Really hard to build a winning program when this type of thing happens (30+ MPG guy transferring).

Something just doesn't seem right. Played 30+ mpg, maybe was going to play a little less this year and VA isn't all that far from PC. Doesn't add up to me..
....gotta love friartown...

AS far as players and rosters go...
I never count on anything until October and I actually see who's out there on the floor.
Been down this road too many times before.

This is crazy. This guy has seen all of the things that this program has been through the past couple of years and he decides to jump ship when there is literally no one left and it looked like we were getting ready to turn a corner. There has to be more to this story than we know. After reading the Pro Jo article and him not wanting to talk something doesn't add up.

The only thing I can think of is that he wants to be closer to his mother.

Am I the only one who is now spooked by the thought that we'll likely lose another player before the season begins? When shots out of the dark occur like this can anyone say they don't expect another one before too long? Maybe I'm paranoid or maybe I'm realistic but I'd be more surprised if this was the end of the attrition than if it were to continue.

The entire system of players transferring has me spooked. This is not how amateur sports should work.
With that said, school is out. The kids are on break untill summer session starts. If anyone else is leaving, they're gonna have to do it quick.

We should expect one more.................. Hopefully it works out for Josh in that he finds a good landing spot. He seemed liked a good kid.

Am I the only one who is now spooked by the thought that we'll likely lose another player before the season begins? Rajay would be my first worry. For this season or one in the future. Beyond that, My constant drum beating regarding the constant need to fill out your roster and never, ever hold schollies for a future year. The fact that Fortune transferred is not an event unique to PC. There is not a deeper, systemic issue with our program. But rather it is rather a symptom of an issue that is pervasive in college basketball in 2014. And barring a rule change, it will be worse next year too. The answer lies in using the new world of college athletics to your advantage. You must understand that you will lose players every year and often unexpectedly. Fickle teens chasing the prized brass ring at the Crescent Park merry-go-round but them not understanding that in the new world the brass ring is also a moving, rotating target. The new world has you in a constant of hunting for players in an always changing topography that is unreliable and unexpected both in what the players you have and the players you have. All other thinking is archaic and medieval.

Yet we're so quick to point out the problems/ scumbag coaches when players transfer from other programs.....let's worry about our own house.

I'm sure 71 has a positive behind this ..... Look at the bright side, the worst inbounder in PC history will no longer be inbounding.
