Percy Gibson transferring
- Thread starter MayorsAge
- Start date
He has a RS year left. So he will have a full 5th year to play if he stays D1.
Depends on what you define as "hearing anything bad about him". Certainly not from a morality standpoint. Coaching staff tried to light a fire under his butt multiple times though. He just had a really bad work ethic from a basketball standpoint. They tried to fix it and couldn't. Some kids just don't love the sport. It's not for everyone. Royce is a good example. Royce just happened to be 100x more talented than PG. Neither one really likes bball though.
Good luck to Percy at his next school.
It's too bad he didn't pan out the way we all hoped. He showed some great promise his first year. But to his credit, during the last two seasons when he saw less and less of the floor, he remained a good teammate. During shots of the bench or postgame videos, he was clearly excited for the rest of the team and quietly put in his time without being a distraction. That's more than you can ask for someone in his situation. Hats off to the big man!

Hopefully he finds a good place for him to fit in. Maybe even finds his right hand along the way.
Not surprised. I really thought he showed some flashes of promise as a freshman and as a sophomore, then this last year he just kind of disappeared. Seemed like a good teammate all the time though. Tough to transfer for only your senior year, but maybe a smaller school will be better for him. Wish him luck and I hope he gets an opportunity.
There is a big range between living/breathing/sleeping basketball and "not liking" basketball.
Nothing against Percy but he was playing along side Royce his freshman season. If Royce wasn't drawing attention away from Percy, he was setting him up down low with his assists. Royce leaving hurt Percy. I think Percy can go and be very productive somewhere else and wish him all the luck in the world but I figured he probably wouldn't get many minutes next year (and he probably thought so too so that's why he made the decision). Again best of luck to him. I hope he makes the most of his next situation.
Just wasn't a great fit in Fred's system. Seemed like a good teammate. I never heard a bad word about him outside of the message boards. Hopefully he finds a good fit somewhere else and succeeds. I hope to hear his name mentioned on another roster in the NCAA tourney in a couple years.
Seemed like a great guy. Wish him the best.
Also, we already knew this, but this is proof that McKay and Nader are going to be good. Percy probably felt there was no way he could beat out those guys for playing time.

Good luck to Percy wherever he goes. Seemed to have a good attitude.
Interesting fact though. Had he stayed for his senior year and ISU made the NCAA Tournament next year, he would have been the first and thus far only player in school history to go the NCAA tournament in all 4 years at ISU.
