Is he playing against Memphis?

Has been reported he is.

Key question is when does UAB’s semester ends? I would think if he is transferring he will play until the end of the semester and be enrolled at the new school before next semester starts to start the clock on sitting out a year.

But hopefully he isn’t going anywhere and will be a productive teammate

I hope he stays and gains some maturity. Be a leader by taking responsibility and not pointing fingers at your team mates. If you are the best (he is) then show it with your play and your attitude. Make the guys around you better.

Bryant is a good player but he's miles away from AJ, Squeaky, and Steve in the leadership department. Too bad because he could also be a great one.

He’s also only a sophomore to who a lot of pressure has been handed. Mitchell had Mincy. Squeaky had Demario, Donnell and several other teammates who could share the load. AJ had Sanders, Vaden, Delaney and Moore.

We need another player to develop (quickly) to share that load

If we are going to give Ehsan time to learn to become a head coach, we can damn sure give the best all around ball player in years time to mature. Supposedly he is transferring after physically assaulting a coach according to Blazertalk. Do we know if any of this is true?

I heard it was a verbal altercation and he threatened to transfer after being suspended

The only thing I heard about him definitely transferring was the poster who likes to mishear overheard conversations and confused him with the QB from Clemson transferring to Missouri

Here in Memphis for BBQ and basketball. Blazers at noon then King James and Lakers tonight. Sure hope Bryant stays and developes into an all timer

Any update? He isn't starting today. Is he in uniform?

according to Ehsan pregame interview with Crane.

Memphis was on the way while traveling to Missouri. He figured he might as well get in one more game.

That’s what it was.

That was gong around the GG room and I tried to shut it down when it got back to me but the kid from math class insisted it was the gospel

I know, Zac Bryant is a great player, and I, understand one game is not a measuring stick, It seemed as if the Blazers were playing with better with out him.

Not to me. Bryant drives open up the outside.

No one was saying we played better without him during the UNA game.

Trust me when i tell you we are better with him. Night vs day better.

If I were coaching against us, I'd pack the lane and dare us to shoot. Bryant is best for the team when he can drive AND finish. In our 2 losses to major programs, finishing those drives was a problem.

This team drives to the basket more than any team we’ve had in recent years. Unfortunately they don’t finish well. You would think a team that goes to the basket this much would be at the free throw line more but we have shot much less free throws in previous years. Most of the drives end in offensive fouls. The team needs to learn how to draw contact without the offensive foul

It seems like the guys make up their mind when their outside the 3 point line that they're driving to the basket and throwing up a shot. No look to drive and kick, no matter the defensive positioning, just driving heads down and hoping for the best.
