About the kind of schools I expected would be after Elijah. All good landing spots.

 Why not just finish up at stony brook. it's not like he will ever make it in the NBA. Something smells rotten to me.

Average home attendance for the 2019 season ...

B1G: 12,691
SEC: 11,527
ACC: 10,912
Big East: 9,999




Bundesliga: 4,189

NBA G League: 2,465

AE: 1,693

Might be his only remaining shot at playing big-time basketball. Why not go for it?

Elijah will be a bench players at any of the power schools. He has zero chance of going to the NBA. This cant be about saying you played for Kentucky for 1 season and kept the bench warm. Why not just finish up at SB and get a really good Diploma.

This is about something else. What doesnt come out in the wash will come out in the rinse.

Completely disagree. We can talk about loyalty, seeing things through, degrees, etc., all we want, but if I'm a 21-year-old kid and I can go get 20-25 minutes at a big-time school, practice and play against superior talent, learn from superior coaches AND in some cases you don't have to wait, sorry, the draw is too strong. A year's a long time to wait, but I get it. Who can blame Sessoms for leaving Binghamton to go to Penn State? Or grad transfers like Yeboah, Calixte, Cremo, etc. Cremo's in the G League BTW, and I think Elijah's BETTER than him. Does he get there without moving to Nova?

Elijah will end up with a quality program and get plenty of burn.

This is gonna be painful.

They clearly planned this schedule out months in advance, to take on the toughest opponents and put forth a strong non con SOS before running the gamut in conference. Like 2016. They knew this was everyone’s final shot and they were gonna make the most of it.

And then all the players left. Just cruel.

the only way we keep KU within 30 is if the NCAA decides Jameel Warney, Lucas Woodhouse, and Akwasi Yeboah get a one-time waiver to use a fifth year of eligibility, and they all decide to suit up for the game. 

That article does reassure me a little bit. None of them took a shot at Ford and it seems like it was a domino effect after Garcia transferred.

Even the others said if Garcia didn't leave there is a chance they would have stayed. One thing these guys need to be cautious about is that they will likely ride the bench at the bigger programs. I do not see any of these transfers being as good as Akwasi for example.

I think college hoops has changed in the last 10 years. Hope for three good years out of your players and then cross your fingers they want to return for their senior season. As I said earlier, the NCAA needs mid-major basketball to keep NCAA basketball relevant.

I am reading between the lines, they all said they want to better themselves. Other then Olaniyi and MAYBE Garcia they will all be making lateral moves. If they believed in the coach they would have stayed. All you need is 8 good players to have a chance. SB doesn't fire coaches so we will be screwed unless the new president cares and makes some changes

I agree with you. Garcia and Olaniyi will be forgotten if they wind up on a Power 5 team. This has more to do with SB then anything else, and no. SB wont fire Ford for his poor performance and his unacceptable performance on the court and with his players.

According to Student Athlete Network (@StuAthNetwork) | Twitter and his own Twitter feed JUCO SF Leighton Elliott-Sewell, originally out of the UK has committed to Stony Brook.  Looks like a pretty aggressive wing not afraid to absorb contact on the drive.  Could be a nice piece of the puzzle going forward.
