Class of 2020 C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

[dasher]

I will add this, no one saw any trouble coming as of just days ago. And by the way, maybe there isn't any. We don't know what we don't know.

At this point, yes it has. Fortunately, the off season isn't over. There are options to be had out there ( I don't have any idea what they would be, but budget would have to be damned.

The top 200 transfers are all gone. I have zero idea how we could recover from this. This was something I came to expect under JB. I thought it would be different with Red, but it looks awfully similar right now.

Where are we getting 15 wins without a center? I am under no delusion that McLeod will stay healthy.

That's what I was going to say. 15 wins seems ambitious to me in this scenario.

 

[dasher]

Why can’t we go after guys that have already committed to a different school? Seems to me if we up the ante we could probably get a guy to flip.

I have to think we would. Or ask someone to reclassify. Or Europe. One thing, we can't go in to next season with the team we currently have.

Will Patterson come back on board!

Vandy just recently hired Colorado’s asst, Rick Ray.

Who is even the coach of Vanderbilt?

 

[Rautins07]

If he goes he goes, what are you going to do! Start hunting for someone else and move on. Thats today’s college landscape, I don’t like it, but it is what it is. Not gonna trash the kid, but you move on

Brown is a better player than Lampkin. Always was. Can we stop lying to ourselves now?

 

[dasher]

Okay, I have been told it is the worst news for us. It isn't Vandy

Sad face. But again, hope Eddie/family are okay...

It isn't family. It is Money. He got offered a lot more money at a Texas school.

Georgetown?!

 

[dasher]

Georgetown?!

No

 

[littlereg]

I feel like we are in the scene in the Godfather where Tom tells Sonny, if we lose the old man, make the deal. If we lost Lampkin at this point, it is Europe and get us someone no matter the cost. We can raise the money.

Yeah I mean this is what we’d have to do at this point but isn’t that what we should’ve been doing the entire time?? Why is it oh we can raise the money spend the money no matter the cost only now if we’re desperate and looking at complete failure. Why can’t this program just once be proactive instead of reactive.

Matt Cross/Lampkin front court, baby! Go Stangs!

 

[Cusefan0307]

Can we get refunds on season tickets?

Would not surprise me one bit. If it is one thing that school has, it is money.

Texarkana?

 

[dasher]

Can we get refunds on season tickets?

I was thinking NIL refunds

 

[JustPherU]

It isn't family. It is Money. He got offered a lot more money at a Texas school.

At this point wouldn’t it be in our best interest to match the offer?Sometime you just have to bite the bullet and overpay.

What is going on here? Is this real or an overreaction to Instagram? Frankly, it’s unethical to commit and then leave the program in the lurch this late. But so many of these young players don’t have any ethics. The crazy thing is that a school like Michigan managed to land not one but two top 25 rated portal centers. So frustrating. I’m hoping this is nothing.
