Daniels asks for release from SIU

Da Coach said:
But why should the AD place such a severe restriction on the kid after he did everything SIU asked him to do (raised his GPA to help SIU)?

SIU did everything Setty asked them to do. Setty said he wanted his release to be closer to home because of a sick family member. SIU is allowing him to go closer to home. He is getting exactly what he asked for.

Be careful what you ask for sometimes you get it.

Just giving him his outright release should be the norm in this case. Doing anything else will only hurt SIU in the future. Whatever the real reason I'm sure recruiters will spin this multiple ways that will do more damage to SIU then just letting him go.

Yes, I read that. But why should the AD place such a severe restriction on the kid after he did everything SIU asked him to do (raised his GPA to help SIU)? By restricting him only to schools less than 370 miles from his hometown of Maysville, Kentucky (370 miles is the distance to SIU) they are prohibiting him from considering around 90% of all D1 schools. We are real late in the process, so transfers already have a tough time with over 400 kids transferring, and most schools already filling their allowable 13 scholarships, that it could really hurt a marginal D1 player like Setty. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at a D2 school because of his limited options in D1. As I said, I simply do not see any reason short of a tampering issue (which is not the case) why a school like SIU should place any restrictions on the kid's transfer.

If he wanted to be closer to home, then he prohibited himself from considering 90% of all D1 schools.
 
I understand that he said that. But why shouldn't the choice be his? Kids say they are homesick all the time when they ask for release, then go to schools farther away. Remember Danny Granger?
There is no reason why SIU should command such control over his choice? How does this restriction benefit SIU any?

Then why not just say that? Has the sick family member had a quick recovery?

Sorry, I just don't see it that way. A kid should be released without restrictions unless there was tampering. What business is it of SIU's, and why should it matter if anyone is sick, or where Setty wants to transfer to or why. I have never seen a school restrict a kid to some geographical limit like this before. It is nonsensical, and will come back to haunt SIU eventually. AAU and high school coaches don't forget this stuff.

I usually agree with that, but why say I'm transferring because of a sick family member or I want to be closer to home? If that's the real reason then stay close to home, if not you weren't being truthful.

I agree with Da Coach. It should be irrelevant what this kid's excuse is.

He doesn't need an excuse. Just say I'm transferring.

You're both right. He should have just said I'm outta of here but at the same time SIU should step aside and do what's right. The EGO is a tough thing for people to let go!
