Enlighten the board since you were witness to how this played out.
The player ran the show since he walked in the door. Took your boy a couple of years to build up the nerve to run him off. he probably had the strength coach do it.

Given the one year pass we grant 1st year coaches, you take redshirt transfers like that.
There may not be any redshirt necessary if/when current NCAA transfer legislation passes - would allow every college athlete a one-time transfer with immediate eligibility....
Also, you take a transfer like this at any point in time. When is the last time we had a 6’11” player with a pulse?

After we signed Gordon I believe Jude was transferring weather it was Rob or AK at the helm. Gordon was already better than Jude in some aspects and he wasn't even In college yet.

We all had an idea. Also, with the “bigs” we have coming back, It shouldn’t be hard for Andy to convince Gordon of staying and getting immediate PT if he feels strong about him.

Jude still wasn't ready for D1 basketball this season. When they decided to give him the RS and not Pearson, said a lot. Looks great in the airport though so somebody might give him a look, like the kid who went to OSU.

Funny! If you delete “hard” next to “ass”, I believe you have a better description of Bobby Knight.

It would have been interesting if that would have happened.
if he stayed around riding the bench, what does that say for our previous staff talent scouting and player development.
I wonder if AK is running him off or just reading the writing on the wall?

You've obviously never watched RoadHouse. Dalton fired half the bouncers on his first day.
