Wow, the kid has one good game and now he's Larry Bird and every coach he's ever had before JC is a "idiot?!" Trust me, NO ONE wanted him coming out of FF, so maybe the last idiot did him a favor? He wasn't getting paid to do favors for players. And nobody is saying he's Larry Bird, just that he had his best game in college in a very different role. One that this coach discovered and was able to utilize in 6 months. But, yes, let's see what happens the rest of the season. I think the point is he wouldn't be having a chance like this with either of his past 2 coaches.

I think both FF and Siena (JP) tried to use Degnan as a 4 - a power 4. He’s really a big that needs to play on the perimeter. JC is just putting Degnan in a better spot and thereby giving him a better shot at succeeding. Degnan s finally getting run and he’s playing where he appears to be the more comfortable. It’s up to him to prove JC made the right choice!
Look it’s only 2 games. A lot can happen as the season goes on....everyone should chill and enjoy the ride. I believe things are looking up!

As much as you want to spew hate at our JP, without his input, this kid would be working for the state right now, instead of being the next Larry Legend.

Again, no Larry Legend, but a whole lot better than how he was used the past 4 years. You can call it hate if you want, but it can also be called 'TRUTH'. And if you consider it a favor that JP 'FREED' him from FF, OK. So maybe he could tell the future and was really recruiting for JC - because it was evident that JP certainly didn't know how to maximize his potential.

JP didnt FREE him, Johnson did when he took away his scholarship. I said JP was the only D-1 coach to give your new golden boy a second chance. He had STAC written all over him.

Guys, we have who we have. What we have seen so far is beyond promising and definitely convincing that JC knows how to coach, how to motivate, how to maximize what he has, and how to put kids in a position to win - where we were in Providence... Let's just enjoy what we have and see where it leads - definitely up the stairs out of the basement with some hoping for a tour of the penthouse....

Trust me, NO ONE wanted him coming out of FF, so maybe the last idiot did him a favor? well that is doubly on Patsos then... he was in zero position to do anyone any favors in regards to locking up scholarships... esp for a kid who needed a red-shirt year..... I never saw much in him, but he has shown he can play a roll and shoot some.... esp on this team which is lacking in a lot of areas.
