Khwan Fore

[UR80sfan]

There are a lot of people who have heard that Khwan Fore maybe leaving U of R. I hope it is not true or that he reconsiders, although ultimately I want what is best for him.

Khwan has been a joy to watch over the past 3 years. His electrifying dunks have brought the sellout Robin Center crowd to their feet on many occasions. He has been a valuable member of the Spider community and has helped us win many games. With his help next year I think we have a shot at winning the A10. If he doesn't return my biggest regret is that we were not able to show him on senior night how much we all appreciate the 110% effort he brought to every game.

Ditto, Amen!

I really, really, hope it's not true. He is really fun to watch.

 

[UFA 2006]

Favorite player. Hope he stays.

 

[SpiderFan]

He definitely improved every year I felt and his energy and enthusiasm were always apparent. His athleticism was unmatched on the team.

 

[BillyWayne]

I understand his decision, although I think it's shortsighted. My hope is that after he tests the waters (hopefully without an agent so it doesn't screw up eligibility), he'll realize that another year of basketball/graduate school here will be the better route.

Agree Billy. Us older folks know it’s not a good choice in the long run, but he is young and maybe tired of school like we all were.

Like and identify with the "older folks" reference - which also leads to the observation that since he doesn't have to be concerned about a military obligation that the military draft raised for many of us he can do whatever he wants. Here's to wanting that to be staying a Spider as his drive, hustle, determination, and attitude are a joy to behold.

If he has earned his degree, then go make $ playing a game. One bad injury and the opportunity to play a game he loves for $ is gone.

Agree... It really is this simple...

What professional league is going to offer Khwan a sizable contract? Getting his masters would be more beneficial in the long run no matter where he attends.

I love Khwan and hope he stays but if he leaves I don't think it's because he wants to go pro straight out of UR

Maybe Khwan wants to go pro and he thinks using his last year of eligibility at UR won't help that? Sounds a lot more believable than going straight from UR.

 

[Eight Legger]

Maybe Jones told him he is a likely first-round draft pick?

 

[fatherspider]

How about the crazy concept that he wants to be on a winning team and make the dance. And he doesnt see that being likely here.

 

[Spiders05]

He's not leaving to go pro. Fact.

 

[spiders13]

Hypothetical...he leaves for a tournament run, Bryce comes to UR, we make tourney...think he’s pissed he left even if makes tourney at new school? Kinda had a big part of the last 3 years and I’m sure he loves the guys

 

[SpiderK]

He's not leaving to go pro. Fact.

I still haven’t seen that he is leaving at all from a credible source.

Evidence schmevidence...

 

[Spiders05]

No.

 

[Stonewall D]

I think we should respect this young man's privacy. These are important life altering decisions. If he is thinking about leaving, we should respectfully not speculate about it in public.

 

[Octapod]

Then don't start a thread about it. This thread is just a fluff piece started to send some positive vibes his way. It puts him in the spotlight one way or the other. If you want to give him privacy, don't bring him up. I noticed another fluff piece/comment today about another player there is speculation about. Again, if you want to give them privacy, don't talk about them. Easy enough.

Stonewall didn't start the thread.

 

[Octapod]

I know. It was start by a pro Mooney poster. People are blaming the anti Mooney crowd for driving posters away. Yet, you have the daily fluff pieces. In my opinion, a lot of them are started to troll the anti Mooney side.

 

[spider23]

Thank you pod, I do feel trolled sometimes but now am focusing all positive energy on landing Bryce and a stud grad transfer guard to help out. I do want the guy from Wagner but he doesn't help this year, though he would make practices more competitive. Let's goooooo!!!!

 

[Eight Legger]

This thread will have zero bearing on Khwan's decision, as evidenced by the fact that he has already made his decision. Wish him well and move on.

Really, are the positive people not entitled to their opinion?

 

[MolivaManiac]

Stonewall didn't start the thread.

Stonewall has 3 or 4 handles on this board, so he actually might have.

 

[Octapod]

They are, but then don't complain when someone comes on with a rebuttal. The rebuttal shows up, and people complain. If you don't want something said about a particular player, don't start a thread about them. If you do, you are inviting people's opinion, good or bad.

[Eight Legger]

Yeah, where did that "Ben" guy go anyway? He made a splash for awhile, then hit the road. Now this 80s guy appears...

 

[SpiderRick]

Leaving to play for money? A 6ft guard that can't make free throws or 3 pointers? Somebody is living in a dream world.

 

[UR79&Peanuts]

Please must we trash our own
I’m out of here until the storm blows over

 

[SpiderK]

Probably both the same dude on Shafer Court.

 

[Octapod]

Sock puppets are allowed on the boards?

 

[97spiderfan]

He's not leaving to go pro. Fact.

Thanks 05 for that important clarification. So, is it safe to say, he is using the grad transfer rule to go play for another school?

 

[Spiders05]

Yup

 

[spiderman]

any insight as to why a release hasn't been announced?

 

[Eight Legger]

Seems obvious that Mooney has been trying to change his mind.

Thanks O5 and Eight. These insights were how I thought things were playing out. Obviously, I hope Mooney is successful in his efforts.

 

[Ulla1]

How do you know Coach Mooney is trying to change Khwan's mind? What was your source? Just your personal opinion? If so, say so.
