Title: Will Russell transfer?
Post by: Belvis Noland on March 23, 2010, 09:33:31 AM
Does anybody else get the impression that this kid isn't happy?

would be nice if he did, imo.

What gave you that impression other than his lack of playing time?

Seems to me like he will get his share of minutes next year on a very good team so unless it's something else I don't know why he'd transfer.

Hope not, but wouldn't shock me. Don't think they will chase him off, we're thin with ball handlers as is.  If he can't get into the rotation next season, he'll most likely leave after that.

You never know, but I don't see why he would unless he's unhappy or wants to be closer to home.  I don't think we're running him off at this point.

The only thing I've heard rumor-wise that might lead to this is in one of the recruitment threads talking about Russell not being "the type of guard we expected" or something like that.

if he transfers do you guys think he will transfer to another blue blood or do you think he's destined for some second tier program?

Post by: OK_Cat on March 23, 2010, 10:13:23 AM
every season there is a thread about some scrub and wondering if he's happy and if he'll transfer.   Just change the names, wash, rinse, repeat.

second tier. playing time is the thing w/ this cat. look for him to go to a georgia tech/vanderbilt type of school.

Heck, UCLA may take him at this point...they are in rough shape.

Post by: pissclams on March 23, 2010, 10:18:44 AM
i can see G Tech/Vandy and also i can see UCLA.  not sure which of the three he'll end up at but there's no disputing that it will be either G Tech, Vandy, or UCLA.  wonder if he will make immediate JYC type inpact in practice since coming from elite school conference?

Post by: michigancat on March 23, 2010, 10:22:59 AM
Did anyone see the way Nick Russell and Johnny Jones embraced at the end of the UNT game?  I wonder if Jones is tampering.  We probably won't give him his release and make him go Juco if he leaves, because we know how Jones and Frank feel about each other.

Supposedly UCLA offered him when we recruited him.

hey, it takes two to tamper, so if jones was tampering, i'm all for refusing the release.  make him open it back up like mitchell.

Post by: pissclams on March 23, 2010, 10:56:53 AM
there's no doubt that Johnny Jones was getting his tamper on, question becomes this - does Johnny Jones really want to tamper when really little need to tamper on a tamperproof? 
Title: Re: Will Russell transfer?
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on March 23, 2010, 10:59:10 AM
how much tampering would a johnny jones tamper if a johnny jones could tamper with tampering?  :dunno:
Title: Re: Will Russell transfer?
Post by: pissclams on March 23, 2010, 11:00:25 AM
i'm going to say what I think needs to be said here:   Johnny Jones is a tampering bad person.

I hope he stays next year.  We're thin in the back and angel rodriguez (AR-11) isn't in this class.

I get this impression. But as a competitive individual I wouldn't be satisfied either. Doesn't mean he's stupid enough to transfer from a top ten team after his freshman year because of playing time.

No way he'll leave unless he's asked to leave.

Not going anywhere.  But also not the PG we though we recruited.  Why do you think Frank has offered 3 different PG's for 2011?

I wish that there was one in the fold for 2010....unless that's suppose to be Will, which I doubt.

Just curious, what exactly is meant by "not the PG we thought we recruired"?  And what is the plan for him then, play more off the ball and handle when necessary, kind of like Pullen this year?

this is pretty much what Cassidy said verbatim.  He also said Curtis Malone is frustrated that Quinn Cook won't cut his school list.  FWIW.

A happy 17th birthday to Quinn Cook, who, as of today, hasn't cut down his list of possible schools, leaving his AAU coach quite frustrated.

What it means to me is that in '10-'11 Russell/McGruder/Sprads takes the Pullen role, Pullen takes the Clemente role, and Irving keeps the Irving role.
