Topic: Terrence Thompson Gone

I know for a fact that one they have been on for months is still available

 If it's the one DD has been after for a long time then all will be more than well.

As much fun as it is to be a guard or scorer in the offense it can't be much fun being the guy(s) responsible for rebounding/defense in the middle.

Justin Johnson is playing football at WKU

Marin Maric went to DePaul

Jack Whitman went to Kansas and left

Depends on your skill set.  A quick rebounding 6-6 to 6-9 type player could thrive in DD's offense simply roaming around close to the basket getting offensive rebounds then put backs for points.  Defense is defense.

Not trying to negative, but does anyone think Danny might have not renewed his scholarship (cut him). College sports is a tough business.

I think more likely Danny laid out Thompson's options knowing what was coming down the pipe and let him make his decision from the information.  I'm guessing here but I see it as a mutual parting rather than either party screwing the other.  I think this is a positive thing, because I also don't know if Thompson had the chops to the big guy on the court.

I watch him daily at practice and I agree. He's a great kid, however and intelligent.

If DD can land a good JUCO player that helps us for the next 2 seasons.

It sounds like to me that this could have been an academic decision.  I wish him well.  He is a very nice young man that has a great future ahead of him.

I've heard DD many times at practice say his system is great for the inside guys. They can make a living on pick and rolls when done correctly and when done correctly, it can't be stopped.
