I agree. I trust that Matta wouldnt sign a recruit unless he had talent, but we should be honest with ourselves. It would be great if PJ turned out to be a major contributer, but I'll be fine with the signing as long as he can provide mediocre play to let Butler take a rest here and there.

Agree. Not trying to dis PJ in any way (particularly sight unseen) but with the loss of Conley a backup PG was such a critical need (take another look at the roster to see just how critical) we had to bring in someone - and given that it was for PG it almost had to be a JUCO (Frosh PGs that can contribute are rare and not available this late in the game and a transfer would be here too late to address the need). That TM chose to invest three years rather than go for the more traditional and more experienced Junior JUCO is a positive statement about Hill. But all we really know is that he was the best available of a limited group that we know nothing about.
It also says that TM was as surprised as any of us that Conley turned out to be a one and done player. I can't imagine what we would be looking at if Butler had in fact made the jump.
