lol.

 

[Bird Friend]

Unbelievable . . .

 

[Bird Friend]

They gave him a medical hardship waiver

 

[DannyCooksey]

He’s gotten some great life experience. Good for him. Maybe he goes Northeast or Deep South this time?

 

[DWRedbird]

Unbelievable . . .

Apparently he was looking to beat Zach Lofton's transfer record.

 

[gobirds85]

Unbelievable . . .

He has to have one heck of a t shirt collection by now.

 

[Hamdonger]

Unbelievable . . .

I would really be looking to go Hawaii at this point and thoroughly enjoy the portal experience. Then he can, ummm, "graduate"...become a 'portal coach' and help "student-athletes" (tee hee hee) to experience 6 schools in 6 yrs...or whatever it is. Good luck kid!

 

[Hamdonger]

Is there a Maui U??

 

[Hamdonger]

How many credit hours has the kid lost due to this amount of transferring??

 

[Baltimore Bird]

Does he care?

 

[fdbird83]

Let's stop calling them student/athletes. Most of them are athletes first and student second. Some use school for the right reasons but for the most part that is long gone.

Does he care?

Clearly not!

Which, especially at the MVC level is stupid because most of them aren't going to be playing basketball in 5 years for any money.

It'd be cooler if the transfer rules were such that you can transfer once without having to sit a year. Every time you transfer after that, you sit a year like the old rule. See what that does to people who want to enter the portal 79 times.

Should have given one to Tarise!

Should have given one to Tarise!

I dont bitch or bash much on here but Bryson's situation was just disgusting considering what you see going on in college sports today! The guy got robbed of an important life experience!!

Randy Rice played for Springfield HS in late 1990's.

Like him or not, Coach Richardson was robbed, too. Tarise would have made a substantial difference in win/loss column over 2 years had he not gotten hurt and had he been granted the additional year. The dude put 38 on Purdue, for crying out loud.
