Jeff, this kid was going to explode, this is a really bad loss. Jimmie by all accounts good student / model citizen. This is just bizarre because he was so happy to be here, I just don’t understand

You guys need to do a “Behind the Lines” as to what’s going on with our program. This wish him well press release they put out isn’t enough this time. Too many issues with personnel over the years.

Best wishes to this young man. He gave a good effort when he got some playing time. It does raise some concern about the program. But Cooley is working hard to teach them about basketball and life.

This is a big blow in my opinion. He goes into this season being the Friars go to guy in the paint. Friars are out of the picture in the Big East, if you ask me.
