Here's some scuttlebutt gleaned from Pitt insiders...
McGowens, Johnson and Toney all wanted the ball. Capel wanted Champagnie to get the ball. McGowan left, then it was relayed to Capel that Johnson (PG) and Toney (SG) were deliberately not getting Champagnie the ball, which Capel saw for himself while reviewing film.
Johnson's dad apparently fashions himself as a Lavar Ball type, and thinks his son is the star, or should be. Capel didn't agree. Mutual decision that Johnson should leave immediately.
The car that Hugely "stole" was apparently his girlfriend's, but the girl's parents actually owned it and reported it stolen. At some point Hugely put stolen plates on it which complicated matters. There are rumors that a teammate gave him the stolen plates. Capel is undecided as to whether Hugely will be back next season.
Toney missed a game due to concussion protocol. The concussion was apparently due to a fight between him and Champagnie because Toney had sex with Champagnie's girlfriend. After Johnson announced he was leaving, Toney didn't think twice about leaving himself.
There is great concern that Champagnie will bolt as there isn't much of a team left around him, and the beneficiary will be St. John's.
Sounds like a fun place, eh?
