It sucks, but it's college basketball. Players are transferring in record numbers nowadays. Not surprising.Somebody tell me how to feel about this...
YupGet a few more to leave and we will get to use the "young" excuse again.
Agreed. He was not good on defense. But not worse than any of the starters who played huge minutes.He had the potential to be a mini microwave off the bench but he showed great defensive liability and was never going to crack the starting lineup.
Fans shouldn't be thrilled by the transfer but also shouldn't feel devastated by it.
It wouldn't be a huge loss if we knew Miles would replace this scholarship with a shooter. But, we all know how that has turned out for him thus far.He had the potential to be a mini microwave off the bench but he showed great defensive liability and was never going to crack the starting lineup.

So very true. Horne was a scape goat. Meanwhile, our perimeters got taken off the drive and gave up a lot of open threes. Some of that could be due to fatigue and getting worn down, but that's Miles' fault anyway for insisting on playing that ineffective, small three guard lineup about 25 minutes a game.Agreed.

His defensive shortcomings weren't apparent when he was being recruited?
Well to be fair, they probably also knew that every year key players abandon the sinking Miles ship.Hmmm, I remember someone saying they were afraid of a bunch of transfers if Miles was fired?
Yeah the idea that Webster was some defensive stud can be put to bed. I would be curious to know the percentage of wide open 3's as a result of Webster getting blown by.So very true.

Pretty said that a talented, KC player is leaving the program so quickly.
Hey, I'll play if you don't have enough guys . . .
And Horne was one of the guys that might have stayed IF he had been canned. Do you want Roby, Jordy and Watson, or do you want Horne? When a true freshman leaves because of playing time, that tells me that maybe he has unrealistic expectations. Good luck to himWell to be fair, they probably also knew that every year key players abandon the sinking Miles ship.
Watson is a pretty good defensive player with active hands and good footwork.
Jordy showed pretty strong improvement from the first couple of months to the last month.
After that, you're probably right. Not a very talented defensive team which hurts even more when you look at the low offensive numbers.
What if any of them leave?And Horne was one of the guys that might have stayed IF he had been canned. Do you want Roby, Jordy and Watson, or do you want Horne? When a true freshman leaves because of playing time, that tells me that maybe he has unrealistic expectations. Good luck to him
Something tells me your tune would change if so.That would be a problem.
IF IFs and buts were candy and nuts....Horne had a good game. What is lost in that is that usually so did the guys he guarded. I hate losing him, but if a true freshman transfers because of playing time what are you gonna do? Somehow I doubt he ends up at KU.Something tells me your tune would change if so.
Since he lost Craig Smith it's all been downhill. Molinari is terrible, Hunter is there for recruiting and I'd say he's done a fine job. Billy Donovan's guy had promise it's too bad he bailed once he saw he was joining a sinking ship.Can't afford to lose any more players. Miles needs to get a couple new assistants.

Substandard practice habits?
