More players leaving?

David Jablonski
‏Verified account @DavidPJablonski

Story coming shortly from Tom Archdeacon, who talked to Anthony Grant today, on three more players leaving Dayton basketball.

Time for the guessing game lol... I bet John and Pierce are two

Crosby, Pierce, and ???????

My guess is Kostas but I hope I'm wrong.

Wow. Please please please please not Cunningham. I'd have to guess it is Kostas. No one else makes sense. Maybe a walk-on?

Cunningham really can't unless he has found a way to graduate. Only other option would be to turn pro or transfer down to D2.

Not sure how this is AG's fault. Kostas didn't like school, Crosby almost left last year, and Pierce walked out of practice with a bad attitude.

I dont' give two hoots about Crosby or Pierce. But here our biggest signing in how long gives AG a chance and AG with his desire to drive home points rather than win runs him off. I knew that 2nd VCU game when he wasn't used to defend against Justin Tillman there was problems. And then he shows what he could do against Tillman in the tournament. And again, here comes the real rebuild, it wasn't necessary but AG made it so.

Yes, I agree. Why should the head coach build for the future? He ought to do whatever the redshirt freshman wants. Especially if that redshirt freshman. Is last on the team in +/- for the season.

Not sure how AG ran Kostas off. It was stated on this board a couple weeks ago from a good source that Kostas simply didn't like school. He may end up in Europe.

To be fair, how many of these player were Grant's, but more important, who would have helped take us to the NCAA? Maybe one.

Yep, one, the shotblocking athletic big man who has the most NBA potential. This is getting ridiculous. Any one with eyes saw that if we were going to get back to the dance anytime soon, it was going to take Kostas to continue to reach his potential. This team is a mess.

You are either being sarcastic or have no clue. Kostas was a below average A-10 player who frankly didn’t understand positioning on the court and is extremely weak. He couldn’t shoot outside of 4’ from the basket. Yes, he had some upside if he gained 30-40 pounds and improved his shooting, but as it stands this is no great loss. We will be improved next year.

One big man 6'9 or taller to take the pressure off Cunningham down low

It may look that way to you, but I think it actually puts him head having scholarships to deal. When Steve Fisher took over at San Diego State, he cleaned house. And then begin to build up the right way. SDSU has been a good program ever since. This Mass Exodus puts him ahead of the game in my view.

Figures you would blame AG.

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. 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 worse 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.

Agree with most others in that I could care less about X, Pierce, and Crosby. Crosby is probably the worst loss of those three because we only have one other PG.

Kostas and Svo hurt a little because I believe they have bright futures. But Kostas is a liability on the court with his incessant trash-talking and fight starting and it is quite possible that Svo would never turn the corner. Oh well.

SL next year:

Crutcher
Davis
Landers
Mikesell
Cunningham

Matos, Cohill, and Topping all getting good minutes. That forms a pretty solid core. Anyone AG adds from here on out will be a project or icing on the cake. BOY could we use a true PG (or two)!

4/5 starters returning with a year of experience under their belt. Dayton will be much improved over the terrible 14-17 season this year. Add 1-2 more jucos and 1-2 more recruits and all is well.

I have to think that at least 2-3 player with immediate eligibility sign on in the next month or two. At least one will be a quality point guard. Any player on the outside with options to play next year has to look at this as a golden opportunity. Not going to re-hash the opinions of all that left but I'd have to think that a few of the chronic complainers would be ecstatic with the departure of at least a few that have left.

And yet, we hear that the world is crashing, what a terrible coach, yada yada...Isn't this what you wanted? New player to rebuild quickly? This is exactly what should happen. I'd be really disappointed if NOBODY is signed leaving 5 gaping scholarship holes...I just don't see that happening. Do I see a sweet 16 next year? Probably not but I am going to allow it all to play out....seeing that I'm a little girl with a broken heart....(according to one of you)

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 ?

I'm not going to make the argument but one could say this a continuation of issues AG had at Alabama

This is where you are mistaken.

XW had reported conflict with AG along with Pierce.

From all inside accounts this is more with XW and Pierce than AG...Trey's interview proves what the insiders reported. Pierce walked out of practices. That tells me all I need to know.

Crosby came back to UD with AG's work. Crosby simply isn't a good enough basketball player and has played behind better players his whole career. He's behind Crutcher next year already.

Grant quoted in the paper that players that he didn't bring here simply aren't cut out for what he expects. Look at Trey...he embraced it...and it paid dividends. Why did it work for him...because his character allowed him to thrive. The others, they either didn't have it...or didn't want to ride the pine.

This isn't a coach thing. This is a player thing. Get with the program or get the F out. It is that simple. At this rate, AG did what he needed to do with good reason and just sped up the future potential of this program by one year. Dead weight is gone.

I fail to see how anyone that left gives you anything more next season than what a good freshman or transfer can give you. I would rather have a bench player with a good attitude, than a guy like Kostas regardless of potential. I wish it worked out with him as he showed flashes of brilliance...but attitude trumps performance if you are trying to run a team, a business, or anything successful that involves groups of people. AG knows that and it isn't a loss in the long run.

No. Do you find it at all odd that this is all happening at once, so quickly after end of season?

Have no inside info, but suspect most if not all of these players were told they might be better off moving on to a program where they will get to play. It wasn’t going to be at UD.

Best of luck to all of them.

It’s a good day to be a Flyer.

Different choice of words, but I contend that we lost 3 guys who hadn't showed much if anything at this level (JC, MS, JP) and 2 who had displayed some potential (XW, KA). And I agree that we had 5 players who quit the program, and that it means something. But I believe we differ on what it means.

Your previous posts indicate a belief somewhere along the lines of "Grant is an incompetent nincompoop, and should never have been hired." My previous posts indicate a belief somewhere along the lines of "Grant is a decent coach who needs to be given time to put players of his choosing into his system before we pass final judgment on his success or failure as UD's head coach."

Today's announcements simply accelerate the timeline for him to be able to put players of his choosing into his system, and thus for us to be able to pass final judgment on his success or failure as the head coach of my alma mater.

To the players who are leaving: I hope that you are able to have productive lives from this point forward, but if you didn't want to go to school at my alma mater, and/or play college basketball for my alma mater, then it's best that you're leaving now, so you can start the next phase of your life all the sooner.

Kostas already withdrew from school! WOW

Which to me means he has no plans to transfer anywhere. Most likely headed to the G-league or back to Greece for some pro team.

Exactly. He would have lost a year of eligibility anyway. He’ll end up on some obscure Euro team because of his name.

I could see him going to some place like the IMG Academy. His brother would pay the way or twist somebody's arm to take him.

My guess is that he ends up on the Bucks G-league team.

I don't see it. He doesn't have the talent to play at that level now and I don't see him making the sacrifices and putting in the work needed to get to that level.

All 3 of them - pretty much as expected. No real surprises.

Not really a shocker all the way around. As long as that's it, let's move on.

Have to hope Grant can pull a Rick Stansbury.

Western Kentucky only had one player return from last years team.
They beat Purdue early in the season, are rated 42 in Kenpom, and are 31st in RPI. They lost in their conference title game by one point and are currently headed to the NIT semis after beating BC, USC, and Ok St to get there.

Grant is going to need to find some Grad Transfers and Juco guys so he isn't stuck with the leftovers of the kids who are currently seniors in HS and haven't signed yet.

Kostas shocks me. I wonder if Grant told Kostas he’s not going into the NBA, and at that point he just decided to go back to Europe. Or if he was told he couldn’t train overseas again because of what happened last year?

Or he and AG didn't get along
Or he didn't think UD was developing him into an NBA player
Or he's just going to live off the family fortune . . .

What's done is done. Good luck to everyone. Now we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work, it's only 233 days until next season.

No surprises on any of these, or Matej or X. The only one that hurts some is Kostas, because in two years he could be pretty good, but that is the risk when you take a poor unmotivated student.

All of it is somewhat bad news, because it reminds us of how much this last season sucked, but from now on it will be optimism for the new guys.

Propsed NCAA rule

I believe a HS player should be held to his commitment to a school when there is a coaching change. The commitment should be viewed as being made to the school...not the coach who recruited him.

It could work like this. If there is a coaching change a kid is required to play for one year under the new coach. After one year the player can transfer to another school without penalty, i.e., does not have to sit for year before playing. In my opinion, kids would give the new coach a chance and many would choose not to transfer. Such an approach would be far less disruptive than the present system whereby an entire incoming class may be lost.

Just opinion.

Everyone who predicted back in 2016 that Kostas would be a 1-and-done was right.

On balance I like it. X, John and Pierce are addition by subtraction. Kostas while big on "Potential" was short on performance. Would have preferred him to stay but his leaving is not a major blow.

We still have Crutcher, Davis and Cohill at guard. Landers, Mikesell, Matos at the wing/small forward, and Cunningham and Toppin down low. If a couple of those new players are as good as advertised that's a pretty good 8-man nucleus. Let's hope they can get a couple more. I hate to see Kostas leave, but it was said a couple of weeks ago that he didn't like school.

It was obvious as I stated way back with all the promos that the family had other plans than Dayton. He'll try G first then euro. Tea leaves and promos don't lie.

Now we have 4 ships to fill and deadwood trimmed from the roster. Deadwood in that they didn't fit in as a flyer or committed to the program.

Best luck to all of them going forward.

From the DDN article:

“I tell guys this all the time when we are recruiting, ‘What we do is not for everybody,’” said Grant who took over the job vacated by Archie Miller last spring. “I tell them, ‘Here’s what we’re going to be about and here’s the way we’re going to do it.’ It doesn’t make you a bad person (to disagree.) It’s just we have to understand the commitment it takes, the sacrifice it takes to be able to accomplish the things we’re trying to accomplish ... without any guarantees.”

I get that Coaches need to have my way or the highway approach. There is honesty in this, and I respect that. But does anyone else have an issue with this statement.

Kostas came anyway after being told some version of this right? But now he is leaving because he has seen and experienced Grant and his approach.

My point is there is being tough and hard and disciplined on kids. But with 19 years olds, you need to tough - but not so in your face about it.

We just lost a potential key cog. I surely hope AG knows what he is doing and the respect to keep guys here. Not blaming him, but I do have to shrug my shoulders and wonder about his approach.


Edit: I posted before reading the "professional opp" post. So that's a slightly different issue. But I also beleive KA needs 1 or 2 years in college. But hey, everyone has an opinion ~

Or maybe he is leaving because he simply didn't like school (as stated by a teammate) and wants to pursue a pro career.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. These players that have left simply didn't like the plan that Anthony related to them. Anthony had enough time with his staff to evaluate all the players and where they might take the program. It pretty much follows that they did not agree with his assessment and didn't much care for him on the way out the door.

If Kostas is leaving because he did not like the coach... then good (buy in or get out).

If Kostas is leaving because he does not like college (and frankly doesn't need it)... then good luck - hope you end up having a professional career some day.

A lot of people, prior to these departures, were talking at least NIT next year. I hope that these departures are not used as excuses for not meeting expectations next year, since many posters are considering these departures to be addition by subtraction.

I think people have to pick a side on this.

Whether you want people to pick a side or not, barring something like 4-26 and even more player departures or some unforeseen event, AG is not getting fired for not making the NIT next year.

Will we on the boards be happy with that? That's another question. But, no, as frustrating as it will be to you, people don't have to pick a side. People are allowed to change their minds as the season unfolds. People don't have to be held to what they think 8 months before the season begins without even knowing the full roster makeup.

Is this the program record for most outbound transfers in one year?

I can not remember this many outbound transfers in one year, at least not recently.

This sort of thing has happened at other schools. Utah, SMU, and Kentucky come to mind.

The landscape has changed. It's a monkey-see-monkey-do world of (perceived) immediate gratification.

As others have stated, all are dead wood in AG's program. Exception being Kostas, and even with him no guarantees. The future is bright and it's not that far off!

With Kostas, Pierce and Williams now gone, and keeping in mind the infamous Pareto Principle (20% of players take 80% of your time) maybe Grant and staff can spend more of their time with players who want to get improve and win.

I have it on good authority that the reason for Kostas leaving was directly related to reading smitty10 posts, not even the players could handle it.

I heard something similar - He had a hard time comprehending the material, kept saying "this is all Greek to me!" Come on, you know that's funny.

Williams, Svoboda, Crosby, Pierce - no problem with any of them leaving.

Kostas on the other hand, don't see how to spin this as anything positive for UD. At the end of the season he was having a good positive impact on UD's performance, with lots of upside.

That said, if players are going to leave, it's good to have all of them do it at once and get it over with.

We have essentially 8 roster spots filled, so he has a real opportunity to remake this roster to his liking, depending on who he can pull.

Time for that AG recruiting magic to kick in. Lots of options: A solid grad transfer or two, another solid freshman or two, maybe a straight up old-fashioned transfer or two, pocket a scholarship for '19. The possibilities are endless.

Considering our starting 5 plus Kostas were the only people with any talent playing by end of year, this is not a bad thing IMO. Roster needs an influx of talent that is sold on AG badly.

AM inherited a better roster and this was his first coaching gig, hence the lack of big exodus. But he lost Alex, Robinson,Scott, Bass (I believe), etc.

AG very quickly saw time for a refresh, the benefit of experience.

You're right about Bass, but I think he could no longer play due to concussions.

He lost Bass to injury. Scott and Robinson didn't leave voluntarily. Only Price and Gavs left the program early on their own.

There was a reason Trey Landers played major minutes this season. It was because he put in the effort during practice and in the classroom. Nothing was guareenteed to him. It was earned. Bring in guys with Trey’s mentality and we’ll be better off.

5 transfers is the number I expected. Thought it could be 4. Thought it could be 6. Keeping Cunningham and re-doing the roster is the goal here. Toppin hopefully replaces some of Kostas’ unique skill set.

Interesting article, thought this was a good place to put it.

The Big East's plan calls for the elimination of the NBA's one-and-done rule, which prohibits its teams from drafting players until they are at least 19 or a year removed from high school.

'Two-or-none' would be an NCAA policy requiring basketball players who decide to go to college to commit for at least two seasons. Meanwhile, high school players who declare for the NBA draft would forfeit future college eligibility.

Nice suggestion by the BE but the NBA controls things. Can't force a player to stay in college for any length of time.

With AG you definitely know who is running the asylum. Not so sure with some coaches.

And Khari Price left voluntarily. And Matt D transferred as well.

With the logic of not counting Bass, Robinson, and Scoff; let's not count Kostas and Svoboda as going pro.

Apples to apples, Archie lost 6 in first 3 years (Matt D, Robinson, Scott, Bass, Gavs, and Price).. AG has lost 6 first 2 years (Miller, X, Crosby, Pierce, Kostas, and Svoboda). IMHO, quicker execution because of AG's experience.

Rebuilding Year?

How can a year when 4 of the starters for almost the entire year this year are returning and the fifth projected starter for next year is a junior coming off a red shirt but who had started a number of games in the prior year be projected as a rebuilding year?

What it is, Is an opportunity to build a bench composed of players the AG believes he can mold into better players than the current projected starters or at least give significant relief to the starters. Given Toppin has been with the program for one year and Cohill is coming in so highly rated AG already has a good start to a Bench. That's a front court and a back court sub. The subs 8 and above should not be considered the saviors of the program, they just need to hold their own should one of the starters or top two subs need a rest. I would expect this to be very seldom if the starters are good. It would or at least should take a special recruit to break into the top seven. They would use next year to learn the AG System and be ready to start in a year or two.

Fair enough, next year is not a rebuilding year. Care to offer a prediction for how next year's team does?

Before we have any clue who is filling the open spots? That would be really dumb. Things in life are not all black and white, either/or, 100% or 0%. It would be useful to keep that in mind.

Every year hope springs eternal. I think the 8 we have are a good core. We need to fill those other 5 with good players. Any transfer with immediate eligibility who is looking for significant playing time will likely see Dayton as a good opportunity. I expect there are one or two other unsigned incoming freshman that could be had as well. Since the roster now shakes up as follows:

Crutcher
Cohill
JDavis
Mikesell
Landers
Toppin
Cunningham
Matos

Height is a need, though not necessarily huge height. Anything in the 6'9" range will do, especially if there is already some muscle there. Best bet there is either juco or grad xfer for immediate playing time. Other transfers that have to sit out a year would be good but really need some immediate help in that area. Cunningham would be more effective guarding a 4 than a 5.

Definitely need another PG. Would love it if Alvarez comes here, but there are plenty of xfers available too. We have SG covered okay.

This isn't really that far off expectations on transfers, although I did hope KA would stay and continue to improve. Hopefully we start hearing some commitments soon.

That 8 man rotation might actually be an improvement over this season. Losing DD hurts, but I think Jordan Davis can fill those shoes. Beyond DD, We didn't lose anyone that contributed on a consistent basis. If Toppin, Matos, Cohill or any of the other guys still to come can contribute, I don't think we would be any worse than this past season.

I know that shouldn't be the bar, but when you have 1 senior and still lose 6 guys, that might have to be the bar.

At this point, any bar will do.
