I think it's not that simple... we needed a point guard and got baby Curly Neil with an attitude...
Hope he sorts himself out and that McNeese can help him do that... but half expecting he's not enrolled there come Fall and he's off to juco cause they couldn't paper-over his incompletes.

Come on in the age of online courses and summer school (very condensed) he can probably get eligible in 2 weeks. Will Wade is the coach and the NCAA is barely clinging onto its existence. He'll be on the court.
Probably wouldn't be an issue at 80-90% of D1 schools either.

Q finished second in ACC Sixth Man of the Year voting. He also received votes for ACC Defensive Player of the Year, along with Maliq. Yes, he tried to make the flashy play too often and, according to reports, didn’t show respect for the coaches and caused dissension on the team. But he has skills. That’s not in doubt. If he gets himself under control, he can be an elite passer, has elite athleticism, and if he gets his head on right, can get to the rim at will. Maybe he wouldn’t qualify academically or our coaches thought he was too difficult to coach, but that’s a different story.

During the season, his people were also apparently posting crap online about our coaches. He has a lot of bad-influence people in his ear filling his head with crap and saying he’s gonna be a top pick in the draft. So many of these kids listen to the wrong people and surround themselves with bad actors who give them poor guidance.

Without "baggage" he'd have ended up at a lower tier P4.
Talent wise he's way better than Mcneese St.

Acc runnerup 6th man of the year to McNeese St...
The P4 D1 schools passed on him... Kansas, NC State, KSU, Miss St., Memphis, etc. Whether grades or fit or both... But the former was certainly a rumored significant issue.

Seems like there might be a connection... let me think about it.
If it wouldn't be an issue at 80 to 90% of the schools, why did this "talented player" end up at McNeese st? You think that was his first choice?
Didn't see your post when I posted. Of course.

McNeese had a good past season. Another one next season and someone will be desperate enough to hire away Will Wade. Q follows him back to a P4/P5 for his 4th year and maybe he gets a g-league sniff if he makes tremendous personal improvements for 2 years.

Yeah, I get the sense that some people here think McNeese is any old midmajor. In prior times, their portal pickups would have no business playing there, but they're throwing money around and Wade fancies himself as a modern-day Tarkanian.

Coaches probably could have placated them/him by letting him start over Taylor. But whatever they wanted conflict/breakup and a Hofstra transfer.
He he scored more per 40 than JJ we are losing a talented guy. Defensively he was a menace when he wanted to be.
I just don’t think Red got that right leaving a player in to get booed by his own fans vs playing someone far better even if he was difficult off the court. Inevitable departure at the end of the yeah sure Devo and Harris weren’t allowed back either for the senior years it happens. Why not start him and see if he behaves?

We get it. None of this was QC's fault at all.

No just that neither side won. We whiffed on Leffew and Kadary. Copeland won’t play a single game on TV. All so Taylor could get booed by his own fans during lineups.

Yeah actually you got it all right. It was all a ploy to get the fans to boo Taylor at all the home games. The coaching staff said Justin smelled way to bad so they just had too.
Copeland only wasn’t going to class and was faking his issues with coaches just to set up Taylor! Our coaching staff is so good they even played the long game of faking transfer interest in two guards AFTER Taylor had already transferred.

yeah but it's all part of the equation even some of the most talented employees can't do simple things like show up for work on time or even at all on some days which makes them essentially unemployable in most professions
As I have read here 10,000 times in the past 3-4 weeks, " the market has spoken" It did for Brown and it did for Copeland. I was wrong on both but can't speak to Copeland's issues off the court

It was mean to not take some heat off Taylor and let him come off the bench. The rotation was short handed and he’d already lost most of his minutes to Q. He also knew he was not going to be allowed to return the following season. Just no logic to not making that move.

It was unfortunate that Taylor had to start at the 4 all year as that was never the plan. Benny was supposed to start but messed up big time before the first game and continued to act out until they had to kick him off the team. Q could have earned the starting spot by just doing the regular things expected of all college students but he couldn't meet the most basic requirements of a young adult. That's not even getting into his other behavioral issues or lack of on court discipline.
