Good. Hopefully he learns from this and starts tearing it up!

If he even starts hustling and playing team ball, that is enough for me.  He's got the talent if he gives effort.

If the crime was "not playing", why does the punishment involve "not playing"?  I don't get it.  It must be one of those complicated situations.  GB anyway!

The bigger crime was walking out on the team.

Thank god this kid game to his senses. Even if he does it for selfish reasons he needs to show he can man up and play through adversity (read: USF basketball) and play well in a good league (the BE) in order to get to the NBA (his ultimate goal).

I hope it was a team decision to let him come back ...

no one knows what exactly happened. He didn't go with team to Kent St, but didn't "walk out" for "selfish reasons." coach knew he planned to leave and didn't want to announce because he wanted to change his mind which he did. Players transferring schools is common. I'm sure Gus had his reasons and is not known for being bigger than team or other selfish reasons even when he was supposed to be "star" of team. maybe Gus' reasons for planning to transfer were not the "best" but I believe he had legitimate reasons to think about leaving team.

Not sure where you're getting your info but I think some of it may be a little bit too skewed to the player ... If you walk out on your team for anything other than something catastrophic, it's selfishness... and I'm not sure it's real common for players to transfer schools in the middle of a season ... maybe I'm wrong there.

because I know Gus personally and found out from him Sunday he was planning to transfer. I'm not going in depth but it was something internal with team and I didn't want to ask anything else because it was his business, not mine

Regardless of why, it's selfish for him to plan to transfer. You can be selfish with good purpose (E.g. if Heath was planning on converting him to PG that'd be horrible for him) but without further details we don't know whether that's the case.

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. If he's back on the team I'll cheer for him and hope he does well.

Sorry, if it is his business why are you sharing any of it then?  To me this has as much credence as the earlier reports from everyone that had information from inside the team saying that it was a mutiny of the entire team against Heath and blah blah blah.  If you are not at liberty to speak to the entire story, and you are the personal friend of GG you really should leave it alone completely.  Not much of a friend if you ask me.
