I’m 100% with you bro. Pryor did and does things that nobody else on our team can do. While I agree with some - that want to nit pick at his performance - that he did handle the ball and shoot more than he probably should. As has been stated multiple times.,, it was early in the season and we had yet to find out identity. He is a warrior and a team first guy and he will adjust and assume whatever roll necessary. He even said that he didn’t care if he started, and it was whatever was best for the team.Well, in my first sentence I did mention your comment that included wins and losses, so I did not fail.
As for Pryor, he performed in his brief time on the court like everyone else when it came to poor shooting percentage. The Cards were launching questionable 3 point shots all over the place.
It was very clear to me however, that Pryor was a huge benefit for the team, and his absence reduced Kelsey's offense and defense. There's no reason to believe that he wouldn't have improved like his teammates did and contributed to all those ACC wins.
Maybe Rooths would have played less minutes, and Traore wouldn't had to play out of position and contributed more than he did? Pryor isn't a world beater but if he had improved over the season like his teammates, Louisville would have been much tougher to defeat.
You also have to consider his performance before he became a Cardinal. He improved each season of his career and was poised to break out for a power 5 team. His stats for those 7 games are not a reflection of how good or bad his season would be. That is my opinion anyway.
Most Cards fans want him back because of his potential. A 6'11 dude who can play on the perimeter as well as underneath. How he reacts to the knee injury is the biggest question.
It wasn’t good. He will have to show something different or…better.Not liking what I am reading. Last pitched against NCST and took the loss. Went 2 innings, pitch count 50, 3 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks and zero strike outs.![]()
Everybody CAN shoot but not everyone should.
Isn’t Pryor a career 43% shooter and 30% from three? I don’t want to beat up one of our guys too much but that isn’t exactly “shooter” percentages.
I think it’s fake. Heard that Field of 68 tweeted it 1st and then took it down immediately.Not sure why we’d be going after another guard
When that happens I typically go to the home website. Clemson has it listed as Casen Murphy (LHP) starting for us against Aidan Knaak (RHP). Knaak is 6-0, 3.96 ERA.The UL media guide " Game Notes " have not been updated and are currently unavailable at https://gocards.com/sports/2025/2/6/2025-baseball-media-center which is unusual. Typically, starting pitches for both squads are listed a few days before the game.
