His demeanor on the bench has been shite. He’s a selfish player, and that isn’t gonna fly here.

Yeah I wasn't buying all this "healthy scratch" talk. This guy has seemed p.o.'ed at the world all season. Why not just stay at Tulane>!?


I mean,being suspended or in trouble pretty much equals healthy scratch,doesn't it?

I guess it was worse the delivering the gun to a murder to get suspended.

Don't know about off the court and in practice, but his attitude on the court during games showed selfishness and "I" instead of "team" in my opinion. Don't think I ever saw him smile or cheer on a teammate.

I think many posters saw this early on.

It’s unfortunate, but I’m actually impressed this team found itself while this was happening.

Mentally tough squad in and out of games. One of the biggest positives from this year.

Yeah but he's been dressed out and on the bench during the games. That would indicate something other than disclipinary issues

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. I wasn't sure about MM at first, but I, like most people, am guilty of instant gratification. He's trending in the right direction. Needs to keep recruiting. Good players sure do make a coach look better.

Seriously not trying to be a jerk, but you heard this speech last year & can remember all of that? I can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Were you taking notes?

His defensive effort was atrocious. So was his attitude.

I remember he was coming off the floor after being substituted and CMM met him on the floor and was trying to talk to him, he wouldn’t even acknowledge CMM. Just walked right by him. This was shortly before his “injury”.

So what’s the word on Stewart? Is he also still injured?

Agree with everything you said about Cook.

Personally I think in terms of roster construction unrestricted transferring would be a net positive for us.
I'm gonna be optimistic and say that we overachieved in the portal the past offseason after that abysmal year. With almost all restrictions gone going into next year besides losing a scholarship (whether you put weight into them affecting recruiting or not) and the improved record as well as a possible NIT berth, I think we will have a strong transfer class coming in.
With that comes having to get rid of players. It'll be like last offseason for me when I was glad players were leaving. Wouldn't mind Stewart, Wilkinson, and Cook transferring. I think we can find improvements in the portal.

In terms of whether or not I care about players transferring out:

I HIGHLY doubt Fountain, Ward, Williams, and Reed transfer. I believe these four are key to the core of our team.

Chest and Collins are a maybe. I believe both will stay though. However, if one leaves, the other is going with him.

And as previously mentioned idm if Cook, Wilkinson, and Stewart transfer.
