Kolek planning to go pro
No one said you should be impressed with him. Perhaps more sympathetic as you don't know the whole story, what his frustrations may be stemming from, or how unhappy he may have been.
Fighting an addiction and quitting on a group of a guys you've committed to play with and for midseason as a senior are vastly different situations.Again, wish Ed well. Hope he's able to make some money playing a game.
He wasn't happy with his role and he left. It's not much of a secret. If he truly was unhappy, I doubt he will have much regret. He will undoubtedly play somewhere overseas if he wants, and how he ended his career at MU will have no bearing on that.
Wrong.
I thought it was pretty fair. I wished him well. I said I hoped he had stayed.The dude quit on his teammates, which is the real unfortunate bit here. Per the basketball program, he's staying in school, so its not like he's leaving because he has to move to deal with a family matter, or some other terrible circumstance. He quit because he was butthurt about his playing time. I wish Ed well, but you'll never see me be impressed with quitter.
I'm not going to second guess the guy.Good luck Ed.
The sun'll come out to Morrow ...
Morrow was someone you could go to Combat with.
#facepalm
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
FWIW, this is from someone connected to the program ....Ed quit the team knowing full well he was ending his basketball career. Not only at the college level, he is a fifth-year senior and could not transfer, but also any chance to play professionally after MU.He is staying at MU to finish his degree.Ed burned out of the game and lost passion/interest in playing. That was the driver of his decision. This is why he was losing playing time. He was losing his motivation to work hard enough to earn it back.So instead of pouting on the bench, he made a mature decision to move on to the next stage of his life. He felt this spring his time was better spent on academics so he can graduate.I understand this will not sit well here because the answer always has to be it is Wojo's fault, and the answer must be it means the program is a disaster.
If true, I wouldn't be surprised by this. Over the years, many many many cases of athletes burning out, for whatever reason. This narrative makes a lot of sense, too.We lose to Madison without Ed in 2018, and he was an important contributor in many other games. Seemed like a decent guy who also was well-liked by teammates. I wish him well in whatever he chooses to do with his life.We Are Marquette!
Hey look scoop didn't know the full story and went on a rampage of the guy. What a surprise
Yep Like those reporters Racing to the phones in the Black and White movies.
