Update on Former Players

[Chizit]

I was bored tonight and wanted to see how some former players were doing. I had all the tabs open so I figured I would share incase anybody cared.


Looks like Bubu is holding his own in the D-League pretty well

Cam Fowler is playing for Niagra

Bryan Petersen is head coach at Kirkwood

Aaron Law is riding the bench at Coastal Carolina

Eric McKnight transferred(3rd time now) to Long Beach State

LaRon Dendy is playing in a small league in Turkey

Charles Boozer is playing in the ABA somewhere

We all know what that ****** Lucca is doing

This got way longer than expected...

 

[jsb]

That's some serious research.

I thought Sledge was still at Iona. I wonder why he left there?

 

[roundball]

Nothing on Aaron Agnew or Clint Varley?

 

[helechopper]

A fun read. Thanks.

 

[Rabbuk]

I think justin hamilton got waived this week.

 

[Chizit]

I think justin hamilton got waived this week.

You're right. I had actually read that before I posted this too. Whoops.

 

[Chizit]

Nothing on Aaron Agnew or Clint Varley?

As far as I know, Agnew finished his career as a football player at Robert Morris.

I heard Justin Hamilton went to play for New Orleans in the NBA to be closer to home.

I still think that McDermott lost me as a fan when he couldn't keep Wesley Johnson here and then he went on to be an all-star for Syracuse. That is when I "knew" McDermott wouldn't pan out.

 

[jpete24]

And another thing, wouldn't Okoro rather be riding pine for a team who is 21-8 versus riding pine for a team who is 10-20?

 

[DeereClone]

Great list. Thanks!

 

[cmjh10]

And another thing, wouldn't Okoro rather be riding pine for a team who is 21-8 versus riding pine for a team who is 10-20?

If I remember correctly, he transferred because his father and brother passed away in a short amount of time.

Thank goodness he didn't

I think Mac lost faith from fans in several steps.
1) When Rahshon's scoring average was literally cut in half in Mac's first year,
2) Watching Wes kick *** over at Syracuse,
3) Seeing Brackins absolutely take over certain games, then not seeing any wins translating from such a dominant player, and
4) (This one hardly counts, but it kind of reaffirmed the disdain for Mac) Seeing Diante Garrett average 17 points and go from a minor contributor to an NBA prospect in less than one year.

Mac had the talent, he just couldn't win.

 

[enisthemenace]

And another thing, wouldn't Okoro rather be riding pine for a team who is 21-8 versus riding pine for a team who is 10-20?

Only way he'd be "riding pine" on this team would cost him tuition. Getting a free education at Rutgers.

 

[WastedTalent]

The talent on this team is pretty damn insane:

8 guys that still play bball for money, plus Scottie C.

Looking back at that squad, the fact that McDermott couldn't get them over 15-17 was just terrible. I remember that year too, it was probably the most frustrating McDermott year. He had NCAA tourney talent and couldn't get it done.

 

[Rabbuk]

Did Scotty stop playing?

The take away is that we're playing the best basketball in school history right now, and our ceiling looks to only get higher.
