My Take on Whitehead.....Cooney....13-14 Season

On talent alone it would only make sense to continue the pursuit of Isaiah however there are factors that really make it unlikely he will ever wear Orange...given the current roster along with Kaleb they would have 5 guards in Cooney/Ennis/Patterson/Gbinije and Kaleb - you would have to assume that would severly impact the amount of PT Whitehead would recieve here and it just seems like it would be Dion 2.0 where he struggles with that fact in year 1 and the PT thing ultimately leads him to a different program. By all accounts the kids in the class of 2015 are on a different level and those targets are worth saving the scholarship slot for - Richardson is a 2/3 type player with Jones a 3 with Bryant/Diallo looking like solid forward prospects...Briscoe remains in the fray as well....the only way Whitehead works here is if another guard departs or transfers but we may not know that in time to secure the Whitehead commit - that being said to me this is an important year for Cooney - he is holding Whitehead slot so it is time to fill a roll and produce....Looking forward to a great season in the ACC - Fair and Grant will be unreal Ennis will do a terrific job and if we just get a little improvement from all the centers they sky is the limit - 3 point shooting is the big mystery for me. So Orange Nation what are your thoughts?
