So by my count they've added 4.5 skill guys over last year, lost one, and brought in a coach who's talking about an entertaining, high tempo game. I can't wait.
It's likely not a spin based on when this signing occured. However, it likely has the realism lense put on it from Feaster as well. I'm sure Feaster would pick Parise over Hudler every day of the week, but hopefully Feaster also realized Parise was close to a 0% chance, so he realistically targeted Hudler.

I'm impressed he got it done.
