Per Donna about Tyus

[shandeezy7]

The last four pages of this thread are psycho x girlfriend like levels of paranoia. Jesus guys.

Operate under the assumption he’s leaving because up until two weeks after our elimination that is what we all knew was coming.

Full support, he was a great orangemen.

If he’s waiting until 11:45 at night on Sunday i think that bodes well for us. Or as well as it could.

I’m still thinking its 80/20 he leaves but, as many insiders/knowledgable sources have expressed, it works further in our favor the longer he puts it off.


So, just relax.

 

[jr4750]

Is he really going to wait this whole time just to declare at the last second?

haha, classic cuse. He's gone, then he's back, wait, nope, he's gone. Collective fan base is like...

Relax? But if I wasn't manically clicking Refresh, I'd have to do some actual work!

I’m pretty sure 11:45 was a joke.

Ah well, its the last 3 days anyways. We’re in about as good a position as we can ask for.

72 hours to see if he shocks us and stays. I doubt it.

 

[cusefan88]

He's gotta be agonizing over the decision. Good thing he has such a strong and supportive family to help him through.

Choked on a oreo with the Ted Danson line. Lol

Good to know your like has digressed into eating Oreos mid morning ...

 

[kidorange]

Silver spoon? Or did i miss the sarcasm.

Forgot the font

 

[orangepassion]

He should've thought less about himself and more about how the fans would take it. Obviously.

Way to totally miss my point. I think he's coming back.

 

[suttree]

No, no--911 is a joke.

WE LOVE YOU TYUS

I really don't think agonizing is the right term. You agonize over the cancer diagnosis and the treatment options, you agonize over whether it's time to continue treatment for a sick family member or seek hospice treatment, you agonize over whether to keep the severely injured leg and try to rehab or amputate, you agonize over whether to run into the line of fire to save your fallen comrade or make it home to see the baby son/daughter you've never met. Deciding whether to play the sport you love with friends while completing your college degree and seek a national championship or sign a 7 figure contract to play that same sport isn't agonzing. We're making way more of this decision from both his the fan's perspective than it is.

All that said, I bet he's having trouble sleeping because of this decision, assuming he hasn't decided yet.

His dad sends a cryptic tweet today saying Syracuse "has" been the right place for Tyus and he misses today's mandatory meeting. I am thinking we find out today for sure. JB likely already knows.

When I was a student at SU and lived in NYC, I’d jump those flights too. About $65 for a 40 minute flight. No biggie.

$130 RT on the regular would have been a fortune to me in college... I was scraping by for $3 pitchers at chucks. then again, my parents didn't give me spending money. I know people from nyc have different perspective of money...

$16 Greyhound from Syracuse -> NYC back in the day

Oye. How old are you? It was like 55 dollars in 2007.

You guys are making me feel old.

WE LOVE YOU TYUS

OH YES WE DOOOOOOO. Sorry. My 11 year old just did Bye Bye Birdie this past weekend and I thought I'd finally gotten that song out of my head. I guess not.

Maybe. I've lost sleep out of excited anticipation before.

Where did you hear there is a mandatory meeting?

 

[SUFaninNJ]

You mean you weren't invited? I thought we had a few people missing...

latest donna article speculates that he may in fact declare WITHOUT an agent to take more time to think it over. meaning this thread will hit 200 pages.

Syracuse basketball star Tyus Battle will have to make NBA decision this weekend

IMO this shows how poorly plugged in Donna is to thesituation. Didn't she previously say that declaring without an agent was the least likely outcome?

She said she didn't think he would. Not sure what that has to do with being plugged in or not. He's running out of time so if he can't decide now, it makes sense to do even if that wasn't his plan.
