Castro in the Portal

Yankee will be devastated...

We're making progress, CONN. These moves need to happpen.

[pc1971]

Castro has been given the opportunity.
Just was not able to produce at this level.

[friar82]

I hope that Castro makes the most of his next move and enjoys much success in life. He seemed like a great kid.

[thewalk]

fine either way with these guys. we need 3-4 starters so.

[rkarp]

yeah I have to think the team will improve of Castro and Santoro
wonder if he is instigating the transfer or if KE is telling them he is bringing in other guys?

Couldn’t agree more. Always played hard and never seemed to complain about his role. I think at the right level he can be a really good player. Just not the BE type level

i disagree with this. castro is more than welcome as a 10th man and would almost definitely get some PT as hopkins works his way back. doesn't seem like the type that would snitch about "not getting his".

other recent departures, may not be as cooperative.

could be. but I would assume if both Oswin and Bonke are here next season (Oswin reclassify) the team would still want a transfer big coming in to play major minutes. Similar to finding another Oduro. 
Castro perhaps the 4th option at C? if that is the plan, I would think KE would be honest with Castro about the plan, and allow Castro to decide if he wants to play minutes elsewhere, or be down the line here

[thewalk]

there a people who make us better if they are elsewhere. with a roster of 13 schollys and having a year of familiarity with the system, castro is not one of them. our only 4 may not be ready to start the year. that said, kim's job is to win games.

[hectorallen]

It's pretty clear what happened. Castro had his end of season meeting with the coaching staff and is leaving for a bigger role and more playing time. He's been practicing w Bonke for a few months, he's probably had a good look at Oswin, and he knows where he would slot in next year. I'm sure he was told what his role would be going forward and he is looking for greener pastures. I think it's a good thing for the team and Castro.

Why would he want to stay as a 3rd year player simmering as the 10th man on a long bench? I think it's best for him to move.

Lol, how many times did we play 10 players this year? Castro will be entering his 3rd year as a Friar and he should be happy being the 10th player? Good luck to him getting playing time elsewhere.

Low major or D2 and he'll get minutes.
