Fred getting killed on TWITTER

[Stewo]

Yeah there’s a reason those kids don’t broadcast that’s what happened. It doesn’t help anyone, especially them.

In Fred's case, it certainly isn't going to help with high school recruiting. I'm not sure that it matters/he cares too much, but it's not a great look and it can (and will) be used against him in recruiting.

I mean, he kind of did that here to Richard Amardi.

And it was kind of ****** of him. It’s business and it’s not the worst thing ever, but I’m not sad he’s taking a tiny bit of heat for it.

I think that situation was almost worse

I forget what happened with that

And if they make it so that a kid pushed out doesn't have to sit a year what is there to keep him from saying he was pushed out even if the coach didn't push him out? Or what is to keep him from sandbagging the end of the season - not showing up for practice so the coach has no choice to ask him to leave? I feel for kids who are pushed out, too, but it isn't quite that easy to fix.

Doesn't the NCAA take into consideration if there is a coaching change? I thought some players in the past were granted a waiver because a change in the coaching staff created these exact situations.

I forget what happened with that

He was signed (signed, not just committed). We needed space for Kane. We told him to get lost. He ended up at Oregon in a pretty good situation.

That is a bit different. Armadi wasn't here yet and well, he did punch his coach and give him a concussion, accidentally but still.

Pushing a kid out isn't any rare but does the kid usually hop on social media and say thats what happened? Not blaming the kid, I'm sure he was upset but it seems most kid word it a little more pc.

He didn’t jump on social media. It happened on Wednesday and was reported on Thursday in the World Herald

Appears to be a nice kid from Nebraska

That was a pretty bad situation on our end but at least we told Richard to leave instead of Edozie because we knew Richard would be able to land somewhere good

Ah. It’s coming back now. Thanks

He didn’t have to sit out a year though did he?

 

[cydsho]

To be fair, Fred probably forgot some basketball players actually take finals.

In another curve ball, Elgin Cook went there at the same time.

That's one way of wording it. Fred did ask him to transfer, but he helped Amardi find his landing spot. Pretty sure Richard even thanked him on twitter afterwards.

Cut a kid from Nebraska 1 hour before his final test of the semester.

No Hoiball for you.

It’s fine but it’s silly to pretend we wouldn’t have killed Iowa for doing the same thing.

Fred’s fairly shady. I liked it when he was here. I hope it bites him in the ass now

 

[snowcraig2.0]

Let's just be honest. Fred's kind of a **** sucker.

We most certainly would have killed them for it.

Coaches have to make a lot of tough decisions and have a lot of tough conversations. Makes me laugh when posters say they would take the job for a fraction of the salary.

 

[VeloClone]

I can feed the Fred is an ******* narrative: When he got to ISU, he kicked a kid off of the team before he even got moved into the Head Coach's office.

Yeah, there is a little more to the story...

asked to leave on finals week turns into 1 before test very quickly
