A player really has to cluster it up to not get to be able to sit on the bench much less plan in games.

I would guess he got here, decided he didn't really want to be here, & rode out the semester to be eligible next season for wherever he intends to go.

Once again, the teammates don't seem to care and are playing with determination.

Maybe still in on Mark Sears remember we visited him up in north AL awhile back supposedly had all the bells and whistles out for him. 247 has us in Silas mason top three 6-7 sf from NC. Also Jamel King is still available instate guy.

Recently offered by Wash (or Wash St)...

Good luck to Spencer. I’m sure he will be successful elsewhere. Another disturbing trend.

At some point, it’s on the coach.
If one kid transfers from time to time, it happens.

When multiple starters transfer. A star player is cuts the program. A big recruit transfers without ever touching the floor...
Well, there’s a common denominator. They may all be for different reasons, but you can’t build a program like that.

I haven’t been an Ehsan basher. I still hope he motivates this team and gets them to a conference tourney championship

But...at SOME point, the roster turnover has to be on the coach

Thank you for the common sense. The revolving door roster is not a sign of a healthy program.

I think we offered Isaac Chapman, a 6'6" guard out of Cordova, a couple of years ago but he signed w/Campbell. He transferred to a JUCU(NE Miss?) this year. Looks to be having a good season...

In other news, the player kicked off the team earlier this season will transfer to Georgia Southern.

This is the guy I want, so far we haven’t re offered. Could be another great class. This past class could be Ehsan best one with the play of Kass, Benji, and JB.

Seems like an Ehsan recruiting issue

Could be simply a "fit" issue or coaching staff over-estimating ability and a recommending that the player leave.

Memphis guard Ryan Boyce enters transfer portal
https://247sports.com/college/memphis/Ar...140313758/

Seems like a theme as a slew of former UAB commits who chose to go elsewhere, including Brown and Boyce at the very last second, have/are transferring. The grass is not always greener...

So she did dump him after all. Called it.

Wow!

did he decommit on good terms?


He kinda reminds me of Robert Brown with his height/weight....

Would be wild if he came here to play.....

Article says Boyce was committed to UAB. I thought he actually signed w UAB and Ehsan released him from the letter of intent.
