our roster next year will likely have little resemblance to this year's (again). alas, collegiate athletics is a mess.

What would be his eligibility ramifications? Lose his first year? Sit out this year and next? This has to be non-basketball related.

This whole transfer portal and ease of transferring is idiotic. When I was 18 or 19 years old, I was nowhere near able to see life's big picture. These guys are making big decisions without any depth of experience as to the factors or consequences of their actions. Things not going exactly as you want ? Quit and go someplace else. No thought of attacking the problem and working through it. This may well be academic issue but he should have somebody tell him in a supportive way : "Where ever you go, there you are."

That station used to play the theme song from the "Bonnie & Clyde" movie when I was really young. That in and of itself is not significant. It was that my cousin used to sing it everywhere she went while it was popular. She thought she could sing, but alas, not hardly. Not good, anyway. But prior to that, she was the one who introduced us to the Beatles even before the Ed Sullivan show appearance. Just based on that alone is worth cutting her some slack. Then, years later, her boyfriend had Black Sabbath on 8-track tape. I had heard of them but not actually heard them yet due to over-sheltering of the kind of suburb we lived in. Yes, we could listen to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the radio but something like Black Sabbath? Only upstairs in the rec room if there were no parents around. We couldn't have "Boone's Farm" t-shirts until they were sold at Sears. We were allowed to watch fake cool shows like "Love American Style" and "Laugh In" but were lucky if we got to go to the theater and see "Billy Jack."

But that's a long story for a different day.

PD played about as much as Dezonie and Thomas, twice as much as Dorsey.

https://vucommodores.com/wp-content/upl ... -Stats.pdf

Three games is not enough time to see where one fits in with the team. He was 0-3 shooting versus VCU, but grabbed six defensive rebounds in 11 minutes. I thought Peyton was coming along fine. This transfer doesn't seem to be basketball related.

He probably needs to sit out next season until the end of the first semester classes since he played during the first semester here. I don't think teams will be doing much redshirting in the future. A guy could waste a scholarship sitting on the bench for a season and then transfer anyway.

Let's get serious for a minute. Any idea what led to this decision? Why would he not figure this out before he came, or any time before 3 games into the season? With Chatman out, he had a chance to prove he needed to play.

Hell, I was of the opinion he could have surpassed Trey Thomas on the depth chart (who I am kind of down on at the moment. 1-13 from the field will do that.) So selfish. Assuming, of course, it's basketball-related.

He was disciplined by Coach and actually suspended from practice in the preseason.
This may have been his alternative to additional non basketball issues.

Does win over a team that went 23-2 last year. without the kid

Wright with 25 and Lawrence breaks out for 20

Our FT shooting is still an issue: 55%

I don't know that Daniels will end up being a big loss of not, but this year's version of Winthrop is not the same team that went 23-2 last year. They lost by 11 to MTSU, which went 5-18 last season. Winthrop is probably not as bad as Alabama St, but they are not a good team. It is also not great that VCU lost to UTC at home today as well. It is good to see a player like Lawrence break through and Wright continue his breakout season, but until Robbins and Chatman return, we are not a particularly good team.

We did hold their pre-season conference play of the year to fouling out with 6 points. Admittedly the kid appears to be out of shape and overrated, but still... how many of us got worried when that game started and saw his size? It reminded me of the Hurt kid they called "baby Shaq" at Murf. Siegel H.S. that was A-Sun freshman of the year at Lipscomb but then didn't do so much in the Big12 when he transferred to Kansas St.

If we don't get Robbins back, Tshiebwe at UK could be a problem, yet Ohio held him scoreless the other night, but Ohio's center is a transfer from Xavier and is averaging 15/8 so far this season, so we really don't have a guy like that right now. Unless we get Robbins back.


***To be fair to Stephen Hurt, it looks like he has gotten into pretty good shape as a pro player...

Reading between the lines from Stack’s post game press conference last night, one can discern more about the situation with Daniels. Sounds like he wanted even more PT 3 games into his freshman season and perhaps brought a bit of a sense of entitlement. Don’t wish the kid any ill will, but sounds like his departure ultimately is for the best. (Read the last few sections here:)
