This is surprising and something that cant become a trend. Hopefully Ray is clearing room for a certain juco in Scooba
Boy, that kind of came out of nowhere. Well, I guess we have room for Pollard now.
I assume that is going to hurt us.
I'll tell you this, Ray better get his ****ing act together on the recruiting trail.
Yes, will significantly hurt us in SEC play. He was a solid player for a RFr.
he was a damn good all around player who wasn't a "me first" guy. Sucks to lose him. I thought we needed him, Colin, and Johnson to have a big year for us to have success in the SEC.
I hope this transferring stuff doesn't become a trend with us
Agreed, its one thing to lose Lewis and Steele from the team who were Stans' recruits but its a bad sign when you start losing your own recruits.Quote:

That's strike 1 on Rick Ray. If he doesn't sign Pollard, that's strike 2. He doesn't get a pass this year.
Agreed, but everyone has to be prepared for it in college basketball these days. I defended it when it happened under Stans, and I'll defend it when it happens under Ray as well, assuming it doesn't get out of hand.Quote:

I hate losing Applewhite; I really, really liked his game, and there's no way to spin it as a positive. But it will happen.
Only way to spin this positive is if we get a Pollard or somebody like that signed after the season.
So many assumptions going on here. You have no clue what goes on within the team. You have no clue what goes on in practice. Experts all the way around with limited knowledge of the situation and you are laying this on Ray, not the player himself. Strike 1 my ass. You act like a bunch of playground thugs who ****ing know it all. **** APPLEWHITE the QUITTER.
He may be on one side of the spectrum, but you're on the other.Quote:

I agree. My patience with ray just took a hit. He better start showing me something
So apparently Applewhite wanted a bigger role in the offense. Not sure what you say about that except good luck finding it.
Who's your source, if you don't mind?Quote:
