That feels right.

That feels right.

Exactly what I said in my head when I saw that post.

Hope he becomes a star at that level.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Good for him. Hopefully he kills it out there.

I would think it would be hard to make the case for a hardship waiver, but more power to him.

Best of luck to Ron!

So he ends up at Indiana after all, just not in Indiana.

Good for him. Wish him the best out there -- and I think he'll do extremely well.

Good luck Ron! Always liked the kid, he was a hard worker. Too bad it didn't work out.

Whats his hardship enduring two years of abuse from jb?

Maybe you're using a play on words but IUPUI is in Indiana.

Good luck to Ron. I think this will be a good fit for him and hope it works out great and he averages double figures. Not sure what the reasoning would be for the hardship but I hope he gets that also. No inside info at all, but my sense is that JB and staff would probably do what they can to help him justify that.

They need a new name to replace that alphabet soup. Buss needs to get ready for some epic battles in the Summit League with North Dakota State and South Dakota State. Show 'em how it's done.

If I remember right, he has a young child back home. Maybe he is trying to play that angle.

Yup - totally forgot about that. Pretty good angle. Hope it works out for him and he has a stellar career.

best of luck kid

Really disappointed in all 3 departures but especially in BJ and Ron.

On a better offensive team, Patterson would have been a great energy guy off the bench. With our offensive struggles, we cannot afford to have yet another player on the court who is so limited offensively.

With a year in the gym, I think BJ is going to be a beast when he comes back. With our schollie reductions, we cannot afford to have a guy red shirting.

As for McC, disappointed but cannot begrudge a guy the decision to do what he thinks is best.

Glad that Patterson's situation has been resolved. Not difficult to envision him having a fine career at this level. Best of luck to him.

Wrong.




It's Idaho University Pepperdine University of Iowa. Due to a crazy zoning foul up, the school's campus actually straddles the border of Nebraska and Kansas.

Sounds like it's in Samoa...which wouldn't be all bad.
