I think Coach tries to get one of the graduating transfers who can come in and play next year. Hopefully a guard. There are about 6 uncommitted 6'+ guards uncommitted. Deadline to sign is May 21 so we should know in the next week.

That just doesn't make any damn sense unless Hickey was a terrible teammate.

Not disagreeing with you, I just don't get what Jones is doing here. I'd much rather he show loyalty to his own players than replace them with one year of a graduate transfer.

There is a quote somewhere that maybe South can dig up... asked about leaders for the upcomming season CJJ listed Jarell and Jordan... NOT his senior PG. He's never been a leader, will never be one. It's just who he is. Had a ton of strikes with the staff... not just 3.

Hickey and Coach Jones never saw eye to eye. Jones strongly enforces the concept of being a student athlete. Hickey is a good kid who did many good things, but he would skip class, skip study sessions and wasn't doing well with his classes.

I think Jones was tired of dealing with a player who wouldn't follow the rules.

The only reason I am taking about a grad transfer is we don't want to take a so-so guy who would take up a scholarship next year. We would want a 1 yr guy or noone because we have a good shot at a big class next year.
