: : : could not disagree more. Were the COVID, mono, ankle and "personal" issues CBH's fault?
: : : had Christopher and Bagley been healthy for even "most" of the season, the results would have been different.
: : : the 3 preceding seasons were significantly better than this one - yet you are OK with having him leave?
: : ++++++++++++
: : CBH was dealt a losing hand all season. What stinks is he was planning on a big year this year to help with recruiting for the future and now that looks bleak.
: - - - - - -
: Hurley knew that Christopher and Bagley had planned to be one-and-done. He knew that Martin and Verge were leaving. He knew that he had no depth at center or power forward. And he knew that Cherry had a volatile personality since being benched by his HS coach and later being expelled from HS.
: So an alternate scenario might be that Hurley knew it was time to leave. His assistant coaches knew it was time to leave. It is hard to keep teams from using such negative advertising against Hurley in the recruiting wars. It’s hard to keep players from feeling the vibes. So now players like House also think it is time to leave. My only question - is Ray Anderson sleeping through all of this?
Kind of shocked that House is leaving. I guess he wants a fresh start. He was really pissed in interviews as being known only for his defense. Agree that Hurley was set up to fail once Covid and injuries to the one and done guys hit. Cherry continues to be a time bomb.
