Someone should refer Orris and Diaz to this thread.  I'm sure they'd like to read all the nice things being said about them.

did you see Orris' "LOL" tweet yesterday when the Angel meltdown hit twitter?  :D
No I didn't. I also did not see it in the Twitter thread.  :confused:

One year ago we were beaten over the head with Frank had to go or else we wouldn't have a team. The posters who were aggressively pushing Shannon Spradling's agenda as a talking point have been unsurprisingly quiet tonight. Spin it CC, Dax, or GOSP. Jump back on those high horses and talk down to us about how this is actually good for us.

WTF are you talking about perpetually pissed off MIR??

You really can't tell what he is talking about?  I can and I am paying like 90% attention to work right now.

I love when people allude to key players being part of the "planned revolt of 2012." McGruder wasn't leaving. Angel wasn't leaving. Gipson wasn't leaving. JO wasn't leaving.

Will can still GTFO, as can Nino and emape. Oh darn. What a devastating revolt that would have been. :rolleyes:

also, cap, you are the closest thing to a phone to the AD this site has. some of the posters will choose to lash out at your for it. I appreciate your input very much.

Yes, I agree. Same thing happens any time something bad happens. I get it, people are upset. I will try to give info when I can.

How is this player revolt different than the threatened (not confirmed) defections Frank faced at the end of last season? 

because, there is/was no player revolt.

Now or at the end of last season?

As far as we know, Angel/Diaz/Orris or their parents weren't whining to the AD. Or they weren't likely whining as loudly.

Who are your sources?
Pretty sure JO was thinking of going after his SO yr...stuck around, then was part of the group for last year...
I've got pretty good sources saying 7 were going, I have a feeling Rod maybe have been part of that group too.
CC has repeatedly said many were out the door, my guess is he knows more than you Koug.

So if you want to throw Will, Nino and emape...who are the other four, they can't all be bench warmers?

Between cap'n and myself, only one of us knew Angel was leaving.

The "7" number was a manufactured myth from the start.

Consider who your sources are.  I have sources that say Will and scrubs were going, granted, mine might be bias the other way.

JO talked about going pro after his JR year and was mushed by NBA people he talked to.  If he was going, it wasn't to the draft.  If he thought he had as much NBA potential as he apparently did, he was not going to transfer and sit out a year either.

I've also heard both ways for Rod depending on the group I heard it from.  The people speaking of this "group of 7" was trying to inflate that number and who was in it as much as possible.  Common sense says Rod would be very unlikely to transfer his senior year.  I don't think Rod was going anywhere.

Regardless, congrats on oscar keeping the group together.  In 3 years with oscar, we will end up 0-1 in the NCAAs.  Thank god Frank wasn't allowed to tank the program.  Currie can get his own guy for that.

Both of your statements are factually incorrect.

nothing.

any truth to the fact that staff/ad/angel all knew a few weeks ago and were trying to keep it under wraps for angel to finish out the semester and get out of town unnoticed as well as for the ad to make another push for season bball tickets?

No effort to "keep it under wraps", not sure what the point would be of doing that. If that was the intent then not sure why the school sent out a press release yesterday before the semester ended and before any leaks had hit the media. If that's your conspiracy theory, I am curious to hear the support for it.

Pro-tip: If you not don't want to renew because Angel is leaving but you got tricked into renewing before he announced, just demand your money back.  they will give it to you.
