Has this really been a surprise to anyone?

 

[TheLivingLegend]

probably a solid move.

will say he was a better option then Dave at times least season.

Not a surprise but nice to finally see something one way or the other. I think we all felt Kelvin was the one to go but until the move is made, you never know.

Will Morman qualify is the next question. Just because he is on campus doesn't mean he has been cleared. Word from the NCAA clearinghouse will come towards the end of the summer......

“Kelvin’s a very bright student and is graduating,” said Morgan, who has not spoken directly to Gaines recently. “A lot of the kids he is playing with are pros. He’s looking for more playing time.”

not only has morgan not spoke to gains, he clearly knows nothing about uc. a lot of pros?

Prolly meant the BE in general, but he was vague with that comment.

Yeah, this, plus pro doesn't necessarily mean NBA.

Good for Kelvin go get some minutes and prove what u can do

UC's loss is North Texas's gaines.

This is interesting. Why give up on a kid with two years of eligibility left that's a physical freak?

Right(to the second sentence).......this is why I don't understand....

lots of physical freaks can't play basketball at BE level.fact is he is not now or every will be a player at this level.

I don't understand that sentence.

I don't understand that sentence.

he can't play in the big east. He is not going to develope in another 2 years. Gaines was a swing and miss by Mick.

Player A: .5 ppg, 1.5 reb, 15 blocks
Player B: 2.6 ppg, 2.5 reb, 29 blocks

Which would u rather have? Consider this-player A has had 3 years to improve, played basketball all his life, and only scored 10 ppg in HS. Player B only had this year, didn't even pick up a basketball until a few years ago, and has shown some raw ability, just needs to bulk up a little.

Player A: Gaines
Player B: Nyarsuk

Here is why it was Gaines. He would take up a scholarship for two more years. If it was reversed and Dave had two more years and Gaines one, Dave would be going.

Gaines was in over his head here. Yes, he is a physical monster, but he looked like a lost boy out there on the floor. I appreciate his effort but glad to see him move on to a school where he will fit in better.

You are 100% correct my friend it's all about opening up a scholarship next year for a better recruit.
