a lot more than some here want to admit.

We know Whit has the in home with Hazen next week. Unable to find anything about Hollywood or anyone else for 2016. Guessing a 5th year guard might become a priority now. The bad luck with jucos ought to scare whit from that
