No. If you bought it because you liked it then it’s all good and you have a great new outfit to wear to the park. If you bought it as a way to bribe a guy to keep playing for your team but it didn’t work….then I guess that’s on you. It’s all a game now and players are gunna maximize their earning potential any way possible. But you can return a shirt to the store, right? dlarry, laker119 and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, but I feel probably the way most SLU fans on here feel. Spoonhour left us for UNLV, probably for a reason. We are now entering a new era for the term “Win at All Costs.” The gap between the haves and the have-nots is expanding rapidly. May has to understand that Yuri’s transfer is a direct shot across the bow at the way this University conducts itself and handles the present and future success of its athletes. It is a referendum on Ford’s tenure here, too. MusicCityBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we get a PG to transfer in, it will all be fine. Yuri is amazing. Like super amazing, but he isn’t perfect. He only thrives in a loose system, and he makes a lot of turnovers. The problem is that system leads to more turnovers across the board. Everything will probably be fine. Just different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a last gasp money grab from SLU fans. No, it was probably just a front for a wealthy Tennessee booster to give him money. This is how it's going to work for a little bit before they finally just pay players directly. ARon and 3star_recruit like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShoe Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This one truly makes me sad. I don't blame Yuri at all for this. Many of us would do the same if we were in his shoes. I just feel like this is sort of the beginning of the end. College sports is already the ultimate laundry sport (cheer for the jerseys), but in most cases you kind of knew what to expect even if they were only here for a year or two. Now we have no idea when or if a player will leave and every year we'll just become more jaded/pessimistic with each surprise departure. My guess is that Ford will get a better than adequate replacement at PG. Hell, he may even get two of them now that he has minutes to offer. But getting a one- or two-year replacement player doesn't compare to watching players like Jett, Evans, Mitchell, etc. for 4 years. I'm not sure what the NCAA can do at this point, but the future of college sports for anyone that is not a fan of a Duke or an Alabama looks pretty f'ing bleak.

mrjoelabs Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I have it on good authority (former coach of Yuri) that 90 percent of this was him being tired of Ford's crap and not buying in anymore. But you guys think hes a good coach... We just went from being in the top 25 preseason on CBS and ESPN to not winning the A10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
