Agree with Roo in part specifically on the multi bid league crap.  Whose fault is that?  There's no NCAA rule that says MAC is one bid league.  It's been lame coaches like Dambrot and Hawkins who made the league one bid.

And nothing against the players who leave if they do.  I just don't see Duquense rebuilding their program around them.  They are young and must have so many people chirping in their ears right now.  I hope they have someone they can absolutely trust to guide them.  I'm probably naive, but I hope President Wilson is reaching out to them as I'm sure the AD is.

Where are you guys seeing Hughes is gone? I think a lot of these guys will probably regret saying some of this stuff in a few days. But I can't blame them

Ty Dalton named Hughes as someone that he was leaving with. Nothing straight from Hughes as of now.

I'll say it again.  Don't you think this represents a golden opportunity for Hughes to get another opportunity here under a new coach?

I don't read Antino's tweet that way.  I read it like he wants to break that cycle.  Give these kids time to sort this out.  Think about how all of us react hastily to a simple botched play or blown lead and we are just fans.  These guys are facing huge change.

I'm not seeing it. Unless he deleted a tweet or something

Anyone who leaves has to give up their scholarship and sit out a year, unless they drop down.

Don't be so quick to assume that starters are willing to do that. Most of our guys are not about to get P5 scholarship offers. Most certainly not Antino or Noah or Hughes.

Yeah, looks like it was deleted. He said something along the lines of: To those wondering, TDM, Hughes, and me are leaving.

And again, TDM (5'8"0) and Hughes (never got any minutes to speak of and showed NOTHING) are NOT getting P5 scholarship offers. If they leave they only shoot themselves in the foot.

Especially TDM, his only real chance to play in D1 is at a Mid-Major due to his size.

TDM says that he is following Dambrot. I'm sure he was offered a scholarship. My assumption is that Hughes and Dalton are going to Duquesne as well, since it was stated that they are leaving together.

 Dambrot recruited TDM when no one else would, so his loyalty on surface (not knowing any of these people personally) is understandable.  And a big thank you to Keith for keeping ZipsNation basketball forums open and in business for the next 6 months.

AND they won't be playing next year.

AND they can drag down the program there. They can follow him, we can get open scholarships for some JUCO transfers. We have been very successful with them in the past.
