Parrish: What if Johnson would've never left

[cyismydog]

Your claim that all Wesley wanted was the "spotlight," and moved on to get more of it. You have no proof of that - he may have left for a good reason.
Again, players here say that they loved him - he was a great teammate.

But he didn't. :wink:

If WJ would have stayed our team chemistry would have been terrible, just like it was when he played here. He was a selfish player while he was here. He got twenty shots a game his sophmore year and was still not happy.

Why some people on this board hate the legitimate "what if" topic is beyond my wildest imagination........................

Just think if Craig Brackins was never born... Who would we have to replace him? and where would we be now?!?!

This is clearly water under the bridge but what always baffled me is why so many on this site put 100% of the blame for his departure on WJ and totally exonerated GM in the matter.

Cause we always know we have you with an axe to grind against Mac who will put the blame on Mac.

Yup. Why waste my time when I have these guys to do the work for me? :wink:

I think that's what my e-mail from ISU said.

And just as you said above, you have NO idea whether this is true. McDermott could very well have travelled all the way down to Texas because he was legitimately concerned about a player that seemingly disappeared in the middle of the night. That tells me there is a caring, considerate Coach. See, there can always be two versions of every story. And based on the timeline and events as clearly laid out in McDermott's press conference, I am much more inclined to give him the benefit of doubt over Wesley Johnson.

This...I'm glad we got a coach that cares enough about his players to do something like that.
