Guess we’re not the only ones anymore

[Cuse1055]

At least we can now say Bazely isn’t the only one to do this to the team he committed to:

 

[HoustonCuse]

It’s funny to me that a person is going to do something professionally, but the news has the words “according to his mother” attached to it.

 

[DaCuse]

Selfish. Figure this stuff out BEFORE you mislead a university and fan base.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Good for him

 

[UpstateSM]

I know, the nerve of these kids to let us down after all we've done for them.

 

[Eric15]

I trust that Michigan fans will be as calm, mature and pragmatic about how this decision will affect Isaiah Todd's future as we were with Darius Bazley.

God forbid someone change their mind. With your position, no one could ever get divorced. Also, he owes nothing to the fans of some future place he might play. That's on them if they got emotionally invested that an 18 year old might play basketball for them next year.

 

[sufandu]

It'll keep happening more and more. People have the right to do what they want. It'll be sad watching college basketball slowly become college baseball.

I would have "Loved" this, but your lack of an Oxford comma knocked it down to a "Like".

You gave yourself away.
This erudite comment proves you can't possibly be an SU alum.

 

[HOFCeluck]

O79s heavy handed moderating is one thing but his hoity toity commas are whole other ball of wax.

i basically have two favorite college bball programs...syracuse (by nature of where i grew up)..and Michigan (by nature of where i went to college)

and so i get the double play!!! yeah for me!!!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Was hoping this was a thread about aliens.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Was hoping this was a thread about aliens.

Well, that thread was years ago. we already know there are crashed saucers at groom lake. In fact we are using alien technology to keep trump's orange hue going

 

[CusefanATL]

At least we can now say Bazely isn’t the only one to do this to the team he committed to:

we werent the only ones, heck we werent the first ones. Brandon Jennings/Ariz comes to mind - the thing with Bazley was that he did it to play in the G league and then to intern at New Balance.

Emmanuel Mudiay and SMU!!! That was a huge get for them. And Arizona had Terrence Ferguson too!!

They will take my Oxford comma from me when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Hey!

There is growing concern that there will not be college hoops this year. Kids who can, will opt for this direction. I expect more will forego this season.

Well if he’s the only elite recruit to sniff their campus in 15 years then maybe...

That makes zero sense. NO college hoops, but YES G League hoops?

OK, on the one hand I get it -
there will be ZERO problems with fans & social distancing at G League games.

Do you say the same thing when a school pulls an offer from a kid?

 

[patcuse]

It’s not about basketball it’s about getting a guaranteed endorsement deal.

 

[Bulldog04]

Yeah and for Bazley it really crushed him not coming to SU. Set to make $17.5 million the next over next 5 seasons. Man what a horrible decision to make the SU fans mad and what a mistake on his part... so apparent he needed to play ball here

no college hoops but yes agent money & private workouts, etc

How is there going to be a gleague then?
