I see he is going to Texas. That is one team I will never support along with anyone playing for them. Good luck in life but cannot cheer for success while playing there.
Punch just lost me

- Start date
Another sell out. As I watched him he sometimes appeared less than 100% either mental or physical. Maybe Del conte promised him a new hair do.

He got paid. How can one fault that?
If you fault that, sit down by the fireplace and let me tell you about the state of collegiate athletics. Gosh forbid any of us want to be financially secure. It is not about allegiance, it is transactional.

I don't fault him getting paid, just who he is getting paid by.
You can get an undersized power forward who is a decent player for WAY cheaper than that.

Not a good look to be criticizing players when they leave; others may be watching.
I am sad he is gone; he has two years left and is a Dixon recruit that blossomed so I hate losing that, but I think I am at peace because we retained Robinson, Edmonds, Harding and Toolson. Focus on hoping nothing changes with that!
I wish we had retained Diallo; he has quick feet and size. And Lelevicious; as he will improve next year now that he has his feet wet.

they are paying him 3 million? yeah, that's a bad deal on their part.
Agree that we didn't want to lose him but cant blame him for going somewhere to get more money as there is zero chance he plays in the NBA and not sure what is GPA looks like so......we will find a suitable replacement. And once Matthew McConaughey gives him a big hug on the sidelines he may want to come back.

I know nothing on the diallo situation, but I think he had two acl issues within 3 years going back to high school. Not a player I'm spending a ton on. We can upgrade that one. Even though he seemed like a good kid, i'd bet he was told to look elsewhere if his asking price was beyond reason.
We aren't going to keep or get players because our fans are nice to them. We are going to get and keep them with money. Period.
I get tired of people still acting like these guys can't/shouldn't be criticized. They are professionals. Dealing with criticism is part of the job. Professional athletes get criticized ALL THE TIME.

But there is nothing to criticize Punch for, so it is wrong; just sour grapes that is shallow and reflects poorly on the Frog fan base.

I don’t wish any ill will on him but I can’t cheer for any success with Texas. Just not in my DNA. Hope he has a great career after Texas though.
