Blackmon Thread

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,119]

why?

in a word, Crean.

I hate to add fuel to the fire but man, my tank keeps getting filled back up. Although, in Crean's defense he gave JB a lot of leeway all year. Winning solves a lot of ails. We aren't there.

If Blackmon would seriously take off out of shear dislike for Crean than someone needs to give Glass an earful about it.

Well he won't get an Anya option.. He will have to sit if he leaves for another school..

If this is all true IMO sounds like he's being a baby.

Technically he could transfer down lol

We saw so much on this board about losing players like Blackmon if we fired Crean, and if this talk is true we could lose Blackmon because of Crean.

The irony is thick.

i don't think we lose Blackmon, but there are good players on this years team that aren't pleased with Crean.

Pap once said he's not sure if we'd lose more players if Crean was fired or retained. I think this is a legitimate thought and concern.

I don't have enough info though to know exact reasons in individual cases.

Those that play usually like the coach but that may not be 100% true in our case. It's interesting.

He's looking for ANYA option to leave that is viable. Europe is dumb, won't do that. If he can somehow find a way to transfer w/o sitting he'll leave. If he can or has impressed some NBA team SOMEHOW and will get drafted in 1 two rds, I say he's gone.

I'm not saying he's gone, that's not what the source said and what the texts with JBJ Said. It's, he wants to leave.

There are no options to transfer without sitting. Unless he goes to D2.

under no circumstance could he? I'm wondering if he's thinking about using the D league as a way to get better? It is literally out of dislike of CTC.

Sounds like none of the three are.

Exactly

Exactly

Sounds like very few of the alumni are either...

  In division 2 he wouldnt get blocked on 4 out of every 5 drives to the rim.Could be a good move.

 He could be the star he and his current coach think he is.Our defense could improve immediately.

They were smart enough to not make the same mistake JBJ did

Seeing that Guyton tweet really bummed me out

I never said we would, merely that it was possible if the talk was true and it may not be.  I don't know I haven't heard.

 

I know I've heard before that players don't like Crean so I'm not surprised.

I may get blasted for this, but it seemed to me that Blackman has a bit of an I-Me-Mine streak to his play. Just my observation, and I could be misinterpreting what I see.

he was. If he didn't hit one of his first 3 shots, might as well play 4 on 5.
