Forgot about Darnell, who is a good ball handling and passing point guard. That with AT makes a full five last year and four this year without any other recruiting--and Goss as a reserve.

I believe the narrative has to do with players who most of us saw tremendous potential in who were not particularly well coached or otherwise discarded once our prior coaching change was made.  Many knew that JR could be an explosive scorer, that Marfo could be a tremendous rebounder, and that Colin Smith could be very effective on a successful team.  I don't think there are many here who wonder why on earth we couldn't keep Goss, Griffin, or Cimino.

Hugh, exactly, it has been that way for 4 years on the board, this one and the prior.

PJ left ML, during ML. 
Toro stayed at GW to play with Mojo and now JC, just as you stated. The use of this never-ending narrative is bizarre and tiresome.  

Can we just be GW fans? root for the team, and cheer on past players, do we need to prop up false tropes to air 4 year old grievances day after day?    This is supposed to be a site for GW fans, not a propaganda 4 year long never ending grievance campaign about a decision forced, 1300 days ago.  

Yes, why would anyone want to talk about former players who left when we are in such a great situation?
Now, teams like Dayton who are suffering through a bad year, only being up Georgia by 20 at one point, and currently playing in a non-ballroom tournament with Michigan State, North Carolina and Kansas as opposed to Kansas City, Evansville and Milwaukee, they can wonder about the past and what might have been.
And why would we care about the son of a former GW Hall of Famer, who has overcome being the shortest NCAA Division 1 player in the last 20 years?
Why care about our program history at all?
 

73-47!!!

As you mentioned Colin Goss and JR would have graduated last year

Is anyone surprised that as 5th year senior he's getting some run at Delaware?

It would be pretty alarming if our guys transferred down and didn't play at all

Like the case with Cimino and Swann.

Terry Nolan Jr and Mazz are going to thrive elsewhere as 5th year seniors. Kethan PJ Lasan and Pellom transferred up and all did

I'm all for keeping track of former GW players. What is with this narrative if we had only kept the guys who transferred down particularly players who had virtually no playing time while at GW.
Nick Griffin did as well are we surprised players transferring down as 5th year seniors are getting a lot of run what is with this narrative lol

The narrative that The Dude was speaking about had to do with the clamoring for players who transferred DOWN (as in why do we want to suggest we should have kept them at GW).  My point was to suggest that many of us saw enormous potential in guys who transferred down, like JR and Marfo (Colin was more of a lateral move), but that doesn't mean that we regret losing all transfers who transferred down (like Cimino, Goss and Griffin).

Hugh, by bringing up someone who transferred UP like PJ, you're addressing something that wasn't part of The Dude's narrative and therefore, something I wasn't commenting on.  It's entirely possible that Hugh did not mean exactly what The Dude's quote, referenced here, meant.  But when The Dude then goes along with what Hugh said, well, let's just say that The Dude really ought to know what his own quotes and narratives mean.

I will do my part not to.  Perhaps you can as well by not contradicting yourself, sucking up to others, and posting dozens of times per day (often saying the same things again and again).  On behalf of the board, thanks.

And with that, I'll join Long Suffering Fan in asking that we each do not respond or even indirectly reference one another.
 

True, but Dayton pulled the starters and played the back of the bench, the lead was close to 30 a few minutes earlier!
Va Tech is playing Mich St on ESPN, Dayton gets the winner.

Is Dayton severely under-ranked? maybe they are the beast of the A10, I think most people thought it would be VCU. Maybe both are very good?

Big challenge ahead in the next game for them    

Richmond wins! great win for the A10

Chance to make a good week a really great week for the A10

Watch the BYU wax UCLA last night. Bill Walton games are hilarious to listen to.  I forgot Mick Cronin had gone to UCLA

Can anyone get them back to National contention level it's been quite a bad run since they fired Ben Howland which to this day I don't understand

Like the Texas decision with Rick Barnes the grass ain't always greener
