Listed as strong forward. He was everything but strong. Is it me or does our program seem a little unstable? Cant seem to keep players, not that all of them need to be kept, but it seems we have struggled to build from one year to the next.Quote:

It is not just you. However, Duruji was better and a healthy Bracey and Duruji is a lot to build on going forward. Maybe we need some more Maryland kids.Quote:

Should always be attempted.Quote:

Totally irrelevant. "Academic scholarship" students generally cannot transfer and get the same "scholarship" at a different institution; student-athletes can.Quote:

No it's not irrelevant when a statement is made how their transfer rate is lower than the general student transfer rate -Quote:

I would like to know - how many of these transfers attended two or more "high schools or prep schools"
How many of these transfers "shopped" AAU programs
It is a multi-BILLION dollar business now and it's all about MINE or WHAT SHOULD BE MINE
It is about committment
I will add this -
I'm totally against the argument of a college athlete being paid for their "likeness or image"...
How much is that "image" worth without the NAME on the jersey?
Can someone answer that question?
I Johnnie B or Suzie Q Smith's image worth ANYTHING without the KANSAS, DUKE, GONZAGA, ALABAMA or ETAL's name on the jersey?
No it's not
And if it does have some "potential value" isn't it being paid for on a DEFERRED BASIS when they go pro or attempt to go pro?
Without the EXPOSURE provided for and PAID for through the association with the NAME ON THE JERSEY what potential value does it have
IF the individual is so valuable go pro right after high school and find out what that VALUE is - 99,999 out of 100,000 times it is not much
Parents and handlers would let these kids ENJOY the RIDE and grow from it - the kids would be better served for life in general which is NOT FAIR and is FULL OF PITFALLS AND CHALLENGES
No, actually it isn't (although some of us would, perhaps, like for it to be).Quote:
