He KNOWS it's the best thing for him. Proves he's genuinely a smart kid.

He's got another year of eligibility. He'd be a returning starter with no questions asked.

Him leaving looks bad because it IS bad.

Congrats to Avery for graduating in 3 years...he could still get his Masters at Memphis if that was his main motivation. It's obvious why he's leaving...

It's only obvious to you me and anyone who wants to be honest. To the handful of rediculous posters like the guy from Canada and race car dude and chi-town and tigergregory----these people aren't real fans of the program. They simply have a facination with arguing.

Oh yeah. That pastnerized fellow is just like them. Defend Josh defend Josh defend Josh. No matter what these guys always spin it the other way and act like the blame rests anywhere but at the feet of wonder boy.

It used to be that we were criticized for not graduating players. Now we graduate them early and it comes back to bite us.

Maybe this is a good thing.. The more things keep getting worse maybe the big wigs will give in and do something out of necessity.. Who knows, but the more things like this keep happening maybe just maybe the pressure will get to be too much!!

Randall not a big loss under normal situation.

This isn't much different than how it felt when Austin decided to transfer. Wooodson was a guy who would have played as many minutes as he wanted and still decided to transfer. SMH

Did DADA make him leave too?

It's so incredibly amazing how Cybertiger, from day one, said the hiring of Pastner would destroy Memphis' program, and posters like stammers were so incredibly, so ostensibly wrong. And continued to promote this clown year after year.

Just shows who supports the program and who supports an agenda. We lost a lot of great posters over the years. Banned for being right.

Shame.

Woodson not good enough to be added to your list like Nichols and Black?

You still got your nose up Opie's ass?

Think about it

At the time, most of us were convinced that Paz was who we needed. He was the anti~Calipari. Lots of us were wrong. I know I was too...until just recently.

+3. It takes a big person to admit they're wrong, especially on a message board.

That one hurts...

Only shooter on the squad...

I watched Pastner on Sports File with Greg Gaston. Pastner is totally delusional. He dodged questions Gaston asked by defending his record and acting like nothing was wrong, even showed some irritation at some of the questions, kept talking about another good recruiting class and said transferring was part of the business and here at Memphis it's no different than anywhere else. He mentioned (sounding like the nerd that he is) how he's gonna scrape, kick, fight, punch, claw and do everything in his power to get back to the NCAA's. Still thinks the reason for the lack in attendance has many variables but never mentions the real reason why it gets worse each year. The kicker was when he said we were gonna be a good team next year. He mentioned (at least 20 times) that his total focus was getting back to the NCAA's next year. I finally had to switch the channel, his same old tired bullsh!t was more than I could take. I've gotten to the point to where I can't even stand to look at the guy much less listen to him spew his same bull crap over and over again. The sad part is, he actually believes he has the support of the majority of Tiger nation and things aren't as bad as they seem. As far as I'm concerned, him and his clown act can't be outta here quick enough.
