ISU's release regarding Darien Williams' release

[LutherBlue]

Not worried. I feel like some of you may be overreacting.

We're going all in for next year because with 1 or 2 more right pieces, we've got a chance to be great.

I think the hope was Williams was going to be one of those pieces.

I'm not tracking the "great, now we have more rides to add depth!!" thinking at all. Would these same people be even more excited if we had 6 or 7 open spots? Things may end up working out, but it is not ideal to have four open spots right now with four more and possibly 5 coming open after next year.

I don't think anyone is saying it's the best scenario. Just that we will be perfectly fine.

I for one am not concerned, if disappointed.

I just find it very irritating that ISU may have been paying a lot of money to recruit players to St. John's the past year.

Boy, does that make some of us look silly

Now, hold on. Perhaps Malone was living under a rock. Give him a chance to explain why he brought up a year old story, but didn't get the facts straight.

There were informal talks, never a formal interview.


And again, this was last spring.

RedlineSi!! Help us now!!

Fact is, he interviewed. Goodman sat in front of an ESPN camera and said he finished second.

Look, we all want Fred here. There are signs pointing to that ending sooner or later.

Goodman had the story wrong. As did you.

There are certainly at least a couple of people who appear to think it's a good thing because look at how much room we have for great players!!!

But, he really didn't.

So because someone said it on ESPN, it's true. Good one.

Sounds like Fred did show interest in Golden State, as he should've. Also sounds like Golden State knew that he will only be taking PERFECT jobs.

Golden State's team would've been a PERFECT Fred Hoiberg team. And he turned that down.

If that Golden State lineup was in Minnesota or maybe Chicago, he'd probably be gone.

That team screams Hoiball. Steph Curry is Monte+Tyrus x 10.

Nobody thinks it's a good thing, just that Fred and crew can make something good come of it.
Like Cy$ said, it sucks (right now). Right now isn't the end of the story.

 

[Wesley]

Its going to be real shady if he ends up at St Johns. Did Fred put any restrictions on the release?

Cm'n man, MA was more popular with the recruits than Fred.

Good to see everyone's overreact game is still strong right?

my lord people....relax. We will be just fine.

Yes, we will be fine. Few except a couple of trolls have said otherwise. The point is we are striving to be more than fine, and until the events of the last three weeks were poised to do so.

And those signs are.......?

 

[cyclonedave25]

And those signs are.......?

The most telling signs are probably that 2 walkons transferred.

There, I got the ball rolling Malone, you take it from here...

 

[mjhavlo76]

Something is rotten in Denmark here.... Hoiberg's departure may, or may not be imminent, but I think it is apparent he is grooming TJ for HC when his call to the Association becomes a reality.

So they produce proof, but you're still right and they're wrong? Still doesn't change you tried to correlate something that happened last summer to why Williams wanted out of his letter this week.

Hired a familiar face, that has been assistant coach here previously, thru two different head coaches, and is knowingly looking for a head coaching position.

Oh and he's a really good friend of the athletic director.....

This forum is getting plain ridiculous. The hyperbole is totally out of control. People are posting junk here, with absolutely no knowledge of what Fred and Matt have planned. It's beyond insane.

The crap posted here, trying to escalate the situation, makes me think there must be a lot of trolls on here; otherwise makes no sense.

Rather than feed the trolls, I'm signing off for the summer. There is no value to reading this crap. CF is done for now, at least for me.
