Roster Collapse

[FUBeAR]

Chicken Little was in my backyard today. So what if these kids leave. They have their reasons. I wish them well. Furman ain’t for everybody. I have confidence in CBR to build a team.

I was told at a young age that change is the most consistent thing you will face. It is true.

If FUBeAR wants to support and watch Professional Athletics, FUBeAR will support and watch Professional Athletics.

FUBeAR believes that the NFL, the NBA, MLB, and the NHL can fulfill all of his needs in that realm.*




* FUBeAR rarely supports or watches NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL contests. FUBeAR doesn’t really like Professional Athletics. Never has.

It’s all fixed. Don’t let them tell you it’s not. Well they can tell it’s not but it is. My late good friend who passed away from the cancer always said pro sports were fixed. The longer he’s been gone; the more I think he is correct.

…and so it goes.

There's still high school sports.

Not so fast my friend…

Hopefully but maybe reliable since the poster predicted the mass exodus. Hasn’t hit twitter yet.

still optimistic. 1st just becuase u enter the portal doesnt mean you cant come back. Some reports are saying that these kids are being told they are worth $100k+. Seriously if thats the amt they are transferring for, its a very short term gain. Foster is a different story. He graduated and gave all his best year. SD is good with Foster

2nd... the two redshirt frosh who are supposed to be pretty good are now definetly going to play. And thats very motivating for them as well as the returnees

3rd... CBR has shown that he can find very good talent in DII ranks. Smith and Connely were very good players

4th.. this means that the talent level being recruited for Dins is very good. Hunter, Mounce, Connely, Bothwell all playing in EU. Slaw is in NBA. Gurley, Pegues, Foster. Whitt and Williams being scouted by High D1s.

5th.. Timmons renovation starts in 2 weeks!

all good

Hope you are right but we have now lost our 3 best players and 3 top scorers and top 3 three point shooters and 55 points a game total. Curently have one reliable 3 point shooter on the team that we know of(Pjay). Down to 8 scholarship players with 2 of those never played. So 6 players with any playing experience. Looks bleak but things can change quickly. Could be more entering, portal still open for 30+ more days. So much for everyone coming back.

Everytime I have posted in this thread you have accused me of trolling. Why would I troll about this? I’m a Furman alum and hoops fan, this news sucks to me.

With 4 of our top 6 players now gone, things do look bleak but these days you can get a whole new team in a few weeks through the portal. Just gotta wait and see what Bob can do. I hope not having a home arena this year doesn’t deter some 1 year grad transfers.

[Dins&Heels]

Frustrating landscape for any mid-major like FU who has been finding players like JP, AW and MF and helping develop them into guys who can play for any Power 5 program.

Alley Gym clearly knows what he/she is talking about. Hoping PJ doesn't follow the others.

That’s what I’ve been saying…would be a pretty big (negative) factor for me but CBR will figure this out, adapt, and put together a decent team.

At this point, there’s no doubt we are in dumpster fire territory. Incredible how our team chemistry went from great to crap in one year.

Yeah, puzzling. Definitely some clashing personalities/attitude problems. I think PJay, Vanderwal, and Hien are great kids and have the potential to be team leaders heading into next year.
