Smallwood is not listed on the roster, what happened to him.

Maybe he quit too.

He's no longer on the roster. What the heck?

Wrong.

I guess that was the other player you referenced was leaving?

Correct. Since Lavender and Smallwood weren't playing, that created a depth issue. Hopefully Ehsan can put these two scholarships to good use and bring in a couple guys that will actually contribute next year. I vote for a juco big and wing capable of making threes.

We have been voting for a JUCO big for the better part of a decade it seems. Those guys don't just grow on trees, so we need to have a backup plan.

We could just do a poll on who to recruit and hand it to the coaches and that will be the deciding factor.

Thomas Smallwood did not turn out to be the player that we had hoped he would be, but he was a good teammate, a true Blazer. I'm proud of him and hate to see him go. I wish him all the best.

yep

Why now?

Maybe to get a jump on recruiting for any extra spot or if he is close to graduating maybe it gives him time to focus on graduation.

Hate to see these guys not finish the season.
Who knows how it might have ended.
Enjoyed watching them play and wish them the best.
We will have to go with the players we have.
Hope we catch fire and win out!
Not ready to think about next year.

I think he's already graduated.

That's what I thought.

Do we anticipate any assistant coaches leaving as well?

Who knows but if I had to wager, (No I don't really want to and don't ask), I would say I bet there are staff changes. Just guessing.
