you're kidding, right? the guy was a dead eye shooter. man, we could his him now.

I think Sendy really liked him from day 1. When he likes someone he puts up with some crap. Walker comes to mind. I think Roberts would probably be the 3rd guard starting and we'd see less of Beck on the wing. Then fewer minutes for Jordan and Hernandez. Plus there's a chance Jacobs isn't here. I believe he committed after Roberts transfered.

He wanted to be the man at Kent. When Pippen decided to stay he left. If he had stayed, one or more of the Jacobs, Jordan, Smith combo would not be here.

Jordan signed in early signing period ... Jacobs was next followed by Smith. Jacobs was never a scorer in juco, which indicates to me Smith was the replacement for Roberts. ... In the end, the big benefactor for Roberts leaving was Gio, at least in terms of minutes. Nuga clearly not a PG ... Roberts (like Booman) could have been a decent PG starter leading to a primary 3/gd rotation of Nuga, Roberts and Jacobs w/Gio getting leftover minutes. In the end, probably worked out the best overall for Kent w/o him.
