Topic: C Thomas is gone

[Herd It All]

according to Dave Wilson and done deal

[luvherd]

Who is that?

[svherd]

Basketball player.

[Herd It All]

may be one more player out the door in addition to Thomas        DD will not put up with any crap

Wonder what happened?  This guy was a returning 6-5 guard who scored 13 a game.

[herdtrlrunnr]

Pure speculation but I'm thinking due to timing it could be grades. 

[cliffherd15]

Daily Mail article says their source told them it was a violation of team rules.

[Herd It All]

Dont know for sure but I think a bad attitude was a major factor in his release

[iherdya]

Pure speculation but I'm thinking due to timing it could be grades. 

Complete speculation, since the semester has been over for about a month now, and if it was grades, they likely wouldn't have let him practice and workout with the team for a month after flunking out.

I wish him well, but if it is team rules that would follow suit of a typical herrion player. All world player with all world poor attitude. Wish him well though

[luvherd]

Another Herrion head case. I totally lost interest in basketball the last couple years. I now may buy a couple of LL tics even though I can only make a handful of games.

[QuickStrike]

I have complete confidence & trust that DD will make the right decisions on team personnel that will make the program better in the long run.  Would have been nice to have Thomas return at G, but we will make due without him.  Hopefully, if it's an attitude thing that is from Herrion's coaching, it can be changed and a resolution to be brought back can be worked out.  Did this player have some attitude issues also last season?

[Carolina_Thor]

This is is first year we all realize he will have challenges to be successful this year, now is the time to clean the house, as expectations are reasonably set with the fan base.

Poor attitude.  DD tried to work with him but it wasn't to be.

I know you've attended a few practices... is this something you witnessed, or is it just something you've heard?

[whf]

I am confident he had his chances to figure out what was required and make it happen. Sorry that he didn't as he is actually a pretty good talent to lose; but hey, no go...then go. 

[MUonium]

seems if there's been a different team every year since Jones coached.   gonna be a new team next yr too, since a few seniors will be leaving.   a restless start to the new century for Herd BB

[mubowhunter]

I would say 2 words..me-attitude.

[The Right Stuff]

I heard today that he slept through and missed a practice.  That is just what I heard so don't take it as the gospel.  That and the me attitude.

Too bad.  I never knew anything about the guy's attitude, but thought he was the one returning player who would thrive under DD's system.

[The Right Stuff]

He would probably been given the green light under DD's system.  I don't know what goes through their minds sometimes.

As I read the bio... Ticking time bomb.

I hoped he saw the light and would thrive under DD and other coaches.

Did not happen. Sad for he kid and team.... But can't force what doesn't want to make it work.

who else's name is being thrown around?

[goherd50]

I thought there might be some more attrition.  I keep seeing quotes from DD that most of the players are buying in to the new system.  Use of the word most led me to believe that one or more weren't.
