AAC Transfers In/Out

Seems fitting the least talented of all the brothers has the most to say about it

Note to the people who thought that Enoch, Vance, and Durham's transfers were caused by something horribly rotten going on with how Ollie ran the program: this is what it looks like when a coach's malevolence drives talented players away.

Which led to Dedric and K.J. -- who combined to average 31.5 points, 18 rebounds and 6.1 assists this season -- last week announcing a transfer. Early Monday, they committed to Kansas . And when I asked Keelon Lawson on Monday if Dedric and K.J. would still be Tigers if he were still a full-time assistant, he answered, "Yes. Of course." In other words, Smith's decision to demote Keelon Lawson cost Memphis two players Kansas can't wait to use to win another Big 12 title. And do you know how many top-100 recruits Smith's three full-time assistants have committed? Zero. Not one. But they are scheduled to soon host a prospect who is currently committed to a Division II school. And I'm not even making that up.

Isn't this tantamount to a "professional" payoff for what is supposed to be an amateur program. " We will agree to perform as scholarship athletes if you payoff my father with a professional conract" How is this not a blatant violation; especially when vocalizing like this?

That's wild. But at the same time you can't let a decent-at-best high school coach hold a historically good program hostage because his sons are good

Uh you certainly can. What's the marginal improvement on a new assistant vs. having the 2 Lawson's plus 2 future Lawsons?

Would a new assistant at Memphis bring in 4 top 100 level recruits on top of any that Keelon (besides his sons) could? Also note, you're burning Memphis circle bridges by the handling of this situation and hurting the program further.

Leverage exists. Lawson had it. Tubby refused it. Tubby feeling pain now. Is that "honorable?" Is that "courageous?" Sure, I guess. But it's also dumb.

You are the chief of false equivalencies.

That is almost the whole team. No wonder why they want tsam. It is going to be a team of walkons and tsam. Lol!

 

[WrenchFan69]

I'd guess back out to somewhere in the west. He looked pretty good at times but idk about PAC-12 level. Maybe a CAL State? GCU?

[King Husky]

Ah, what a surprise. A good player leaving USF.

Not that this impacts the balance of power in the AAC or anything...

East Carolina guard Elijah Hughes has announced he will transfer on Twitter.
