No, Pollard and Chewy hired Jeff Grayer to try to buy some goodwill for his dried out carcus. Grayer was here to be a shield after four lousy years where everyone knew that the only reason he was coming back was because we couldn't afford his buyout. Then Pollard wrote the stupidest letter in the history of athletic directors (whoever allowed that to happen should have been fired on the spot), and so they needed something to cover them for a short time.
I mean how hard would it have been to crucify Chewy with the greatest player in school history on the staff.
It's like his third year when they thought the conference would be down, and it was, so they thought if they scheduled THE most pathetic non-conference schedule in the history of the school, that they could win some games to give the illusion of progress. Of course Chewy still managed to steal losses from the jaws of defeat against Hawaii and Drake, so that negated any momentum that team could try to gather.
As far as this player, we should all be happy that this group looks like they want to run. And as guard poor as this program has been the past four years, I am all for getting as many athletic guards on the roster as possible.
