Braylon is staying, will be top 5 next year

Probably not- he can get 2MM a year to learn the game and improve going in the first round.

Reaches. When I say success, I'm talking about something that looks like we made the wrong move letting them go. That UMass team was awful.

Neither is a reach. If you were arbitrarily defining what "success" is in your eyes you could have easily stated that in your original post.

Being a key rotational piece on a Final Four team is a success. Being the main offensive option on an A-10 team is a success. As noted above it was good enough to get him on a G league roster

Can we think of anyone that transferred out of here that amounted to anything?

Yes. Josh Carlton started for a Houston team that spent most of the year in the top 5. That is absolutely amounting to something. But we had Sanogo who beat him out and he had no intention of playing 12 minutes a game as a back up.

On the road again - Cooley seeing the floodgates open. Our guy is taking the AJ Storr path it appears.

Two seasons of minimal production, might be time to drop down a level

I think so. He average about 5 pts/game on 20 minutes. Dropping down a level to get more playing time and against good level competition, but below high major competition is the way for him to go. Best of luck to him as long as he isn't playing against UConn.

In his limited minutes at UConn it looked like he belonged. He needs to figure some stuff out.

He needs to stop transferring

 

[Deepster]

Can't think of a single one.

Honestly, when a kid transfers out, I literally think "Good. If he doesn't want to be here, he's not UConn material". Like Ahmad Nowell. If that kid didn't want to earn his minutes here, good riddance.

Unless he goes to a school that tells him he’ll be the guy, it’ll be harder.

Georgetown has a top recruit coming in at his position which is probably why he’s leaving.

How many is that for Georgetown now? Four? Five? What is Cooley doing?
