PROVIDENCE UPDATE

[Walter]

Hate that for him. But realistically, he wasn’t going to get a lot of minutes this year.

Really bummed for justyn. Hopefully he can rehab and be back by mid season. Huge fan of his.

Better off taking the medical redshirt and making sure the knee is 100%. As noted he was not in line for major minutes next season anyhow given Providence’s roster.

Medical Redshirting makes the most sense if it is indeed a torn ACL as rumored by the Providence Boards. He's already old for his year. He did a semester of post graduation at IMG and a semester at Mason before he started playing. If he wanted to, he potentially could grad-transfer and still have 2 years of elgibilty left and play for Tennessee once KE pulls another Rick Barnes and dips for Knoxville. At least he can come out with a free masters.

He’s definitely gonna get recruited over at Providence. It’s something kids too often don’t take into account when hitching their wagons to charismatic coaches like Kim: The same qualities that made you want to play for a particular coach make it possible for him to sign higher-rated prospects.

Knee injury or not, I did not expect Providence to be Justyn’s last school. He would’ve been better off staying at Mason and developing into an all-conference player in the A-10.

Any chance Justyn pulls a Kenny Sanders?

He coulda been a contenda!

Beats the hell out of his roommate while donning a lab coat?

I was referring to transferring to Oklahoma (or was it Ok St.?), then transferring back.

I knew Sanders transferred from Oklahoma to Mason, but was not aware he had previously been at Mason. That’s a long, strange trip.

I can't find any reference to any school but Mason.

So he came very close but never actually played there.

Yeah he definitely never suited up for Oklahoma

 

[Walter]

Sanders is probably a top five best player to ever wear the green and gold. So tough and persistent in the paint.

No probably about it

Evans
Yates
Sanders
Dykes
Thomas

IMHO

 

[Walter]

I would add Pearson and remove Dykes.

2,000+ points and 1,000+ boards and only 6'5". He was great to watch.

Still remember finding Dykes in my apartment with Hodges late one night coming back from work.

With Huggins now out at West Virginia I wonder if KE will throw his name in the ring, after all he is undefeated at Providence........
