You take criticism all the time from coaches, fans, the media, and even your own family members. The things that people share about you on a message board are no different. Trust me. The way that Keith has talked to some of these guys would make anyone transfer if they were thin skinned.

UAZip0510 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Updated the original post to remove Noah and Hughes (that will be coming next). Only one more possible, but I think that'll be it for outgoing transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 How was Noah at preventing the dribble penetration you guys talk about so much? Will definitely miss seeing Noah out there, but he might not have been a good fit with Groce. Did Noah or Antino have more steals? Admiring Jimond more and more.

UAZip0510 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Antino and Noah were not a good fit paired as starters. Neither one was willing to be 6th man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither one was willing to be 6th man. I thought 'Tino turned into the much better player but KD was infatuated w/ Noah. During Noah's freshman season I was too. I'd never seen a true freshman PG come in and have such command of the game. Unfortunately, I don't think Noah was ever half the player he was as a freshman after suffering that knee injury. If given the choice between the two I'd pick 'Tino. Especially if Coach Groce wants to pressure & run. Not a style seemingly fit for Noah's game, but perfect for 'Tino.

So, if all plays out, the Zips will lose 4 of 5 starters (Kwan, Dog, Antino and Noah) and the 6th man (Josh). Wow. I think the point Blue & Gold makes is a solid one- Noah's departure would open things up for Antino if he wants to return (fingers crossed).

Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 If I remember correctly, Noah was considering transferring after his freshman year before his knee injury. I will miss his character on and off the court as he represented the UA well, but he's not a good fit for Groce's system. Tino needs to stay now. He can thrive in Groce's system, too. You're not going to be seeing Big Dog's anymore for a while. Groce will bring in high motor, athletic players committed to running and playing in-your-face defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more being underutilized while playing 2nd fiddle to Noah. I have a hard time believing that Noah wouldn't be the 2nd fiddle for Groce. He probably saw there wasn't a fit and moved one while he could knowing there wouldn't be a penalty by sitting a year. Granted, it probably wasn't the only factor, but it had to play a role in the decision process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I will miss Noah. No hard feelings on his decision to leave. I remember when he injured his knee during that Miami(Ohio) game. And I remember his ripping into the sight-impaired trainer. However, he had to know right then his playing career was going to be different going forward. Prior to that injury he had some great moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyolcrowe Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 just saw where New Mexico St has offered Antino a scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Noah was never the same after the injury. In a season of transition, his senior leadership and calming influence could have helped, but in many games last year he seemed reduced to the role of the guy who brought the ball up the floor, posing little or no offensive threat. I wish him luck as he seems like a great kid from every interview I've heard in the last three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this I really can't spin in a good way. I really didn't know there were so many available slots for undersized guards. We now have likely lost four. And what's frustrating is that we don't know what is going on. What our leadership is doing to try and keep these players or find replacements.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Antino is receiving offers from LSU and NMSU, yet Dambrot had him as our borderline 6th man, and we didn't win the MAC Tourney. Does something seem wrong to anybody else? When do these transferring decisions need to be made by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
