I have a feeling had he stayed at BU, he would be nowhere near as effective as his Junior season. He really could have helped us out at the point, and likely would have still played 30+ minutes, and still manage 10 ppg.
But I just don't see us having finished Top 4 this season even with Sammy (regardless of coach).
Hated to see him go, but understand and back him up. And I don't want to come out and say it was a blessing in disguise that he left, but there are a few positives for the team looking ahead to the future:
1) More PT for SS and JC. (JC is playing more now because the other guys struggled; had Sammy stayed, SM, DSE, WL, JE get the bulk of minutes)
2) Walt might just be a more complete player and ready to handle whatever role he's caled on for next season.
3) (This is a stretch) We will certainly see improvement in GF's 2nd season!
