Zags: Mustapha Heron transferring

[Vancat]

Doesn't matter, the dude don't wanna come here.

 

[Horatio]

I'd redshirt Whaley, give him a year to bulk up and work on his game if you don't want to run anyone off.

It’s a reasonable idea but I don’t think that “opens” a scholarship.

 

[Horatio]

I think he’s coming here and all the additional talk and visits is just the two parties feeling the need to go through the process.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Geez, why does he hate us so much?

I blame Calhoun for not recruiting Ryan Gomes.

Drummond had no opening if you remember. Things got worked out.

Yeah, bad chemistry underperforming team, post-season ban the following year, and a less than distinguished ending to JC's career. True, not all are related, but they did all happen.

 

[Waquoit]

There are 2-3 "Ollieistas" left out of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who visit this site on a regular basis. One would glean the opposite from reading your posts.

Drop the embarrassing victim complex and move on.

He was just answering a question for cryin' out loud. You reformed Ollieistas are worse than reformed smokers.

Anyone who thinks Heron is sitting on the pot of money after one more season that Drummond was is stupid.

I look forward to your continued snowflakery.

If players like Heron aren't giving us a look because of the conference, when he grew up in Connecticut, then that's not good. And I know that's not a recent development as it relates to Heron, but much of Hurley's appeal is predicated on his being able to deliver some of the regional players - even if it's one guy every three years - that Ollie didn't. For as bad of a job as Ollie did, people would have felt a lot better about it if he had better players. If Hurley's choosing from the same pool of players Ollie did his last couple classes, he'll have to coach his tail off to see the round of 32.

The more you win, the better players you have a chance with, in general. Some of it will take time, though Hurley might prove that wrong with his 2019 class idk.

But these late transfer/decommit types don't tell us that much imo. We say recruiting is fluid, but these situations are positively gaseous.

Ollie is “unproven” in running a program. Wow! Just Wow.

Mullins got the Johnnies job to sell a few tickets. Hiring a former star player with little or no coaching experience is rarely a successful move. Both Mullin and Ollie are fine examples.

Examples of what? Winning a national championship?

freescooter doesn't recognize the 2014 championship. He may have been in a coma for the entire season.

Sounded to me at media day that williams is more likely.

 

[superjohn]

I think champs just used the wrong word, we all know it's proven he couldn't run a program, it's why he got fired.

KO is definitely proven in running a program. It's just proven to be terrible

 

[whaler11]

I think Champs has said KO did a terrible job coaching
The thing you and some others have to grasp is the fact that KO is gone and beating a dead horse is asinine
Stop the skipping record

Technically he’s not gone....

I blame Calhoun for not recruiting Ryan Gomes.

While we may not agree with the rationale, Calhoun has addressed this on a number of occassions indicating he chose Okafor over Gomes. If that is true, it is hard to argue.

Only because Michael Bradley gave up his scholarship. Presumably it was a voluntary decision. Bradley also transferred out after that year.

 

[Huskyforlife]

All of you suck.

That was a false report. Andre walked on and paid his own way that year. Wasn't a big deal for him.

Totally worth 17 pages.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I dont know guys I think there's still a chance we get him.

Exactly. As soon as he walks on their campus, enrolls in a summer course, he will decommit and sign with UConn

People were told this over 10 pages ago, boneyard gonna boneyard.

@AntG168 you do know he's talking about you, right?

I don’t feel like this is over. I feel a few more twist and turns coming

When do St. John's summer classes start?
