Clearly you need to get to the games live. This squad needs all the players they can get to pitch in. We can't be losing players with experience at this point.



But who wants a player that doesn't know what he wants? What good is experience if no one respects you?

If he comes back, as a former player, I look at him as a guy who didn't care enough for his brothers to stick it out and get there together. Not cut loose and go cherry picking with other teams.

And you dont need to go to a game live to know that leaders don't go shopping two years in, they set an example and LEAD! This isn't the NBA.

Besides...

Freshmen Year - 12.1PPG, 2.6 RPG, 1.6 APG
Soph Year - 9.1PPG, 3 RPG, 1.6 APG

He also only scored double digits 13 times last year out of the 33 games, that is mediocre stuff.

You must have missed my prior post... I agreed completely if the kid isn't a tiger let him go. I'm saying the fact it escalated to this point is a blow. We will survive and right the ship, but in no way can this be spun as positive.

Did you feel the same way about Justin Hamilton and all the other guys who transferred to LSU?

Turner wasn't happy under Trent and is going through a coaching change as well. It should be expecting that some guys will look around when their teams haven't been successful and a new coach is brought in.

He was also one of our top offensive players the past 2 years. He will be missed if he does transfer, because this year's team will be very limited offensively.
