Wonder how he enjoys his 4 minutes per game at Auburn? But I guess he has some money in the bank.
Who?

JP gave us Furman fans a moment that will forever be etched in our memories. I'm thankful for him and his time at Furman. He probably received life changing money and it is difficult to blame him for taking care of his family. Time to move on and cheer for this GREAT team that CBR and staff has built.
I share the sentiment of those above who've moved-on. But I'm sure everybody has a soft-spot for "the shot".
There's a bigger lesson here, not only for the players (be careful with the seduction of NIL $$), but also for the wider community on the lookout for potential high schoolers & transfers. CBR & coaches are taking on a very heavy lift. They're looking not only to identify "diamonds in the rough" overlooked by the P5, but also to only those with an unselfish team-mentality. Otherwise the program is exposed as it was last year - to players who not only failed to gel, but who ultimately transferred out.
My guess is that if given the choice between a proven high-quality individual with heart who's only rated a 3-star and a highly rated sharp-shooting point-guard who craves the limelight, CBR & coaches will take the former every time. The trick is how to filter for only those kinds of players. A heavy lift, indeed.

yep - can't blame him ... probably the right choicePaladinPower wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 11:47 amJP gave us Furman fans a moment that will forever be etched in our memories.

Foster, who got his degree at FU is still starting for Xavier, getting 7ppg
Doesn't look like Williams is playing at all on an 18 man Duquesne roster. Wonder if there will be overseas opportunities for those three or does the college money make that irrelevant ?
