Cross

Word i'm hearing that Faulkner is seeking info on overseas opportunity's. makes sense for him he has a family now.
I think the next game with who we don't see on the court or a diminished role will give us clues good and bad going forward.
Now would be a good time for Mack to suspend someone if they aren’t onboard with the program. Frankly if Mack did that it would be reassuring that he himself has not checked out.
Chris Mack
Asked today about finding that motivation: “I think I know what it is, but we got to rectify it. And I’m gonna leave it at that.

I’m reading vague tweets about serious internal issues on the basketball team. These issues are apparently being referenced on multiple podcasts. Can anyone kind of inform us and keep us updated as to what is being said. I don’t really listen to podcast. TIA
Too much to write. if alot of it is true.explains this teams play . Mack caught some really bad seeds with this team. These guys don't appear to be those type guys. But i guess you never know people.
Sit back and just wait you be getting alot of news coming . From what little i have gathered.
Given the unprecedented performance and decline over these last several games, it is not surprising that we hear rumors and leaks about player attitudes affecting the team.
For me, I try to avoid attacking the kids until there is evidence to support the individual criticism. Nothing will surprise me at this point, but I do agree with those posters that suggest a “wait and see how this evolves”, as the fans have no influence in what the kids or coaches do.

4 to 6 players might bolt? That would be a disaster for the program. Going by just my opinion and no information here are my possibilities.
I think everyone believes JJ Traynor is probably leaving and surprised it hasn't happened yet. I just don't get why he's not playing. It's like he's a walk on.
Withers needs a new start. Just like pro players who get traded tend to perform better once they're with their new team. I see very little reason why he would stay.
Cross because what I've read here in this thread but I've noticed his attitude on the court lately. He pouts when something goes against him. He doesn't look happy to be here. Now he's a sophomore and has two seasons remaining which means he can still salvage a college career.
Faulkner also from what I read from this thread. Starting a pro career overseas does sound better than the NIT. The other grad transfers West and Locke don't have much of an option and will probably stay on.
Same thing with Malik who's been here seems like 10 years. Many believe Williamson could bolt because he's been such a disappointment but he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would quit like that. But a new environment could help his game as well.
I wouldn't expect Ellis to leave as he appears to be the starter at PG going forward with two more seasons remaining. Dre Davis probably stays because his brother has signed for next season and Curry and Wheeler have time to show what they can do, especially Curry. Gabe will probably move on if these two stay.
My prediction is four players leaving, maybe 5 counting Gabe. Cross, Withers and Faulkner plus two guys who don't play much. Faulkner my stay as his college career has just a little over a month remaining. We might know why Cross left Miami and Withers has nothing really to lose going somewhere else.
I could be totally off on this but this is what many fans think, watching the cluster F@%# of this season.

This roster was duct-taped together. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So far this year it hasn't, but I'm willing to let the season play out because no one is getting fired midseason, so may as well root for them.
Roster management is incredibly difficult in this new world. I think college basketball is in trouble. You can’t live in the portal if you do you better not miss. This team is a good example. He has no leverage over these kids. The power has truly shifted to the players. That is not good when you are dealing with kids.
I felt when this transfer crap was approved it would not be an overall good thing.But this is what we are stuck with now. Just watch how this NIL is going to make things even worse .
Same concern with "the college game" when a HC finds a better opportunity and leaves a program behind?

Just like one of our football players who wanted to transfer out, I think there’s a rule you cannot transfer twice in one academic year. This
literally means Cross would have to quit or wait out the entire season before he could transfer again. Same as other new transfers.
Cross, Withers, Williamson need to toughen up. work on their jump shots.
i've seen the rim block Wither and Williamson dunks.
the rim plays the same defense at every school.
Cross missed multiple wide open three point shots.
going to another school isn't the answer. they have to work harder and smarter.

I wasn't sure about that with all the temporary suspended rules due to covid. I say Withers, Traynor, Gabe and Faulkner if he goes overseas.
But it could be anyone in this messed up season.
