I wouldn't even try to guess what Matta might do next. If you have never heard of Hill I wouldn't even try to "expect" what he might be getting next.

He may not be this prized recruit that flew under the radar, but rather the best option this late.

I hope i'm wrong and he contributes to the extent that Je'kel did. Or for that matter, I hope he exceeds expectations to the extent that Conley did.

In any event, Guard depth was a huge concern, and this signing fills a big need, and takes some of the pressure off of Lighty to play the point in a pinch.
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.

Great pick up by Matta and the Bucks. Sounds like a solid point G that can really play some defense. Depth is always a great thing. Especially when the refs start blowing their whistles constantly.

After reading some comments on this verbal, it is obvious our opinions range from suprise to skeptical. It is obvious now that the staff felt they needed to get an additional PG and it seems that Hill may be what they call a "late bloomer", he has 3 years to develop but he has just a short off season to develop enough to give Butler a blow for 7-10 minutes a game. I think that will be his role.

Personally, I like players who have had to earn everything given to them.....they seem to always be fan favorites.
