“Mass exodus”? More like “trimming the fat”.

Did N’Diaye actually “distance himself from the program” or just get on with life rather than trying to play BB through all the injuries? That writer seemed to be attempting to paint as bleak of a picture as possible for a good part of the article. With the exception of Eubanks, who is attempting to go pro, our leaving players either graduated or are leaving for more playing time because it’s obvious they’ll be buried on the depth chart.

Eubanks made a mistake, there's no arguing that but what's done is done. Kone, Manual and Smith.....really, good luck where you land.
Returners are talented so if even a couple of the new guys can play we will be better. Big G has trimmed up, I don't think he's the answer in the paint but he'll have to eat some minutes. I'm most excited about Washington and Campball. Vernon might be the wildcard.....hope so. The other bigs are going to take time but they are both 7 footers and you can't coach height. I like this roster.

I think Big G will pleasantly surprise. 10 points and 6-7 rebounds a game really isn't far off of Drew's output. Defensively Drew probably changed a lot more shots than Big G might, but depending on Big G's screens and his taking up space and blocking out on rebounding he just might put teammates in better position to score and rebound.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the other bigs bring to the mix. My biggest worry with Big G is that he'll be foul prone, but that was a big issue for Drew for quite a while as well.

In case people didn't notice Eubanks failed to get a combine invite. Of course he will get on opportunity to show his game at personal or group workouts. Based on his comments last year after his sophomore year he was obviously in a hurry to get out of town and start drawing a paycheck. Odds are he will end up in the G league or at an obscure destination overseas. IMO he is not good enough to play in the better European leagues. I wonder what he will think of his decision years from now. I think most of us look back on our experiences on college campuses with great fondness. Not sure what the rush was to leave, Making a living playing basketball will be there in a year or two. He will probably make a solid living playing, but it is not like he is going to be getting rich. Hope the best for him...

He didn’t like school, so he graduated and moved on. Nothing wrong with that. He will either make it or he won’t. But I don’t understand criticizing a kid that didn’t want to be here any longer.

We need grad transfers.

“Mass exodus”? More like “trimming the fat”. Exactly. Opens up scholarship spots for players who actually may see the court outside of scrub minutes. Except for Eubanks, will anyone remember the transferring and/or faded away (N'Diaye) players a year from now? it is like Blazer fans that pine for some bench player that got traded 3 seasons ago that is now playing in the Estonian League.

“Mass exodus”? More like “trimming the fat”. Will our coach see it that way or will he talk about how times are tough because we have to integrate so many new guys or the new kids aren't quite ready/rotation is too short? I sure hope I don't hear either one of those this season...
