Unfortunately it is pretty easy to guess what recruits are gonna be like with Mooney. I think we all know no the long list of recruiting failures by Mooney so to me unless they are rated really high I just assume every recruit is gonna be another failure.
I agree it is not widespread but I thought there were two not one just can not remember who. I thought I asked if the two choices were either win a national championship or Mooney leave that two said they would take the latter. I could be mistaken.
So you assume they will be Diekvoss, Dominaus, Pietrowski, Pistokache not Buckingham, Golden, Sherod, Gilyard?
Actually, there have been multiple posts where CM detractors have indicated that they’d be ok with a variety of conditions that brought about his demise. I’m too lazy and too unsophisticated to know how to find and share them within this post, but off the top of my head there have been statements to the effect of (paraphrased):
I will admit that yes I did say some of those things. I would be fine if we made the NCAA even if it meant keeping Mooney. Basically as long as Mooney is winning again and taking us to the big dance I'm fine with him as our coach. I did say that I would be fine with players transferring if it means firing Mooney though. And I will admit that after our terrible start to the season I would root against us if a game was close because I wanted to see Mooney gone.
which was posted on this thread.
If you want to call me lazy that’s fine, I’m too tired to rummage through endless threads where those notions have been offered to cite them, but don’t call me a liar. They exist, they’re definitely on the site. VT just copped to one above.
Well, my stance is you can’t indicate that someone has “lied” and not be suggesting they aren’t also a liar. You seem like a smart guy, I’m gathering you understand that.I'm not calling you a liar. In this thread, nobody was "rooting for failure."
If you honestly believe a great many people on this forum want to see this program fail, that's certainly your prerogative. Obviously, I disagree. I tend to assume the best in people.
VT is the one I was excluding. He's the only example I can think of. I guess I'm lazy too.
yeah, that's a good question. not sure how long the grad transfer rule has been in effect either. was it an option when Butler or Bucknor were playing?
That shows how many that were eligible to be grad transfers did. It doesn't show how many were eligible and didn't. Trying to get a ratio to see which is more rare.
all things equal, loyalty is awesome. but you've also got to do what you think is best for you.
Don’t know what this has to do with loyalty. Khwan spent four years at UR. Worked hard. Made significant contributions to the program. He has graduated and will move on. He has been exeedingly loyal. Thank you, Khwan. You other guys need to re-evaluate.

Loyalty also cuts both ways. These players are not guaranteed scholarships each year. I don’t fault any of them if they decide to roll out after four years.
I’ll admit that my UR education may be failing me, but I don’t recall loyalty being consider a virtue.
Well, I think it’s a consideration. If you don’t see that, then that is of course your perspective.
T-Bone, I think that’s the underlying sentiment we all feel about Khwan. “It’s a bummer” sums it up for me. Very nice young man that we all hate to lose. We will see, but in my opinion both parties will be lessened a bit next year by parting ways.
Agreed. Will be very interested to see not only where he ends up but how it plays out.
