Aren't those the only players Gutierrez has interviewed?

Other than Kadary?

They are the only 3 who have publicly stated they are going to return.

That’s not the same as them being the ONLY players to return.

It’s likely other guys will leave.
It’s unlikely ALL of the other guys will leave.

 

[dasher]

Are you kidding me?

No. How many? I know the sky is falling with you. Do me a favor, don't respond to me again. You don't add anything.

 

[dasher]

I’ve now heard from multiple people its not over today, which makes JB’s statement poor form.

I have not heard it’s Woody, but I have zero reason to believe he’s staying. Id be beyond shocked

Not really. he can make the same statement about the guys that leave tomorrow or beyond.

 

[billsin01]

I'll rephrase it if we land another guard and Q comes back I can live with Jimmy playing under 20 mpg. If Jimmy is our only addition. There will be a mutiny.

Why don’t you let things play out once in a while. Jesus. you need to breathe.

He could have said "As of now, the only confirmed departures are Kadary, Bobby, and JBA".

As Scarlett O'Hara once said ... "Tomorrow is another day'.

 

[Jasoncuse]

a little misleading. he didn't lose Q he could come back if he isn't what the pros are looking for. He didn't lose Marek. He just wants to move on. Sid might be back. So, who did he lose? he lost guys that weren't starting. Braswell, JBA and Kadary. With Frank and Woody probably still to come. 5 non starters. of the group, only Kadary is a big, big loss. I like Braswell a lot. Wished he stayed. It's not a good thing for the program. But I think schools are losing starters all over the place. Let alone subs.

Frank leaving would be pretty odd but what can you do. Kid reclassified and wasn’t going to play much this year anyhow, and got Covid. Him leaving would be another red flag, not that we need any more indicators of where this program stands.

 

[Briancuse]

I get it but on the day when we lose our most important player I think it's ok to freak out a little. If we land someone as good or better I'll apologize to jb.

never put a down payment on worry. If things don't work out, you can always worry at that time.

Yeah - he’s got a legit shot at winning the starting Center job, and worst case being the backup.

He’s also mobile enough to possibly play some 4 for us (RickJack & Rak both got minutes at PF)

Unless he’s just totally soured on Cuse due to his 2 fellow Frosh also feeling that way, in which case -
shrug emoji guy.

 

[CU44SE]

how many starters?

This years or guys who we’re projected for next year? Because right now we have 3 guys staying and one freshman recruit. The center Jim didn’t think deserved any time until recently when marek got in foul trouble. I’m an Edwards fan, but Jim didn’t think he added anything until marek got in foul trouble and he had to put him in the game.

 

[Trueblue25]

Not really. he can make the same statement about the guys that leave tomorrow or beyond.

Why wouldn’t he just wait until they’ve all left? In my opinion its misleading. Why’d he feel the need to make a statement today?

You cant spin this fast enough Dasher. Jimmy dont centrifuge

 

[MikeSU02]

No. How many? I know the sky is falling with you. Do me a favor, don't respond to me again. You don't add anything.

At least two that should have been starting next year. Put me on ignore if you want.

You want to defend JB blindly, go ahead.

 

[billsin01]

We won’t. Kadary is great and I’m not sure you pluck a kid who not only has that kind of talent but fits so perfectly in the zone. It truly blows.

But I come here to read what’s going on and it’s literally like the world is ending. I’m going to guess that JB manages to put a decent team together. Probably not great, but ok. I’m even concerned that the acc move and the shifting sands of college athletics means our days as a true power program may be numbered — even were JB to retire tomorrow (which would lead many here to party in the streets).

but I don’t know, I think a lot will change between now and the first day of practice so I’ll at least wait to drop a deuce in my pants until then.

I have not defended JB. i don't know what I don't know in this matter. Neither do you. but you have no problem joining a lynch mob mentality. that is the difference. And as I said, I haven't see you really add anything other than just complaining.

 

[kcsu]

At this point shouldn't the flag be White?

People are over being just ok.

Alan griffin says Hi. i don't feel like going over the rest of the transfers. The transfer in team is a lot better than the transfer out team. And I don't spin with this crap. I have given facts and many here haven't liked it. Like others who have given up giving information, it is time for me to stop as well. The board can go back to calling for the coaches head and how we have hit rock bottom.

 

[UpstateSM]

I thought this was the positivity thread

 

[dasher]

People are over being just ok.

Okay. what are you going to do about it? I mean instead of whining? you going to call the A.D. tomorrow? You can get some money together and help buy jb out? Or are you just going to keep on posting the same thing over and over again?

All three of those guys were tight. I could see one of the guys poisoning the well so to speak. Whatever, I am over it and I wasn’t that heart burned about it in the first place. If they go, they go. Life goes on. If you’re that bent about things, send an email to the AD raising your concerns about the direction of the program. Simple.

 

[Sherman20]

Not sure if Woody is trolling us but IF he is coming back along with Frank and we bring in Symir, Powell, and Jimmy Jr. (even 2 out of the 3) then I’m feeling MUCH better about next year. Crossing my fingers.

Woody ain’t returning. I’m sure we’ll get some good transfers. But none of it really matters because no one is as good as Kadary was/is going to be.

 

[billsin01]

I get it.

People also should understand that JB leaving combined with a small, private school in upstate by that has never really opened the wallet in a big way for a coach, that is out-of-place in a southern conference (that in and of itself hasn’t been very good the past few years), might end up having a tough time cranking it back up to the level of the first half of the 2010s. Could happen with the right hire. The future for programs like ours could be much closer to Indiana or UCLA (prior to this run) than to Michigan or Bama (assuming oats is around).

I could be wrong, but for everyone who hates JB — and lots of folks do, let’s face it — I actually hope they right and the only issue we have is a 76-year-old coach who’s lost something off the fastball. I truly, genuinely hope that’s the correct narrative.

Besides Woody who is left to portal? Frank and AG, right?
