Shouldn’t really surprise anyone. Hope he finds a good landing spot.

Did I do that? Lol. Yes, this was predictable. I wish him luck wherever he ends up, which is probably a lower level D-1 school.

He was always supporting the team on the sidelines and was always on tv because of it. Sure seemed his teammates liked him, but once you’re in the Mooney no handshake doghouse you are done.

Doesn’t a player have to see court time to get a handshake or no handshake? Hope he lands where he gets playing time.
 
Seemed like a good guy. Liked his size ability to play D at the high school level. Guessing offensively challenged since never really got a shot. Hope he goes to Radford or Longwood or somewhere like that and has a good opportunity.
 
good luck, Malcolm. we hardly knew ya. no idea what kind of player you are but I hope you get the chance to show it.

We can use the ship. Need to load up on portal no holding a ship back either I hope. This is also why u recruit these days w a transfer in mind. Had that debate in early fall during hs recruiting. It’s all but guaranteed. Dread was more of a role player at Gonzaga tho lost benefit of senior year. Gl to him seemed like solid team guy & hope he lands on his feet.

I picked Grace and Goose since their eligibility is definitely done. Maybe Crabtree gets a bionic overhaul and decides to come back yet again.
 
Just confirming Dread is the only transfer out so far? Checked the transfer thread and I’m 8 pages behind so not reading thru it all. I’m assuming a transfer out would get their own thread but just making sure I’m not missing anything?

Correct
 
Nothing on Twitter. Only got a few tweets about him entering, and given his stats unlikely to get much attention until he finds a landing spot.
This is why I never did online dating too? And lol, Spiderman. That cracked me up.

Can someone remind me what Gipe has done to earn a lot of praise on this board? I’m not knocking him, I honestly don’t know who he’s brought into the program.

I think people were generally impressed and optimistic about the transfers we brought in last year, which I think Gipe was given some credit for. Also, some people are excited about Trevor Smith and/or Collin Tanner next season, which I think Gipe is also given some credit for.

I'm a little uncomfortable with some of the recent Gipe comments. I'm sure he reads the board from time to time, and he's a married man. Not a great look.
 
Gipe is well liked on this board because he appears to be a genuine, hard working guy, that is seen on recruiting trail and social medias relentlessly. That said, I really like the hire of Boyden. Over the years, I think we have had too many Mooney lifers that seem to be ingrained in the ways of finesse, there's always next year, defense is only tactical (not embedded in toughness in the culture), etc etc. I am not sure if Gipe has a voice or not when it comes to trying to prompt and help Mooney improve in certain areas. I feel like Boyden does and was even mentioned by Mooney on the defensive end, which seemed to have a renewed energy - at least at the start of the season.

Well, as the person who may or may not have suggested that Gipe would make a good knife salesman, I will say that we have heard from Dji's dad that Gipe was instrumental in his recruiting and I have heard that Gipe is well respected in the locker room. I think Grant praised him last year for helping him develop his game. I think he is viewed as kind of the head of our recruiting efforts, whether that is entirely accurate or not, not entirely sure.

But Gipe sure didn't start out as someone who got a lot of praise on this board, but there have been many other tidbits that have been said publicly and privately that all paint the same picture, that he is good as his job.

I like Boyden too.

but Gipe seems to be our lead recruiter. he might may have been the lead on each of our last 5 recruits. he was definitely in the picture with Mooney when we were watching Trevor Smith workout ... and according to the 247 rankings, Smith is our best recruit ever.

been with Mooney a while but not a lifer. started at VT and was there under 3 different guys ... Greenberg, James Johnson and Buzz Williams.
