Watch what players do, not what they say. Our starters transfer to Maryland, not the other way around.

The author has provided some good content. Too bad he seems intent on crossing the line to the troll side of the street.

Saying "don't attack Don Carey" - in anticipation of people griping about him leaving to Maryland - is not trolling. It's kind of the opposite.

Don is a class act. Allows him to stay in the area, get payed nil, and take on a complementary role.
We avoided the awkward situation of having to take the captaincy role away from last years 0-22 starting QB.

Doesn't seem like the right way to lobby for a job, but I guess that's what plays at our program.

We avoided the awkward situation of having to take the captaincy role away from last years 0-22 starting QB. Why would PE have taken his captaincy away from him? The new Thompson/Ewing-first narrative is that Don wasn't good enough to start on next year's team due to all the great talent on the roster. Our upgraded roster of talented athletes will be the narrative throughout the offseason and through the early season cupcake schedule. Then, when we start losing to real teams, it won't be Ewing's fault through poor coaching, but the narrative will shift to our talent just wasn't good enough. Sprinkle in some injuries and losses due to COVID outbreaks. Rinse and repeat so Ewing can continue collecting his undeserved salary and bury our program further...

He’s good enough to start but he’s not a leader. Can’t take over a game in crunch time (cause limited athletically and doesn’t have the handles or explosiveness to create his won shot) and lead by example and isn’t a vocal leader either. But you already know that full well and just aren’t mentioning it.

It's quite often the case that the team captain isn't the team's best player. As such, this line of "reasoning" is, IMO, a bit silly.

Sprinkle in some injuries and losses due to COVID outbreaks. Rinse and repeat so Ewing can continue collecting his undeserved salary and bury our program further... Sad, but true. There is like 4 people on HT that this would be true about so using this narrative on almost every thread is silly. Let's talk about Don Carey. Would he start next year if he were back? Don is a talented shooter and would contribute to a majority of Power 6 schools but let's face it he has a lot of weaknesses too and is best used as a role player where he isn't the go to option. He would thrive on a team that has 2-3 scoring options ahead of him and we don't have that with him as a starter this year and we certainly didn't have hardly any talent around him last year. He isn't a guy who is ever going to carry your team the whole year. He will have his games and I would bet he would have more stand out games with talent around him but he isn't like a Markus Howard take over the game regardless of who is on the floor type player. I don't know if I would start him but he definitely would be someone that got his minutes. He is a better shooting less assertive Blair.
