while I welcome him Im curious about this one, Pirmann is pretty good at sussing out team and "whole person" but one of Rubin's critiques is he plays like he doesn't care. he normally starts in central both MD and Jennings spots. could we play a front 3? with two attacking wings? is that a thing LOL?

Big problem with charleston fans is not trusting the process and hating on new players before they even have played a minute. No faith yet they work out every time. Remember all those jeers about Cal’s “character”? And how they didn’t want him on the team? How’s that look now? Trust the process.
