What was the length and athleticism like at Loyola? Surely not much different than he's had at OU. Krutwig certainly wasn't overly athletic, but he was smart and coached up well.
There are outliers everywhere......I mean we had Ernie Abercrombie at one time who may have been all of 6'4" playing inside but he was a better player than Hill in almost every possible way. Not to mention Loyola doesn't play in the Big 12 so you can get away with less length and less athleticism.
We have gone back and forth over this for days. Hill is a good player but he is NOT elite and he has limitations.....we want to improve, we need better players. I've already said I would willingly keep Hill but I would prefer him
A. coming off the bench for a better player
or
B. being more of a role player and not a guy we rely on to carry us.
If either of those things happen it means we are a better basketball team, which is the long-term goal for everyone of us on here.
But, him entering the portal means we simply use the scholarship to HOPEFULLY replace him with a better player. There are guys I PERSONALLY think are better players in the portal...hopefully we can get some of them.
