Sounds like he should have been a Highlander.
Someone is still bitter Abele chose Radford over UNCA.

...shouldn't all these types of rim shots be going to Winthrop anyway? There the ones who just had their starting line up audition for the cover of High Times.
Why would we be bitter about Abele choosing Radford?? Remember that we know more about him than you do.. Nothing to sweat over from my point of view..

Otherwise the WU comment is pretty accurate though..

Yeah, but that's all we've had the past 6 seasons.
No we had a coach staffing who won the Big South Conference Regular season and Tournament by like 45 points. Was pre season favorites to repeat, but suffered three key injuries. Rebuilt the roster to be the most talented in history, but was undermined by our slick AD. If RD coaches Alex, BJ, Brew, Ant , TJ & Rell come on.

I say this is an opportune moment for using the Foe feature. Saves you some future headaches.

Good choice for him I think. Excellent academics and he may get an opportunity to play. I wish him nothing but the best. I hated to hear Bill was leaving, not so much from a basketball standpoint as that he just seems like a great kid.

So that means sitting out a year, right, or are they DII? (I think BJ's Dad graduated from there).

They are a Division I MEAC school in same league with Hampton & Norfolk State. He'll sit a year but Howard's a great school to wait it out. Congrats to Bill.

Not only will he be able to play immediatly there, but I expect he'll play a bigger role. There aren't too many athletes like Bill at the D2 level.

The University of New Hampshire recently earned a commitment from transfer forward Patrick Konan from Liberty University.

The six-foot-five forward started for Liberty as a freshman and averaged 7 points and 4.5 assists per game.
Looks like for now he's still a forward. The 4.5 assists is totally wrong. Those were his rebounding numbers. He only had 17 assists all year.

Good luck to him.

Sounds like he mainly just wanted to leave. He was only a temporary solution at the 4 here. He would have been a 3 next year anyway, and either Brown or Johnson would be going somewhere else. I'm thinking we're better off, but time will tell

HMO had posted a while back that Pat wanted to play in the backcourt to get ready to be a guard in the NBA. I think we all know how unrealistic that is.

He got bad advice from bad advisers. They even said so themselves once they realized the grass wasn't actually greener. He was told he could be a mini-Seth.

Very bad advice. Every player now a days has someone in their ear. Sad

The person (who was in the situation first hand) said back court so I interrupted that into it being the 2....I'm sure it could a 3 or whatever you consider these hybrid types
