I think Bracey has too much pride in repping Tech to do that, tbh. But maybe Im just going off his tweet after the loss the other night. He said he felt he let the whole city of Ruston down. He was very upset with himself after the game, cried on his way off the court.
I don’t think he would up and leave with that kind of emotion.
This at least opens some spots for us, so thats positive. I will miss AD if he leaves though.
We also signed SG Xaiver Armstead (JUCO) so we should be full. Which is bad because we need some BIGS.
My count we have 9 guards; 3 Forwards + 1 walkon & 1 Center who never plays.
According to Verbal Commits - we are recruiting JUCO SF & PF.
Could easily replace McKinley.
Thanks for doing this because I think I am done with this program. The apathy and incompetence from President, Biggest Booster, AD and the coaching staff has finally beaten me down. There are a lot more important things in life I can invest my time and money in.
Keep up the good fight.
So, over the course of 5 years, we have lost
Xavian Stapleton
Omar Sherman
Jalen Harris
Jy’lan Washington
Merrill Holden
Dayon Griffin
Langston
Duruji
Something ain’t right at the circle K.
Did I miss anyone?
Stapleton transferred to go to NBA. Worked out well.
Sherman flunked out.
Harris got yelled at in practice to be a team player and quit. Gave up 1.5 years on the court. Maybe it works out.
Washington transferred to MEAC for more PT.
Holden scored 2 PPG in 11 min at Iowa State.
Griffin scored 4.6 PPG in 17 min a game as a senior at UCF. He's in Big Dance this year.
Langston will end up going to lesser program.
Duruji is following Skinn to Seton Hall.
Those are the results of all those guys.
How does our situation stack up to other schools?

konkol is probably carefully studying that transfer list to identify short guards who have no offers (as we speak).
