The reaction to Rasir transferring was more surprise in hearing that he had been asked to leave. It was the first time we had heard anything negative about him as a teammate.

Honestly, it worked out well for both parties. Rasir can't defend like TJ demands and his situation at Gonzaga is a better fit. Gonzaga is an offensive oriented team and he's surrounded by really good talents that allow him to be the 3rd or 4th option. He plays off the ball more and his shooting splits went way up.
There were TJ critics that were pretty pissed about it. Especially when it started to leak on how the decision was made and that the opinion of his teammates were involved. Maybe it wasn't a majority, but there was a very vocal minority of TJ haters that liked to point to the Bolton stuff to criticize TJ until the team did so well it forced them to shut up about it.

I actually felt kinda bad for Hunter last night. He looked lost for the majority of the game and got yanked in crunch time
I dont, he should could have stayed with the guy who knows what he's doing in the gym, instead he went with the out of shape, fake tough guy who beats up women.

I'm honestly not even mad he transferred, we are better off. It just rubs me the way he departed though and out of all the blue blood offers he got he picked the absolute worst program out of all of them.

He and his brother referred to us as a broke ass program, feeding negitive recruting pitches to other schools who used that against us.

All that is public info or verified by people who know(not premium info, btw. Need to make that clear)
Can you link the "broke ass program" and the negative recruiting stuff? I'm curious.

I guess taking a pic in front of the statue of the Iconic Johnny Orr with the horns sign is being as ass. If I left a job I wouldn't be posing in front of the president of the companies portrait and giving him the finger.

Are you going to own up to being duped by a ****** photoshop job?

Gullibility runs rampant.

I was disappointed when Tyrese left. And when Fred left. And when Barnes chose UNC.

Don't hate any of them. Appreciate what we've got. But yeah, kick UT's ass! Whether Hunter plays or not.
