So at the risk of getting even more disappointed, what do you think George is implying here? That he knows Tyrese didn't really like ISU, that he knows Tyrese has always wanted to play for a blue blood, that Tyrese doesn't think our coaches or our offense can showcase him enough? (which I doubt since he blew up nationally during Sweet 16 run).
What the heck is it?
George isn't implying anything other than this may not be all about money.
An 18 year old who stuck out a coaching change.
TJ was not the original recruiter. Doesn't mean anything bad........just wasn't the guy.
ISU is no blue blood and Tyrese could have went anywhere. He stuck it out at the school after they fired the guy that recruited him and was a big part in ISU winning 22 games and making the sweet 16. And now he wants to leave.
Look at Grill.......ISU to UNVL to ISU. If TJ left now......it would be a safe bet Grill would transfer again. Maybe to where TJ is going.
This stuff happens. Is a little frustrating TJ couldn't keep that type of talent, yes......but it is what it is.
I'm under no illusion that TJ is the end all-be all of recruiting like some have painted him. No one should be. He did a great job of mixing left over talent with transfers. Now he will have to do it all again.
Who knows.......22 wins and a sweet 16 might be the best ISU get out of TJ. I hope not, but I don't know.
