I think the answer is that taking Bailey affected how many guards we took in this class, which is why you see us telling a top-30 PG, "thanks, but no thanks." Bailey being able to play some PG only further qualifies that.
Bailey may not have affected the total number of kids we take in the class because it is all fluid and you're playing the odds that there is movement in the spring, but he definitely affects the positional numbers. We can't take a class of all guards. We need a big man, and we are apparently willing to oversign by one to get the right guy.
My thoughts exactly. 3 is 3, 4 is 4, 5 is 5...never said, “taking Bailey won’t charge our positional needs”.
Can’t predict the future. Can only assess decisions based on the options at that time. It doesn’t bother me too much if it were true that Bailey impacted the ability to take Hayes. At that time it made sense to take a transfer. IIRC the only debate was him vs the Kansas guardI think the answer is that taking Bailey affected how many guards we took in this class, which is why you see us telling a top-30 PG, "thanks, but no thanks."

Actually I also have you quoted as saying “Barnes won’t oversign” and then later on that we will oversign by 2...so way to really cover your bases
If we don’t push hard for another PG the writing is on the wall that Bailey took that spot
Here’s another good one...
You admit in the same series of posts Springer counts as a PG...
Well here we are pursuing another PG, and you can’t say it’s because of Burns departure because you’ve already claimed that Burns departure is why we are pursuing a frontcourt piece for a final spot.
Yep it’s cut and dry. Very cut and dry we need this guy badly since Burns left is with a void in the post. Simple math for us intelligent ones
