I just imagine how the Yard would be if that happened here. Then I realize it did, to football. And pretty much much no one cared.
UConn FB didn't have a coaching change either when two dozen players hit the transfer portal just a few months ago, numbnut....except Wichita hasn't had a coaching change, but you keep beating that dead horse...

The coaching change was three seasons ago! Three! The statute of limitations of using Diaco as cover for HCRE's failure has long since past....if you don't think the Diaco --> Edsall switch was at the heart of the transfer onslaught (and also not to mention the landing spots)...

And lose the ellipses. It makes you look stupid.
Losing recruits to Elon?
When he was playing, I thought his on-ball defense was as good as anyone's in the country.
He really left everything out there on defense and it was great to watch. Unfortunate that everything turned out the way it did and he just wasn’t able to put it all together at UConn but I hope he becomes the guy he was supposed to be at Wichita State.His defense (as well as CVs) was the main reason we were in those games which we ultimately blew during the mid season stretch. Yeah he made some horrific plays (as well as CV) during those games but they never were carried over to the other end. Most of those games we lost with a lead or tied in the stretch, were fairly low scoring thanks to the defense. The reason we won games down the stretch of the year were because he and CV made better decisions and made shots period. The defense was always there and much like Boat (not quite as good) he made the PG often start the offense at the hash mark rather than where the PG wanted to start the O.
I hope CV does a great job at WSU and enjoys his season because it was tough on him here.
Or better yet he can bring his clown act to the west coast. Thanks Hey Adrien! for that post. That truly is worthy of the term Clown boy.Well, now that he's in the Pac-12, he doesn't need to worry about seeing many fans in league games.

That's nice to say and a nice way to remember him but it really isn't accurate. Over his last 7 games he averaged 6 points, 2.4 assists, and shot 39% fg.But he did put it together and was a major reason we ended on such a high note. His last 6-7 games were exactly what we expected more consistently from him all year. I will remember his finish here, he and CV were tremendous to get us 19 wins.

... and he looked as if he was having a blast. There's something about playing with enthusiasm that elevates your game.And all the pieces came together for Whaley finally.
What a completely backasswards reply.People love revisionist history.
In February/March games...
Isaiah Whaley 10.3/8.1/0.8 w/ 2.5 blocks
James Bouknight: 17.7/5.3/1.8 w/ 36% from 3.
Christian Vital: 20.5/5.2/2.6 and w/ 90% from the FT line
You're looking at the reason we won games late in the season. Christian elevated his game to be all-conference level. Bouk realized he is an NBA talent. And all the pieces came together for Whaley finally.
Rique during that same span: 7.0/2.2/2.3 (39% from the field) -- and 0.9 STL despite this heralded defense.
Before Bouk improved we didn't have a go-to second scoring option which made everything so much harder for CV. We couldn't defend the post with Carlton playing the bulk of the minutes at the 5, and our post touches were leading to 3+ TOs a game.
He is a great guy, with a ton of heart who loves the game of basketball. But AG just wasn't good enough to compete on our level.
