cheeseman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Did you see anything about why they were leaving their schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm really hating me some Butler Bulldogs. First, they get our slot in the Beast, now they're scooping up some solid A10 players. At least we can say we kicked their arse in the last two games we played them. One of them in that ancient airplane hangar they call an arena.

One at Chaifetz, one at Hinkle, and one in Brooklyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Savage is leaving based on his desire to play more point guard instead of two guard. He and Joe McDonald have been there since freshman year and McDonald has been the point. I can only guess that at 6'2" Savage sees his next level of play at the point and wants to develop that facet of his game. Personally I don't think he has NBA talent but every kid seems to think otherwise. Savage has to sit a year. For Gaithers, he graduated so he is immediately eligible wherever he goes. It appears to be a numbers game for him at SBU and he saw himself on the outside looking in. Plus with one year left, he migth want to give that a go at a program more inclined to finish somewhere better than the one in Olean. He averaged 8.2 ppg in his junior year including beating us in Brooklyn on that last second trey but lost all last year due to hip surgery.

Bizziken Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Bonnie posters on the A10 board alluded to there being some issues with Gathers, were not surprised that he left, and said it was more of a mutual parting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
