Whitt commits to Belmont, the same school that we have smoked the past 2 seasons

Carter is a hard worker and good team player. I hope he has a breakout year. Belmont is a great fit for his style of play.

This is a fan forum. Are posts mildly critical of our team’s players not allowed without being deleted? Guess this is more of a forum for never ending “back in my day” ramblings referring to themselves in the 3rd person…typically condescending toward other posters.

most of the mid-major offers go to DII players

How the Dins got a 4* from Wake Forest a few years ago is a minor sports miracle

Posts which specifically express derogative comments about individuals are unacceptable. I don't know what you have against Whitt, but he contributed much to Furman's success while he was here.

Belmont also has four players in the portal, including their top three scorers - same as the Paladins.I think they are losing more cumulative points and rebounds than we are. One of them is also their star point guard - Jacobi Gillespie, who just committed to Maryland. Belmont does return a couple of experienced guards, including one - Keishawn Davidson - who averaged more points and assists than Whitt did for us and is also a better three point shooter. Whitt isn't moving into a surefire starting role.

I don't understand why Whitt would transfer knowing with the departure Pegues that he would probably be the starting point guard. I can understand why he might leave for more PT with Pegues still at FU.

Did he have a falling out with Coach R?

Don’t believe this is true. You may be confusing FU with the rest of the mid majors. For example Citadel has 3 transfers from PC, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame.

He was always going to be bench here, we would find someone better to start over him...

He was upset this year about playing time...

Davidson is gone, played 5 full years of college hoops

Makes Whitt's decision more understandable. The current returning roster for Belmont averaged less than 2.5 assists per game this year. The whole team averaged over 15. They only return a couple of guys at guard .

Samford had 7'0" Zach Loveday on the team this year. He was a 4 or 5 star recruit who transferred from Baylor. He was on their 2021 National Championship team and had about a dozen big time offers in HS. He averaged about 3 points per game for Samford this season and was beat out of the rotation by a freshman. He was 13th on the Samford squad in PT. Wesley Cardet, Jr, was a highly recruited guy who played for Samford two seasons ago and started many games but transferred out. He was okay for them but not a star.
Robby Carmody was a highly recruited guard who transferred from Notre Dame to Mercer this year. He played some for the Bears but is leaving again on the transfer portal.
