Uhhhh.. Hawkins is out

[jdmee]

I do agree that holding at least one of the two for next season. I'm not big on only having one FR in next years class.

And this year we though it would be a quiet off season. You never know what tomorrow will bring. If you fill both now it still doesn't guarantee that next year a couple might open up.

I, for one, hope that no more announce leaving. I like this mix. Does it seem we haven't had a lot of luck with transfers over the past few years. The last transfer that worked well for us that I can remember was Kyle Wilson. Phil T. and Hawk bptj showed flashes, but I don't feel either really lived up the their hype (the "hype" not being their fault).

On Sports Daily yesterday, Coach said that no one was shown the door this year.

If you believe everything you hear on Spurts Daily, I've got a Oceanside condo in Wichita that I would like to sell to you.

But that isn't Sports Daily, those are Marshall's words you are doubting (if that is what he said as I only got the back end of the interview).

And I, among many others, certainly heard those words come directly from HCGM. I am perfectly satisfied that HCGM did not push anyone out. I'm sure however that he was honest with each player about their strengths and weaknesses and what had to happen for them to get significant PT next year.

I'm satisfied that Both Reggie and A.J. made what they believe to be the best decision for their situation and I wish them well.

My feeling is that if the staff can fill both spots with quality players, they will do so. Maybe a combo guard (1-2) and a swing man (2-3). Hopefully, at least one will be a freshman.

It came from Marshall himself.

No one is ever shown the door, they just present the 'facts' of the current situation, and the player decides for hisself.

Looks like Coy will be getting more minutes right away next season, which is okay with me since he can hit outside shots.

Considering he started most of the games this season, and his leaving the team guarantees his D1 career is over, I highly doubt his departure was sought.

That said, I also doubt they went out of their way to change his mind, especially considering Marshall's previous comments of wanting to coach players who desire to be here (not to mention AJ's performance vs. Hatch's down the stretch).

AJ did what AJ thinks is best for he and his family. I wish him all the best.

The thing about it is that if the lines of communication are completely open, and neither player or coach has alterior motives, a transfer out of the program does not have to leave feeling pushed out. This possibility exists even if it was originally the coach's decision. There is certainly a way to make this happy and ensure all sides are happy with the end result.

I want to keep Marshall whether he "pushed a player out" or not. Are you kidding me??????????? These scholarships are for one year, and one year only. If you have a year-to-year academic scholarship and your grades are all D's and D-pluses, do you think you have a chance in hell of getting your academic schollarship renewed? Does that mean you were "pushed out"? You people amaze me sometimes.

I was thinking that too, this leave will not hurt us as much as Chamberlain did; mostly because we are stacked at the 3.

I am not one of those fans that drool over a transfer but honestly I think that Coy will be better than Hawkins. I was not ever stunned by Hawkins' game, he had lots of talent. I just don't think he fit into the system very well.

yada, yada, yada,...I remember a coach telling the public that "I'm staying", then shortly after saying, "I'm leaving". Coaches often market themselves by telling the public what they want to hear, but are paddling in the other direction as they speak. It's no secret that the current players are not getting GM to his goal as fast as he would like, therefore the reality might include telling some players that their future roll may not be as shiney as they expected, leaving them the choice to leave and play elsewhere. Funny how these personnel changes occur just shortly after the players have had their post season sit-down chat with the coach.

There might be one more leaving.

I think I speak for many when I say that Coach Marshall is very rarely guilty of "Coach Speak".

One more?.........a third one, you mean?

And the rich get richer

Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self announced Thursday that guard Tyrone Appleton and forward Quintrell Thomas are seeking to transfer following the spring 2009 semester.
