I don’t understand fans calling someone soft because he went to another school. He’s not from Memphis. The Cincinnati rivalry likely means nothing to him. Just like he probably wouldn’t know if he transferred to Louisville or UT or whatever. College sports is basically pro sports. If you aren’t playing whatever role you want you transfer. Guys are coming to college worried about rivalries or whatever. That’s a bad look for that fan really.

Whatever happened to that poster ? Since Penny made the tournament he lost one of his cute catch phrases

I think he’ll make a swell point guard there.

Football and basketball players are no longer college students playing a sport for their school. They are professional athletes playing a sport that is affiliated with a school that will maximize their chances to move up to a higher pro level.

If you want to play for pay then there's potential heat that comes with the paycheck.

Honestly that is a fair comment.

No attacks of the people who said it...No attacks on the school.

Just stating what he believes are the facts...Second person who said he wasn't wanted.

Not fair.
His perspective.
It was fine and respectful enough.
But not fair.
It's likely the same old, "you didn't center everything around me, so you didn't want me" perspective.

Or any other team…. There’s only about 4 teams he could have went to and wouldn’t have still had the support of Tiger Nation. Hope he has a great pro career though.

Persona non grata
with that choice

Don't throw stones at Nolley. We are bringing in Kendrick Davis (SMU), and are actively pursuing Caleb Murphy (USF). The transfer portal is making college sports crazy.

Nolley was basically another "prima donna".. you could tell there was always chemistry issues with Penny during timeouts and likely before closed doors.. He won't be missed.

Wish him luck because he is gonna need lots of it at Cincy lol.. Cincy is not what it used to be.

Maybe Cindy will play him all the time and he’ll be healthy and the chemistry between him, his family,the team and the coaches will be great! Maybe he will live up to expectations.

I do want the best for him and any other player that passes thru.

Best of luck to him for all but a few games next year.

Poor baby got his wittle feelings hurt. Help me mama cause they are being mean to me. Just wait for the real world.

it appears some of the upper classmen who caused chemistry issues earlier in the season were told to pack.
May not be the case in reality, but it appears to be the optics thus far.

It's a theory, not a conclusion.
It comes from life.
Feel free to believe everything one side of the relationship tells you.

Well bless his heart….

Supposedly there were a bunch of off court issues that made things going forward more strained. Sometimes starting fresh somewhere else is the right answer no matter where it is that they actually land.

Strained is the word I was searching for.

Let's hear it for fresh starts!

Sounds like he was pushed out by Penny. Perhaps Penny has bigger plans for the team. Who knows, but don't blame Nolley, especially after he made it clear what happened and apparently wanted to stay.
