Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Can't exactly be great for team chemistry, coming off a year where the team choked away the regular season title, when the star player enters the transfer portal and comes back. I wonder if the Rona recruiting ban is the reason for his return. Edited April 14, 2020 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 On paper BGSU should be the favorite to win the MAC with Turner returning. Turner had a long list of offers. If he really wanted to be out of BG, he'd have transferred. I can't see anyone faulting him for weighing his options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He held his program in purgatory, not being able to recruit his spot by not knowing if there was a spot or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will hit 4th in the East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is certainly within the rules...and almost expected now-a-days...I personally don't like the concept of feeling out your options, and then going back to your wife if they don't work out. But that's the way is seems to go in the Grad Transfer era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the way is seems to go in the Grad Transfer era. Yeah part of that is on them. I know a good amount of coaches have a policy that once you're in the portal, there's no coming back. I'd hope Groce has the same policy to avoid that situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sounds like the BG coach is a forgiving soul, taking back Frye in the regular season and now Turner. He's also a realist. The team is better with Turner than without and he gets paid to win. What an awful year to be in the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 It's a crazy year. After BG self destructed, he may have figured that the only way to get to the Dance was with a "lock" school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between being a preseason favorite and actually winning the league. They play the games for a reason. It's extremely rare that the MAC has a team like Buffalo 2 years ago that's clearly a runaway favorite from the get go. It's part of what makes the MAC such an entertaining mid-major conference to watch. BG very well may not win the regular season title, but I'd be stunned if they don't finish with one of those top 4 coveted seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) With or without the coronavirus we should be scheduling tougher. I can't speak for the rest of you, but I found it much more entertaining to watch Akron give #2 Louisville all they could handle on the road than watching us beat Concord by 50 at home. Of course the Louisville game would have been better with a win, but the more times you play those games, the more your odds increase of actually winning them. Plus those type of games prepare you for March. Edited April 16, 2020 by kreed5120 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One went to Marquette and one went to Arizona State. Can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
