to be honest, as talented as he is, if he only wants to play "me" ball, then go somewhere else to play "me" ball. normally when someone as talented as watson transfers from our program, i feel a bit of heartache about it. but in this case, i don't.
can't win playing "me" ball in a team sport and i luv my "team" far more than someone who insists on playing "me" ball. nonetheless, i wish him the very best wherever he goes...

The portal giveth and the portal taketh away. In this new world of college sports we live in I would much rather have kids that want to be here. The portal from what I have seen is not a sure bet, and once you say I’m leaving it’s hard to come back if things don’t work out.

I hope we don't have others to transfer such that it puts added pressure on the new coach to bring in additional talented recruits. It's one thing to target a few talented players, but another thing for a new coach to be asked to bring in 5 to 7 talented players.

Based on the lack of coaching he got this season, who can blame him?

His mom told me at the CAA Tournament that she told the coach that he could win the game for him...... Also, she hinted at lack of NIL, etc.

Also, she hinted at lack of NIL, etc. I think you mean that she was saying she told Coach Shumpert that her son (Marcus) could win the game for him (Coach Shumpert). If so, that's mom/family speak and I don't like it.

That could benefit the new coach...he can bring in players that fit his scheme. It worked for Coach Prime

And is the new coach a good recruiter. If not, he could be filling in those spots with the same or lesser talented players. Unknowns.
