akronzips71 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 So a true D1 player goes to JUCO so he won't need to sit out a year. Dumb, just dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 My guess is Eric did not get any offer that excited him enough to sit out a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he'll have a great season, and probably find a nice mid-tier D1 program for his final 2 seasons. My money is on Houston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 There's probably more to the story (whichever you subscribe to) than Groce pushing him out/he not wanting to be here if he is going JUCO. He is good enough to land at a decent place. Has to be grades or something else off the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Maybe he just always wanted to live in Bossier City, Louisiana. It is the gateway to Shreveport you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I hated to lose an athletic guy that showed some potential as a frosh. It seems like a big step down from Akron. I wonder if he regrets his decision to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Complete speculation - some decent program said they were booked scholarship-wise for 2018-19, and told him they'd sign him for 2019-20 if he played JUCO ball for a year. Or - he had mediocre interest due to his limited body of work, and thought he could improve his 2019-20 stock by putting up some gaudy JUCO numbers. Wherever he went he'd need to sit out a year, so I'm sure playing any level of basketball was more appealing than sitting on the end of a bench in street clothes watching the other guys have all the fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking true to their Transfer U nickname. Pretty good landing spot for Parrish. It's unfortunate it didn't work out here, but I think it's ultimately for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I saw of Parrish last season, he was a decent MAC level player, but not close to having the maturity athletically to compete at a top 10 school. I guess my only explanation is this: Musselman!

zippy5 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Musselman recruited him there and left before he ever played for him. Maybe just wasn't going to fit in in Alford's scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
