Status of RU Basketball Program - Jellyman's View

[Greene Rice FIG]

Parker left to go to a better program, Eddie spun it as he left because of playing time issues...omg on this roster, Kwe wasn't going to have to battle for playing time

OMG

Doorson is here because Dixon let him go

So you're saying Eddie let him go? And you know this because 1) he had Kwe here to visit weeks before decommitting, 2) because a staff member's kid commented about the decommitment on Twitter, or 3) he committed somewhere else relatively quickly after receiving another offer?

And in regards to Doorson, yes Dixon let him go. But what does that have to do with Eddie and Kwe Parker? Fact is more kids decommit of their own free will than coaches "let them go". And it's pretty clear Kwe left on his own.

Wonch, I don't know if EJ let Parker go. You are the one that made the statement that "Coaches don't "let" players go.:" which is not true.

I would disagree as a general observation as coaches rarely let committed players go. Because 1) the players aren't obligated to them yet either way and 2) only the top programs seemingly do. So I'll rephrase, GENERALLY, coaches don't let go of committed players. And one can deduce from what I brought up in my previous post that Eddie's situation with Kwe is more likely due to Kwe wanting to go somewhere else and not the coach.

This staff gets a BIG, FAT "F" right now - plain and simple - and, unfortunately, I don't see it changing. The rest - and no disrespect meant to Jelly or anyone else - is all "fluff." There is absolutely no reason to have any faith in this team winning a single conference game, this year, and more than 4 or 5, next season, thinking anything else - right now - is pointless and baseless.

I think you need to stop belittling our players.

I trust in Eddie and I'm sure he had his reasons to let Parker go.

Dude you need to pass that stuff you inhaled around!
