WSR Full Court Report

its not good to lose players with experience and replace them with players with no experience. I really hope Jordin Mayes and Josiah Turner return for next season. Kyryl is the least likely to contribute next season so I don't think the team will suffer if he decides to go to europe and play some pro ball a season early. I have a hard time imagining him having enough value to get a pro contract, but apparently they love him over there. He did well for the Ukrane national team a few seasons ago... just can't get it going for the Cats. Maybe its best he decides to peace out while he is still considered to have a lot of potential.

got this from a transfer FAQ...

Q: If my coach leaves, can I transfer and immediately be eligible?
No. Contrary to popular belief, the departure of a coaching staff member does not grant a
student-athlete relief from the residence requirement on transferring.

CY,

I think you could be thinking about if a coach gets fired and I think the recruits can leave. ie, DWill, Momo, and Solo. My guess is that if they have signed but not enrolled they can leave if the coach is gone. But once they are enrolled they have to sit out a year. That is just my guess. But then i could be wrong.

You're right. For now, there's nothing substantial pointing to any current roster player leaving. Everything is speculation.

I'll admit, talking to sources regarding Turner during the Pac-12 Tournament, I didn't come across a single source, former Wildcat player, whatever, who though Turner would be on the team this upcoming season. Still, there's nothing concrete that points to his departure although many (at least in the back of their mind) think Turner has an uphill battle.

Everyone thinks K-Nat is going to Europe. However, they forget how much K-Nat loves college. Personally, I can't see him leaving until he has his degree. That said, I've heard that K-Nat is pulling a Josh Pastner and is close to earning his degree if he hasn't already (May or this summer).

Jordin Mayes is very plausible, only because he's a good kid with game and could easily transfer to another school and actually play and contribute and possibly carve out a professional career. That said, if Turner leaves and Mayes stays he's our starting point guard next season.

I can't imagine we'd lose both Josiah Turner and Jordin Mayes. I could see one leaving... Jordin for a chance to start somewhere else, and JT2 because he's worn out his welcome. But there doesn't seem to be any reason for both to leave the program. If JT2 bolts, then Jordin is the starter. If Jordin takes off, then the staff will focus on Turner and follow that up with McConnell during the 2013-14 season.

Liver, you could be right but a kid with his head on right and confidence in his skills should compete, sports is about competing. You can see a lot about a person when you play sports with them. The inside person comes out pretty quickly and i want someone who is willing to compete and has confidence in their own ability and a realistic assessment of it. AZ is D1 at the highest level and to go somewhere else for that reason says they cannot make it here.

My thoughts!
