I think WJ might enhance it a little bit but there were a bunch from ISU before him.

McD ball. Painful. Slow. Lickliter Lite.

That was my point.

I'm not condemning the kid. I know what I heard about his actions before all that (or more accurately, what led up to it). Never had much doubt this was going to be the end result.

So I suppose my take is this. I don't know that he's a "bad kid". But I think he has attitude, and not necessarily a good one. He got suspended for it, and did what he needed to, to get back on the court because it was the only option he had at the time if he wanted to play. Now he as the option to transfer and it's what he's doing. So I'm not sure his attitude as factually changed at all.

I don't think that's unreasonable.

I can see that.

Bottom line, just another promising young player getting the hell out of town before his time. And I thought LE's rate of attrition was atrocious.

Let's blame Pomlee and Lucca.

Seems like he should have known that before he got here, or the coaches should have known that it would be a problem for him.

Does concern me a little that he said he was told it was going to be run-and-gun, and then it changed. If that is true, that is not going to help with future recruits. I wish they would have run a run-and-gun more often. Biggest problem was they could never rebound well enough to do that.

Don't know what else he could have said. Most of the good things were gone....closer to home, going pro, not enough playing time.......no one had used "style of play yet". Dendy and Oliver will probably not even give a reason.

Will they be announced tomorrow?

Well then he shouldn't have any problem, because we are clearly not a winning team!

Seriously though, the guy got recruited in after the 3rd year of the GMac system? It shouldn't have been a big shock what kind of system we run. I think this just sounds like another talking point thrown out there to protect the program. This makes about as much sense as Ham going 500 miles farther away to get closer to home, or Lucca jumping mid season for a great pro opporutnity in Europe where he now averages one minute per game.

If there be Ethiopian pirates, I sure don't see why there can't be Asian pirates. We'd probably do things more efficiently than caucasian pirates by using the power of math.

Wait....I'm confused. Math? Is that the A, B, C... thing?
