It’s just unreasonable to put lofty expectations on a GT. He’s saying that because of how well Travis played, but Travis came from another P5 school. It’s a big jump for everyone else, but it wasn’t for Travis. People are setting expectations because of situations that aren’t really comparable.
I’m sure if Sestina was going to Duke and Hurt was going to Uk, he wouldn’t type that. Hurt and Sestina don’t have similar games at all. Hurt is a big time shooter, Sestina has a bigger body who plays more down low, but can extend out.
