Ok I'm ok with rumors being posted on here. When you do just remember most are not true and if they are of a personal nature let's use good judgement. I have had people tell me they have inside info all the time but the rumors were so out there and I cant verify them from anyone one I don't post. On the other had I've heard rumors which make sense to me and I have heard rumblings of the sort. I post those here and, in at least one case, got a call from someone at CU (simply because someone on here violated our 'keep everything of inside info here and don't spread it around") that I was irresponsible in going with the "rumor" Of course a month later it was all true and was glad my sources were correct.
I guess what I'm saying here is sometimes things are true, or part or not at all Keep that in mind as we head into what could be a crazy off season.
So I have waited to post on the post by mdmist because I wanted to check around. In doing so I found out some other things I'd like to share. But again-PLEASE keep this stuff here. If you tell others who aren't on the board you not only hurt us and our enterprise here but hurt the people involved ( especially if only part of it is true) and hurt our sources who then dry up and well, then we really have nothing. So thanks for abiding by this.
As I go thru this I will say multiple sources told me which means I heard the same thing from multiple people. There will be some things I will say one source which means one person told me so I guess we all need to take that with a grain of salt. I spoke to former players, people close to the team, family members, media members and people I trust. So a pretty wide range of people, but not all of these groups spoke on all topics.
The post that mdmist put up concerning the team. At first I really wasn't sure how much of this was true. But after checking multiple sources have told me that this is not far off the base and a lot more fact than fiction. And really when you think about it a lot of that is human nature.
As far as Mo I have always thought he was selfish off the court and although he talked about the team that part of it was for the benefit of Mo. Scouts told him he had to be more of a team player. So once his injury happened that selfishness really kicked in which caused issues.
People have asked me why I think Foster is gone. Multiple sources have speculated the same thing. His answers to my questions had nothing to do with next years team and every thing to do with his future. He needs and wants money and if not NBA Europe a possibility
I always thought JP would stay but not so sure now. As someone said earlier he doesn't like school. maybe we can get into some classes he would like but I think he's gone. I personally think he is pretty immature and could use another year to work on that and his skills.
I thought, besides Khyri and Toby, I didn't feel a lot of angst over losing this game. A couple of media guys who have been in way more locker rooms than me they thought nobody cared. That's concerning. (to be fair the seniors were not in the looker room but in the presser so that could have been part of it)One source, in discussing the mental state of this team said that there is a disconnect between Jack Stark and the coaching staff. Again one person so take that as it is. I also heard there is too much beating them down rather than building them up. Also what I have always speculated on Z's playing time was confirmed by several people so I will leave it at that.
So in summary, there were probably more issues on this team than any of us knew or even thought of. I heard the words, soft and lack of toughness used a lot after the loss. I agree with what I heard earlier. That let it fly was a nice MVC phrase but if we want to be sustainable we need to be tough and recruit to toughness rather than guys that jack up 3s
