I know he's gone and nobody really cares about him, but man could we have used his services right about now. An immediate family member ran into her friend Ryan Blackwell the other night, and his opinion on our current woes is that it's mainly due to player defections, whether it's early departures or whatever else.
Regarding Thompson, did this dude's mother essentially destroy his basketball career? He was great while here as a freshman- a surprise essentially, then his selfish mother forces him to jump ship to Seton Hall and he gets mired in some scandal and then he disappears. Should she be proud of herself? I don't know what his current status is there- maybe he's off the team, suspended or whatever idk, but what a shame. If she left him alone I'm sure he'd be a 20 and 10 guy for us right now w his sights set on a possible NBA future. Moral of the story, leave your damn kids alone and let them make their own decisions.
