He's been fired.

Wonder what the players think? Wonder who transfers?

Depends on who Ingram hires.

And how quickly the hire is made. I imagine being in limbo on whether you fit into the new coach’s system may cause some to be proactive.

I don't see this "search" being drawn out very long, but we'll see.

So much for the talented 5th yr big we reached out to from Georgia tech

Should make this a transfer/recruiting thread.

Jamarius Burton leaving Wichita State, too

I'm sure they're upset but they are young men and they know college basketball is a business. I hope they all decide to stay but they have to do what is right for them just like UAB has to do what's right for the program.

These guys aren't dumb. They had to see the empty seats and kinda see it coming. Most everyone else did.

It was apparent two seasons ago that Ehsan was in over his head. He's fortunate to have gotten four seasons at this level. UAB was very fair to him. He should have no complaints.

Agreed, not that i care that much just been around for the last three all had interesting moments. Davis was a "splash hire". Haase the players comments, especially Alexander Scotland Williamson. Ehsan the keep the band together for him to shred the roster same year. Just wonder what these guys think " i came here to play for coach Ehsan".

Honestly i would keep four Brinson, Lovan, Pearson, and Gordon no offense to the rest. Hope Rob Williams and AJ stick around. A new leader with Scootie wouldve been awesome.

I guess it’s dumb of me to list former recruits of what is now the former staff, if the connection is no longer there.

But not the red-shirted practice stud that just couldn't get into good enough shape to dominate? LOL. Man, some of the yarns that have been spun about this staff's recruiting.

Not really i know one former recruit is number 26 behind Tyriq silver. I still really like silver's game. Hope the new guy recruits instate a little more.

Benjamin is fine, just hit the freshman wall. Rongie Gordon - forgot about him. He had 8 rebs tonight vs Miss in HS All-star game...

That one took the cake. Lol

Benjamin just doesn’t need to be the best scorer on the team. If he is, the team is in trouble. He can be a really good floor general and solid shooter with the right pieces around him.
