That dude was a bouncy athlete. I think he would’ve been a stud had he stuck around.
Wasn’t the story that he was a star in high school, didn’t have to practice, and thought he’d get the same treatment here?
Anyway, after a quick Google, looks like after he washed out at South Carolina, he hit up a juco, washed out there and then ended up at something called Chaflin University. He should find Mark Konecny and have a drink.
It just seems like there is a very high bust ratio of these kids that transfer out...
I remember being very excited about his potential when he committed. It's too bad.
It just seems like there is a very high bust ratio of these kids that transfer out. M Jones is a great example. Can't imagine things going much worse in a basketball sense than what happened with his career.
It seems like Dion is able to appreciate his mothers advice that helped persuade him to stay. No way the alternative would be nearly as good.
This Dion kid is showing signs of maturing into a decent guy. He is currently riding a hot streak of good decisions. Coming back, accepting the coming off the bench role, and finishing up his school work - nice (and you can't argue with his decision to go into the draft when he makes it to #4, and/or his choice of agent).
It's nice to see, especially when reminded of the disastrous consequences of someone who chose a different route.
Very true - it's not even close to a 50% success rate, right? There're a couple of Richard Mannings who made a good choice, but there have been what seems like dozens of Sam Spanns and Rock Lloyds who are never heard from again.

Tony Bland.
In two seasons at SDSU, Bland led the Aztecs in points 27 times, rebounds seven times and assists 26 times. He had 56 double-figure scoring games at SDSU (70 career, counting 14 at Syracuse)

While I'm not debating that plenty of transfers wash out, Ramel "Rock" Lloyd is not one of them. In three seasons at Long Beach St., he averaged 18, 15, and 19 points a game.
And, in addition to the previously mentioned Bobby Lazor and Richard Manning, 'Cuse has had a ton of transfers who did quite well at other schools.
Here's a few:
Earl Duncan averaged 15ppg at Rutgers over 2 seasons.
Keith Hughes went for 20pts & 9rb a game over 2 seasons at Rutgers - wining A-10 player of the year.
Matt Roe averaged almost 18 points a game in his one season at Maryland.
Anthony Harris led Hawaii in scoring in 1999 with 22.4 ppg
DeShaun Williams averaged 15ppg and 5rpg in his one season at Iona.
Eric Williams became a solid, if unspectacular, role player at UMASS averaging 5ppg and 4rpg over 2 seasons
James Thues averaged 9 points a game in 2 seasons at Detroit Mercy
Not making the NBA isn't washing out. If it were, then 90% of Syracuse's players have washed out.
