Swopshire and Zecevic transfering

I know neither were gamebreakers but I wanted them both back. Thought they had both shown potential. Also I think it sends a bad message to potential recruits when underclass men transfer out every stinking year. I wish them well.

Hopefully someday soon we will have a group of student-athletes to root for from start of their career to finish. A group to grow with through their successes and failures. Hopefully more successes ;-)
 
Losing 1 or 2 guys is pretty much the norm anymore. The NCAA has made it even easier to transfer with it's odd rulings. I would be disappointed by Swopshire not so much the other.
 
Good luck to Stefan and Jordan wherever they land. I feel bad for them that they couldn't have contributed more or stayed and developed into better players.
I am hearing that the purge may not be over yet.
So much for Dave Reynolds' "Stellar recruiting class" that he compared favorably with some of the very best recruiting classes of the last few decades!

I have heard that he wanted to stay and was expecting to be told he would stay. So this has to be a real letdown for Swop. I think he will have success somewhere.
 
I don't know if it's applicable in Swophire's situation but I've had employees who wanted to stay but didn't want to do what I needed or asked. So it was time to part ways
 
Swopshire & Zecevic Transferring

Swopshire & Zecevic Transferring

NOTHING IS FOREVER ! This is the new face of college basketball.....My primary concern now is that the coaches had better be 100% correct in their evaluations of talent when recruiting.....No "In betweeners", No projects, and no more J.C. guys who average 12 pts./game. COACHES CAN ALSO BE "JANKED".

or at least be cautious with DI transfers who average 2-3 ppg or juco players who average single digits, or well-travelled, multi-transfer kids who didn't even play last year, or kids who didn't even start for their own high school team....
 
I could be wrong but I don't think the JS situation is the same as the SZ situation. I think SZ read the writing on the wall and something happened very different with JS. Just my opinion.

Coaches can be "JANKED" but it costs the college or university to buy their contract. This is no small amount of money and if there are attorneys involved, their meter runs for their time. At least the coach has his contract (and attorney) to protect his interests. The student athlete is the pawn in this game.
 
Good luck to both kids on their playing future .....kind of sad though....thought JS showed some signs and should be able to produce as he matures! ;)
 
not as much of a pawn as some would have you believe

he has all the same right and ability to stay at Bradley as I did or my kids do, apply for and receive financial aid and scholarships that he might deserve and stay 'til he graduates...
the only thing being taken from him is his FREE athletic scholarship that was awarded based on the coach's perception of his ability to help the team.
Nothing about the offer, the scholarship, or the roster position was ever guaranteed beyond this spring -
 
I'm really disappointed by this. Especially with JS. I thought he could mold into a really solid contributer next year. :badgrin:
