Noticed Washington has closed his @jellyfam_Dimes twitter account and deleted all his Instagram posts. Not sure what that means - if anything at all.

Interesting that we are loading up on point guards. Next couple recruits need to be bigs or stretch forward types.

Washington is going to have to fight for his job. Pitino has taken a couple of guards that can shoot the three and drive to the hoop. Jelly had some good games and a few bad ones against MAAC level teams. RP is going to expect better than that.

Think of how many times IW drove to the hoop and then kicked the ball out to people who could not put the ball in the ocean with open shots. I would expect IW to average 8 assists a game next season. Get him two athletic SF's who can also play some 4 spot and at least 1 big who can rebound, finish around the rim and has good hands. We don't need any point forwards... let the guards run the offense.

I hope IW remains at Iona. He can be an incredible player and leader. You don't get 600K+ followers without being a leader. And he's already shown us glimpses of what he can be on the court.

Agree, We had enough talent last year to compete for first place, but without the discipline and leadership on and off the court we ended up in 7th. No way, Cluess or Pitino would allow much of the nonsense that happened on the court or on the sidelines this year. PS I don't mean that as a swipe against Coach Arnold, I wish him the best and thank him for filling a void of not having a head coach.

IW came here because of Cluess. He reportedly developed a self-esteem problem and was also struggling being away from his family. He then walks thru the door, loses Cluess and is the new guy (with a huge rep) walking into the locker room with two seniors who already were tagged with the leadership role. Tough situation to walk into.
Next season this will be IW's team. Surround him with players who can finish and a couple of 3 point gunslingers and he has everything he needs to be the player he was projected to become.

It would be great if Jelly shows the brilliance that made him NYS Mr. Basketball. He certainly has the ability for 8 assists a game given the right supporting cast. But I still think RP is going to force him to win the job. The point guard needs to be a leader both on and off the court. He has to play with confidence and under control on offense and defense. If he does we’ll be in great shape at the point.
