For the sake of discussion and not a retread AG bashing thread...many of these you have stated this entire season.

Svoboda...non-factor pretty much the entire season. Didn't give much to forecast future upside other than a warm body. His departure is a wash as a freshman next year can come in and do the same freshman stuff he did this year. Best of luck to him and his family.

XW....non-factor the entire season. His family wanted him to depart prior to Christmas. He wanted to stay. He didn't jive with the new way of doing things the AG way, which has to do with accountability. He gave up on the team mid way through the season and failed to even travel or show up for the end of the season. His departure is a positive as he didn't even provide anything positive off the court. MS at least was a hard worker and not a distraction to the team.

Pierce. Dueces. Panic move by Archie. Did nothing and was rewarded with nothing.

Crosby...non-factor. Was back here because he felt it was a better option than transferring. While he didn't do anything detrimental to the team, he was a bit in over his head in terms of who he was going up against and his situation with PT. His departure is a wash as proven with Crutcher as an incoming freshman. Best of luck to JC.

Kostas...bummer as he has a promising future. Who cares if he was the "recruit of all recruits" and the "one" as a handful of people assume. He didn't play for a reason. He didn't like school, doesn't need school, and has one goal...become pro. He does't need UD to get to that level as he has a slush fund to get the best training and the best resources. He can spend 40 hours a week on hoops versus 20 hours a week in classes. I liked his promise. Yes...he is a loss but replaceable.

In all of this, guys have left that you, and many others, have stated time and time again are not "positives" on the roster. So...you got your way in terms of personnel. Correct?

Do you have any knowledge of the incoming freshman or possible transfers? Are they better or worst than the 4 washes that are out the door? Do you keep the guys that aren't contributing to squeeze blood out of a turnip or simply have a fire sale and get guys that buy in and have time to develop?

The good thing is that there are many people who know much more about the situation that you. Many insiders have valuable information if you would pay attention. You are blinded by your own voice that you refuse to see the big picture. Couple guys don't like the new coach and a message board warrior knows more about the game of basketball than a veteran DI coach. Sure, makes perfect sense.

Your presence as a UD basketball fan would be best served by either giving it up, or simply letting some of this take course. You can pull up this thread when you get to eat crow in the future. Most of us can at least sit back and say we afforded AG, his staff, his players, and the UD administration a fair shot to do their thing prior to calling for a fire sale.
we can agree, we lost 4 meatballs and 1 probably decent player, but 5 players have quit on the coach, that means something, can we agree on that ?
