Noah Gurley

[dinhead]

Gurley "lit up" Louisiana Tech for 3 points on 1-7 FG, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in 20 minutes. I'm sure the NBA scouts were blown away by those numbers.

Not sure why you're taking a shot here? Noah was here 4 years and got his degree. Did he leave earlier than we thought? Sure. He also helped make our program relevant. As far as I'm concerned he not only met all expectations, he exceeded them.

Stop being petty and pull for him. I know I'll be turning on some Alabama games this year.

He did start.

[dinhead]

He bailed on his teammates, coaches and university because he though he was an NBA prospect and wanted to play "on a bigger stage" (exact quote). Sorry, but I only root for the guys in purple and white with Furman or Paladins on their chest.

He did start.

And he did play in front of 12,000 people. Of course Timmons Arena has the biggest stage in all of college basketball.
We'll see. He might just have had some opening night jitters.

Graduating is not "bailing" on anyone. It's not as if the Paladins had a legit shot at a Final Four or something. If someone works hard for 4 years on and off the court, and then graduates, automatically asking for more is just greedy and unrealistic.

I am going to lose my religion over your post, one of the most embarrassing and disappointing ever for a person that calls himself a Furman fan. I might be banned from this forum for saying this, but this post makes you sound like a dickhead, not a dinhead. I am not sorry to say that you are absolutely wrong and you owe Mr. Gurley an apology. Noah spent 4 years at Furman, getting his degree. Furman did not offer a graduate degree in the field he needed. He gave to all to our Paladins. We should be proud that he came to Furman, played his heart out, graduated and then was blessed with the opportunity to play on a bigger stage. That is a compliment to the entire coaching staff and the players. Noah is a great young man and deserves every Furman fan to pull hard for him, on and off the court.

Just a petty post. As others have said, Noah graduated and Alabama offered him an opportunity for more exposure and playing in a tougher conference. Everyone should be proud of Gurley’s achievements.

I am proud that Noah played for Furman and proud he is from Fayette County, Georgia, where I grew up.

I hope the kid kills it at Bama.

And also gets a very legitimate graduate degree for which he will and should be proud.

Yes, and including his academic achievements.

You are right.
He has great opportunities and great abilities to take advantage of them.
We ALL should be pulling for him (although it will be tougher to do if and when FU happens to be playing UA in the NCAA Tournament or in the NIT in March 2022).

Pulling for Gurley or 'Bama is optional
