Committed Elsewhere Chris Payton, 6-7/205, SF, Bloomington, IL (JUCO)

[SgtHulka]

"But while BHS 6-7 senior standout Chris Payton will play after missing last week’s win over Urbana for disciplinary reasons, Mosley does not anticipate an easy time of it."

Seems to have some issues staying on the court this season. Kind of glad he didn't come here, the LAST thing Muller needs is another attitude to manage.

Possibly. But wish he had gone out of conference just in case. But, given Berruh likely gets the axe at the end of the year he may not end up at SIU

C Payton has quit the BHS team. Coaches trying to work with him.

Glad he decommitted. The last thing we need is another head case

We've had waaaay to many of those. I'll take 12 ordinary average guys who work together and aren't me first


We'll, they can think about me first, as long as they don't think about themselves first. :lol:

Wow! I wonder how SIU feels about him now?

Does it matter? Chances are there will be a new coach in Podunk.

Bryan Mullins will either the best thing that ever happened to Chris Payton or the worst.

I’m interested to see what happens with his recruiting after Mullins is named HC in Carbondale.

My bet is Payton ends up at Prep School and re-opens his recruitment. But if he goes to SIU and Mullins can connect with him then Payton will be a tremendous player for them.

I didn't know Barry was in the Karate Kid . . .

Maybe Dan knew more than we did, and that is why he is not going to be a Redbird. Maybe it was no longer an option for Mr Payton to be a Redbird. He’s all yours SIU.

Hoping for the best for the young man, but hard not to imagine that we dodged a bullet on this one.

Is it time to change the title of this thread to 2020 vs. 2019?

 

[SgtHulka]

I have a friend who follows Bloomington and he had told me he was a head case, from back when we had signed him. Wasn't surprised by this and thinks we dodged a bullet

No, that is a picture of Greggggggg's wife.

Too bad he has other influences in his life undermining his coaches authority.
