Full interview from Cnati
George: Yancy, people feel like he hasn't blossomed at all, hasn't gotten much better, hasn't become the force people expect him to be because of his..
MC: I don't know how fair that is. Who says he's supposed to be a force?
GV: I think he could be when I look at him...
MC: You been doing sports long enough to know there are a lot of guys that could be this or could be that. You know the challenge is to get them to where they are. At the end of the day, we are who we are. We have to try to get better every day. You look and say this guy, Edgar Sosa, could have been the best point guard in the Big East. Edgar Sosa, just tried to get better every year and has had a good senior year. That is the problem with the whole ranking system of recruits. It is hardest on a guy like Yancy. Because other guys don't have the expectation levels because they don't have the firve stars next to their name. That is the biggest problem. The star system doesn't exist like it does for a guy lke Yancy or even lance.
Lance, I don't know what is going to happen. My guess, Lance has a pretty good chance to be Freshman of the ear in the Big East. But you talk to certain people and it is what is wrong with Lance? It is because of expectation levels.
Yancy was not a dominant player at Withrow High School. He averaged seven rebounds a game. Check your stats.Yancy has been a guy that is a project. He has got talent but he is a project. He continues to be one. He is well aware of that. He challenges himself. Can you try to get him to continue to get better? That is part of the process.
