[two3zone]

morgan was hired as an "advisor". whatever that means.

Bag man? **runs and hides**

Awesome young man raised well by his parents.
I hope like hell he succeeds at the NBA level. I will root for him as hard as anyone.

One of my favorite players. Warrior on the court class act. I really think he makes it.

 

[bballbeadle]

Awww. Has any player ever written to us fans before? I don’t remember any. What a great thing to do!

What a class act.

Kid did everything right off of the court, and was a pretty damn good player on it. Represented the university the right way in everything he did, and won some memorable games here -- sometimes almost single-handedly.

Wish we'd won a few more games over the course of his tenure, but the sanctions that coincided with his time here dug deep. Wish him the best, and hope he latches on in the NBA.

Yeah, kid was a heckofa player but he seems like an outstanding kid -- at least to the extent that we can know from a far. But if he's even close to as good a kid as he seems, he's going to be successful in life and ultimately that is drastically more important that the NBA in my eyes. I'd say good luck, but I'm not really sure he needs it.

 

[Briancuse]

Really cool. Not surprised in the least tyus just get it.

THANK YOU TYUS!! Plenty of times in his 3 years he could have cracked, but he stayed true to this team and fanbase! One of the all time greats!

Too bad we couldn't recruit five Tyus Battles.. Great young man and a credit to SU.

 

[two3zone]

Love Tyus, wish we had talent around him.

He deals with the players so JB doesnt have to. He’s got people skills god damnit.

Oh, wow. That’s as good as it gets.
