Bobby Braswell transferring to Charlotte

[dasher]

Sid and Marek are graduating. Sid has no legs, and Marek wants to play for Euros.

JBA was expected.

It was either Braswell or Woody. Hopefully not both.

Quincy will talk to the NBA people.

Griff talks to the voices in his head.

That is actually spot on.

 

[djcon57]

...and HERE COMES the “...actually they aren’t that good” posts.

 

[malpearl31]

Bobby couldn't rebound? You sure about that?

He wasn't a great rebounder... his DR% (12.3%) was way less than Quincy's (18.2%) and was also less than AG's (15.2%). His numbers were better than Marek's, though (only 10.8%).

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

That is actually spot on.

dash, does this mean you are warming on Woody coming back? Thought his departure was a done deal.

 

[GoCuse14]

BTW, Anybody else little turned off by these guys announcing now we just lost in the Sweet 16 Sat night. Can u give it a few days a week. Also means these guys like Braswell had long been thinking about it.

They LITERALLY did give it a few days. Maybe you should take a break.

Yeah, really.

These kids should be thinking about the fan base, and not getting their names out there as soon as possible to try to find the best landing spot they can.

Don't they realize it's not about them, but it's all about us???????

 

[Briancuse]

You think Duke will have as many as us?

Pretty close it's 2-2 right now.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yes, but coming back to a situation they know isn't favorable to them is probably worse than going to a new situation that could be unfavorable but could work out.

Maybe. Still feel like for the most part, the same guys will be getting to the league that would’ve got their anyway. The same guys will be playing overseas that would’ve anyway. And the same guys will move on to other careers, who would’ve done so anyways.

A few guys will find the perfect program for them to elevate their stock, but most won’t.

Hopefully a lot of these guys are taking other things into account beyond their unlikely pro careers, and going somewhere that they will enjoy their remaining college years at and also going places they will benefit from.

I mean in the end. Just to be clear. No snark, just being clear.

 

[dasher]

I think he is gone. I was told by someone very, very, very close to the program that they weren't so sure about that. They then followed up by telling me someone I wasn't counting on leaving, was doing just that. May you live in interesting times.

 

[Scooch]

Isn't Bras already in his 3rd year?

I guess. He barely played as a frosh, and then he redshirted.

 

[SuFTW]

WHAT, it has everything to do with it.

JB accepted putting our whole season at risk to get Buddy through his slump.

We were an 11 seed and JB was fine with it to make sure Buddy was always the feature of the offense.

Ha Ha. No.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If half the guys from all of the programs all switch teams, won’t a lot of them just basically be signing up for the same role at a different school?

Yes! That's what makes this so fun!

 

[UpstateSM]

That is actually spot on.

I have chosen to interpret this as “Woody is coming back” and I will not be changing my mind so no need to tell me that I am wrong

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

it was the best of portals, it was the worst of portals

 

[MikeSU02]

Ha Ha. No.

Hahaha Yes. Look at the numbers when Buddy was shooting the most on the team, by far, and who was scoring and being the most efficient.

HAHAHAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

 

[SWC75]

Jamie Boeheim has eligibility too right?

She could be team manager: Jamie Boeheim - Women's Basketball Coach - University of Rochester Athletics (uofrathletics.com)

 

[CuseFaninVT]

N


He wasn’t a plus rebounder.
Not even really average.

I mean, if you go by his 12.1 minutes per game, I guess you're right. But if you were to bump that out to his 40 min average, I'd guess he'd be higher than Marek. Actually, I'm right. Bras would have been 6.28. MD was at 5.82

dont do this to me, man

This was actually Marek's worst rebounding season.

Which is weird.

[/QUOTE
I have no info but I get the feeling someone is coming back who we all thought was gone.

 

[orange79]

Who says “safety belts?”

76 year-old people.

 

[Jasoncuse]

I know it's probably unlikely, but if Woody does stick around, I like him as a better 15 minute guy than Braswell. I think he can be a better shooter and do more for us offensively. I'll assume they'd be a wash defensively and on the glass, though Braswell did perform pretty well there most of the time.

 

[CuseRunner]

Let’s remember, we’re going to add portal players too. We’re not going to have a roster of 8.

When ? Guys who have already long since entered the portal we haven't been in the teams listed. BTW if Jimmy is coming here why is he not already here or rumors out there.
