QF didn't turn tail, but stuck around and proved his ability and then some. Like I said, I wasn’t negating that, I was commenting to mean more along the lines of “it’s crazy to think of what things would have been like if this were to happen,” which really is what I should have said from the getgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that it didn't happen because of the kind of person/player QF is which is why he was as great as he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is... If we lose Kean, nothing lost. Barnett is the starter for two years, Kean has two years of eligibility. Barnett is the starter for Kean's years. If we lose Oladokun, Barnett is the starter for two years and we lost Oladokun's last year as a senior. Not great, but I'll take two years of a better guy in the trade off and move to one of the incoming guys, Battle or McCloud. If Barnett flames out, it's a wash. I see what you’re saying for sure. Like I told someone else who just commented, I wasn’t really negating what you were saying originally just more along the lines of “this would have been crazy” kind of deal.

Whenever someone tries to make it seem like a player is starting due to some sort of shady politics, it's just stupid. Larkin truly believes he was shafted by a guy who has LITERALLY millions of dollars on the line and picked a lesser player just because... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many programs get the privilege of getting a guy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is crazy if he thinks coaches at the D1 level don’t play the best available players. CCS and especially the assistant coaches want more $$$.

He clearly has ego issues and doesn’t want to back his team, just himself.
