Speaking of hungering for news: Does anyone know why Qudus left?? The decision was made in late December before the Hoyas went on their run. He wanted to stay once he experiencedthe winning culture and BET championship but it was too late by that point. Why was it too late in March?
Why did he want to leave in late Dec.?

Ball was set in motion. Could not be undone.

The decision by his camp to look elsewhere happened way before the BE Tournament. Once the feelers went out, there was no turning back. Bridge burnt. 🔥

He's gone and I wish him well, but this is confusing. Seems that even during the BE tournament run Ewing was pitching Wahab to return through his praise and his assurance of the player he would become if he stayed. So I am not certain what bridge was burned or with whom. Is it with his teammates or the coaches?

Hopefully our combination of players at our center position will be even better than if Wahab had stayed.
We have talent this season. Let's hope that Ewing molds a united, aggressive team and we exceed expectations.....finally!
And please, Ewing and basketball office - share info about our program. We get next to nothing!

That was great to hear. What could have been, but he is right, he had no idea Chuck was going to be here. It also gives us an idea what these guys consider in making their decisions. He was trying to win a championship and he was going to be a piece of that end. There are a lot of recruits that think the same thing, we have been far from championships for a while, but this class could change that. Finish in the season in the top 1/3, decent showing in the BET and NCAA, who knows

It is so worth $100 to bet the Hoyas…

I agree with that. I think the Hoyas could be really good.
1) no longer structurally flawed having to play a classic big man
2) several newcomers have IMMENSE upside potential.
3) positive conference momentum with BE Championship
4) a point guard is in place with the heart of a lion.

I am so frustrated that we receive no news, I mean zero, from our basketball office and coaches.

That's what I would love to see, he even mentions how the new S&C has helped Freemantle improve...

It was a big blow.
