Sandy Gone

[GoldenDieners32]

He promptly tweeted that he had been released from his NLI and that his recruitment was 'wide open' when Buzz left.

juan is a starter on Mexico national team now

[keefe]

He would fit in well up there.

Does he sh1t himself in practice??

[Lighthouse 84]

Best of luck Chief.  Hopefully, it works out for everybody.

Never warmed to the kid. Hate it when a signing turns out badly but he really never demonstrated (other than a momentary flash or two) that he would be a significant contributor here. Too bad.
Good luck wherever.

i really hope he can succeed somewhere. Really liked the kid

If he can develop well i can see him becoming a decent player

Well, he'll have a semester to show if that has become the case.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Well done.

New thread for Yankee on how wonderful Chief is doin', hey?

[chapman]

He could also redshirt all next year to play a full 2018-19 season.  Seems like that would be the best decision if he's staying at the D1 level.  Too bad things didn't work out.

I think that scenario would be a very good thing for him. He could get his degree for sure and probably get started on a graduate degree.

Good Matty V article on Sandy

Not sure what Sandy's long term plans are but from a basketball perspective he would be wise to sit out until '18-'19.  Again, not sure why he wouldn't have played out the year at MU.

[WarriorFan]

Good luck to Sandy.  My suggestion if you really love hoops and want to play:  forget about D1.  Go to a top NAIA or D3 school, play immediately, rack up 1.5 good seasons with good scoring, rebounding and steals stats, and get a job playing overseas for a couple years before you have to enter the real world.  If you stay D1, you'll have to wait too long and then maybe ride pine again, and all chances of a couple good pro years are gone.

Hopefully, his next school won't expect him to play PF.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Pretty much anywhere outside of high majors 6"6 and athletic = PF

[Babybluejeans]

This seems like a transfer that makes sense for all parties, though unfortunate for Sandy that it wasn't better timed. Hope he finds a good place to land and flourishes.

[Tugg Speedman]

Does anyone seeing this happen to Duane Wilson?? His minutes are getting pushed back too

He's a redshirt junior.  That means he's in his fourth year at MU.  If he has been going to class, he could stay this season and grad transfer to play somewhere else next year.

[tompopsicle]

Sandy was out with Rowsey and Reinhardt last night at Screaming Tuna. Not wearing a boot though

[PBRme]

Any midyear transfers ala Big Fish that could be in the works?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Austin Nichols became available again.

[wadesworld]

I have a feeling Marquette under Wojo will not be taking many kids who were kicked off of their previous team...

[MU82]

Although timing was strange, this divorce makes a lot of sense for everybody.

I wish him good fortune.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Any midyear transfers ala Big Fish that could be in the works?

Could be. No one worth mentioning yet that I'm aware of. And like wades said, players who got booted from their last team are not coming here, so they aren't worth mentioning

[Lennys Tap]

I have a feeling Marquette under Wojo will not be taking many kids who were kicked off of their previous team...

Yeah, Marquette won't take guys who were kicked off their previous team "under Wojo". Course they didn't do it under Buzz, Crean, Deane, KO, Dukiet, Rick, Hank or Al either.

So why are we discussing Austin Nichols?

Also, you sure Toddler wasn't kicked off of one (or more) of the 4 high schools he attended?...
