I'm hearing Nigel will transfer, that the coaching staff has decided he's not major conference quality, and they're going to help him land softly somewhere else. Anyone hearing similar?

He played well at WVU.

I thought so too. Funny thing is, I heard that rumor early in the WVU game. I kinda hope they keep Nigel, but this does make me wonder if he's just not happy with the coaching staff or fitting in with the players...maybe he wants to be closer to home?

I'm kinda

I feel like he has a higher ceiling than Jevon

That would be effing terrible if the coaches let that rumor get out.

Nigel's agent obviously leaked this to strengthen his negotiating position

He doesn't want any part of a marcus free squad under oscar.

I think oscar is quite capable of this kind of leak. He's oscar, after all.

Nigel strikes me as having more talent than he's showing, almost like he's withholding his desire to compete out of resentment or something. Jevon, on the other hand, I feel like is playing right in line with his potential

Wgaf at this point?

sunny_cat · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2015, 11:31:32 PM »

He played very well in Morgantown but he isn't good and I look forward to his scholarship opening up for someone who might not suck

FWIW, I heard this from an EMAW who wouldn't just say this because some hayseed at the bar was spouting off.

If this does materialize, I kinda hope Nigel goes to SIU and learns from the great Anthony Beane, plays oscar in a future NIT battle, and dominates. Then we fire oscar.

steve dave · « **Reply #15 on:** February 13, 2015, 07:36:04 AM »

it wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to stick around imo. very believable thing.

meow meow · « **Reply #16 on:** February 13, 2015, 08:49:24 AM »

what if all of the players go to Currie and threaten to leave after the season if Weber is back?

PIPE · « **Reply #17 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:00:02 AM »

Too bad, I really liked the WV fan screaming NIGEL the entire game.....

Maybe Jevon can hitch a ride in his suitcase when he leaves?

I think so too. He was a volume scorer in high school, whereas Jevon has always been pass-first (and we've seen how well that's turning out). Still not sure either one deserves a roster spot next year, tho.

he's the only player on this piece of crap team that i don't want to be franked

It just doesn't make sense that this staff thinks Nigel isn't major conference material but Jevon is.

Very sad to realize that the coaches have just now determined that one of our best players is not major conference quality.

Well, it kind of does, when you consider that oscar stinks.

Nigel, please don't leave

you are a good basketball player and it will make me sad

Steffy08 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2015, 11:33:05 PM »

Sometimes it comes back to basics, like who is good at throwing ball through the hoop. I think coaches can lose sight of that because they work on individual sets and plays etc during practice. They don't keep score in practice. Jevon has superior ability to Nigel in things that are likely to show up in practice. But Nigel can shoot and score. Teams have to defend us differently when he is in.

I will admit that I have been enamored with Jevon's quickness and defense. But he just can't shoot. And probably never will. I think we go with Nigel. Jevon can be our defense/injury guy when Nigel is cramping or throwing up.
