James Anacreon to Transfer

[ABC]

We hardly knew thee.

I don't think it will be Wiggins, my money is on Oriaki from UCONN.

I heard Oriaki wants to stay out East

It is too bad. But we could all see it coming. The guy appeared to have a lot of talent unfortunately he played out of control. Maybe some other coach somewhere else can harness that talent.

I hope we don't lose anyone else. It seems like we have been losing a lot of players in the last few years.

Players that weren't going to get the playing time they wanted/needed.

Needed an open scholarship for perry Ellis since Danny manning went to Tulsa

Hope we have one for Frankamp and keep him away from QT or any other hot dog joint.

I choose to think of it as the annual talent upgrade.

So you have no issue with the revolving door? I happen to have issue with it and am not afraid to say so. Perhaps there should be as much effort put into player development as there is into recruiting over the current players. Yes, college athletics is a huge business, but the kids are still people who are theoretically there to get an eductation. Everyone is elated when the coach gets a contract extension and the coaches demand long term security. Why aren't the players afforded the same luxury?

Since you where obviously in the meeting with James and the coach how did this go down?

[pinstripers]

Kinda like getting D's when you are on an acedemic skollie and they take it away?

Just throwing this out there that if you don't know the story, then don't assume things. Things aren't always as cut and dry as it seems, and I'm surprised James didn't leave the team prior to the season with Ede. There is absolutely nothing that this coaching staff did wrong with James. Sometimes people just aren't ready to put in the effort that is required to play for major D-1 teams.
