I think the nature of transfers and college basketball has shifted where if anything goes down, some guys run.
I think Rysheed is stronger than your average kid, and seems very loyal to the program. He's had a rough start to his season, and I'm sure adjusting to college life has been tough for him. It's unfortunate we speculate so much, but that's the nature of the game these days. When the going get's tough, most kid's leave.
SJU has had our fair share of transfers the last few years, but I think that played more into how our team was so depleted from talent, Lavin had to take risks his first few years to get players in. We are no longer in that position and I think the quality/attitude of our student athletes will continue to get better each year. No more reaching for the Pelle's and Nuri's of the world, and more finding guys that fit the system, Lavin's style of coaching, and want to be here.
I think Rysheed comes out tomorrow and goes for 15 and 5, gets to the rim a lot, and shoots about 6-8 FT's.
