Doughty Released

Almost all the turnover quite frankly are non-issues.

Delarosa brothers either hardly played or didn't play at all.  Stewart was a walk-on. 

The recruits are players who hadn't played yet.  Sampson we all know the staff wanted him.  Doughty was solid but Ellison is more than a reasonable replacement.

Bottom lin is the 3 players we all wanted when the coaching change happened with regards to who they inherited were: 1) Jordan return, 2) Obekpa to return and 3) Sampson to stay committed.  #3 stunk but hardly the end of the world.  2 out of 3 is not bad.

Everyone else quite frankly is more than replaceable.  And the recruiting has been solid and can and will get better both this year and next.

Exactly

we will be fine.

We also need bodies for this coming year so this is bad news unless we have several pieces of good news coming.

This has been in the works for awhile.. Kid is going to be good and 100% wanted to be here.  New staff has a plan and hopefully we get ellison to offset this loss .

Seems harsh to cut a kid loose who signed an LOI and wanted to be here, but guess that's the business.  Assume the plan has to do with 2016 SG target(s).

As much as I liked the kid him being here would not have stopped staff from recruiting Ellison and if we at the very least got one of Alkins / Heron this kid wouldn't play so this was inevitable

On the recent posts tab on the left, all I saw was "Doughty released by Marco Baldi." Got a good chuckle out of it.

Who would you rather have Ellison or Doughty?  Btw, we do have Jay Henderson

Again, posters on the ledge. relaxxxx

exactly, what if, just say, what if mussini came in and kicked sheed to the SG position which most of us think he is more suited to anyway.  And what if we get ellison ....get off the ledge till the roster is locked. there are JC and transfers which will balance the roster more.

Baldi the HEAD recruiter

Ellison. Better size and potential to add an inch or two. Mullin wants 6'5-6'6 SGs and 6'6-6'8 SFs.  He's not going to roll out three 6'3 guys like Lavin. I think Ellison will be a smarter player and easy kid to coach.  Doughty, though, I wi t write off.  Kid can get his.  I hope he finds a good fit and shines.

For Doughty;
@R_Miller12: ASU, Temple, UConn, Miss St, Eastern Kentucky, JMU, & UT-Chatt. are among some of the schools showing interest in @_BigTicket20

These lists usually don't mean too much initially.

@R_Miller12: Butler is the latest school to show interest for 2015 Math, Civics & Sciences (PA) G Samir Doughty. @_BigTicket20

Really?  They change the BE bylaws on transfer rules (including kids who signed NLI's)?  Maybe when the conference re-formed it adjusted it's bylaws on intra-conference transfer?

Or maybe this guy is just blowing smoke out of his arse to prop up his player.

Was that directed at my post?

He was once a coach at Jordan's high school. So you may be right.
