Matt Moyer transferring

according to his twitter...wish he was staying damn, bummed

 

[syrBossHogg]

Ugh

 

[Alsacs]

This isn’t shocking.
I feel for the kid.
We should give him an unconditional release and let him go wherever he wants.

We need to add another player.
We can’t be short rostered again.

Really good kid. Wish him the best. With Bazley coming in, Brissett and Dolezaj returning, he just wasn't going to get much playing time. But he has to sit out the year. He would likely play a lot the following year when both starting forwards likely leave early. But whatever.

bummed, but he saw the writing on the wall

 

[Shark58]

sad

wish him nothing but the best

This writing was probably on the wall since the DNP fallout following his injury. From a playing time perspective, this seems like a good move for Matt. I wish him all the best, hard not to root for a kid like this.

Best of luck, Matthew! Thanks for bleeding Orange!

 

[Frozen]

He's already redshirted, so if he transfers to a D-II program, could he play right away?

 

[rrlbees]

Damn. I loved that kid. His heart, his hustle and he was all orange. Good luck to him no matter where he ends up.

Too bad. A solid young man. Wishing him all the best.

Well, so much for that.

It would make the most sense for him to stay, which leads me to believe that Moyer and his family might not have been happy with how the coaching staff handled him this year.

Probably the best move for him. He'll get playing time at another school. He just redshirted, was injured/didn't play much this year and might as well be redshirted again next year with OB/DB/MD at the Forward spots.

Well wishes to Matt for sure!

 

[Cuseball]

Best of luck Matt. Hope you find a great landing spot.

Cuse!

this is why recruiting hype must be tempered. go back a couple years when he signed. doubt that him leaving after 1 year of eligibility because he was not good enough to get on the court on a team with zero depth was even a 10 percent likelihood

 

[MSOrange]

Too bad. Impossible not to like the kid. I was really hoping to see his development in a couple seasons, but it would have been hard to get PT next year so I understand. Wonder if the whole injury thing and how it played out was a big factor?

Regardless, good luck to Matt. He's one I definitely will follow and cheer for wherever he ends up.

why even go down that path? Its likely as simple as he wants to play and will find a good situation where he can do that.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Best friend leaving prob plays a part too

 

[Brian Orange]

Man was really hoping to see him be a four year glue type of guy. These guys leaving early come back to haunt us always with roster depth, etc.

 

[cusefan88]

Hughes can play forward in a pinch so OB/Baz/Dolezaj/Hughes.

Carey/Howard/Washington/Buddy at guard as well.

Yup...sucks

 

[PauliePeppas]

Glass half full...pretty much assures Oshae is back

He’s gotta sit out a year though - which will cost him a year of eligibility. So he’s going to transfer somewhere and only have 2 years left to play. He’d probably have a good chance to play here his last two years?

Oh well. We’re stacked at forward for next year and have time to add a couple to the 2019 class. Hopefully Moyer finds a good fit and has success.
