Message: [QUOTE="UConnMike04, post: 2144195, member: 1643"] I am in no way an insider, my only tie within the athletic dept is a friend who once played for the team in the mid 2000s, but he said that from what he's heard about Durham is that he was asked to leave. Very little work ethic, and was told by the staff he'd be better off elsewhere. As far as the others, I have no idea. Told him my concerns for the program, and he said that this happens more often than not and is pretty common and mentioned about how schools have 2-3 transfers or a de-commit all of the time, we just notice it more this year bc of this class' expectations and the year we came off of. While it's a lot at one time, it's not something that's rare or just local to our program. Also, he mentioned that the kids always say that it's their decision to leave when 9/10 times it's the coaching staff as people need to remember that scholarships are year to year, not 4 year contracts. Again, not saying the staff told all 3 and MAL to leave, but you can make a case that outside of Steve, one was asked and one was parental influence and not a shock and one wasn't even ever here.
