Subject: That was my point before... Good unbiased advice is hard to come by...
Posted by: Hoops4ever on Thu May 8 2008 9:07:36 AM
Message:

I can understand Patton and other coaches wanting Jeremy to
transfer. He is super talented, NBA athleticism, unselfish,
shooter, etc...

But as a fan who is interested in seeing this program move forward
(unlike Bisonic/Sweller) I believe they are truly not looking out
for HIS best long term or short term interests.
See note to Jeremy:

Jeremy,
As a huge fan I want to share a couple of thoughts... First,
whomever (if anyone besides other coaches with alterior motives) is
giving you advice to transfer or leave CU, I TRULY BELIEVE that they
are not looking out for your best interests.

You can be one of the pillars of the new basketball foundation of
the CU basketball program and help turn it into a Big 12 powerhouse.
You have paid the price (sitting all last year) and are in position
to take advantage of all your hard work and patience in the best
basketball conference in the country! There are vary few players in
the entire world that could even imagine being in the position that
you are in - please don't throw that away.

I can understand all the other opportunities and alternatives that
you have in front of you that may look good but they are all unknown
(and I'm sure your family wants you close cause you are a great
person and are loved). BUT, who knows what God's plan has in store
for you and where it will lead you. Consider that you have worked
hard to earn your position, you have bought the ticket, you have
paid the price now jump on the CU hoops airline and let's see where
the ride will take you!

We are cheering for you whatever your decision but don't change your
flight!

Signed,
Fan of a program that is just taking off

              Not really - it's the cumulative effect that's on Bzdelik.  --  Bisonic   Fri May 9 2008 11:09:53 AM
          Williams is an excellent player with a huge upside.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 10:53:17 AM
              Why do you always make stuff up? I haven't seen one post on here that questioned  --  BuffaloMoe   Thu May 8 2008 12:00:32 PM
                  Not necessarily ability. The rips on Patton's recruits are everywhere.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 1:29:00 PM
                      That's an interesting link to a Sweller thread  --  84Buff   Thu May 8 2008 4:15:39 PM
                      Didn't question his ability at all. He stated a fact. Don't let facts get in   --  BuffaloMoe   Thu May 8 2008 1:46:19 PM
                          So Moe, was Patton a good recruiter?  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 1:55:28 PM
                              Why do you always have to bring up Patton? He's gone man get over it. **  --  BuffaloMoe   Thu May 8 2008 7:21:18 PM
                              He was a terrible BB coach and lousy at PR. Isn't that enough reason to dislike   --  BuffaloMoe   Thu May 8 2008 7:14:09 PM
                                  Nope. It's a reason to want another coach, not to run the man down.  --  Bisonic   Fri May 9 2008 12:19:36 PM

                                  Impressive, but you answered the wrong question. 4 times.   --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 4:04:28 PM
                                      You asked "What was your real dislike for Patton based on?"  --  Louisville Buff   Thu May 8 2008 4:25:31 PM
                                          Well I was directing it at Moe.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 4:50:11 PM
                                      Maybe you asked the wrong question.  --  84Buff   Thu May 8 2008 4:10:41 PM
                                          Selective memory.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 4:18:54 PM
                                              "Decline to seek an extension." That's the same as quitting? Wow.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 4:55:36 PM

                                                      You think he was burned out? I agree with that.  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 6:29:48 PM
                                              He quit  --  84Buff   Thu May 8 2008 4:32:35 PM
                              Reason 3: CU was getting beat by 40 pts by teams like Air Force, New Mexico,etc. **  --  Louisville Buff   Thu May 8 2008 2:59:09 PM

                      Re: He really should stay here....  --  LW33   Thu May 8 2008 12:01:44 PM
                          Agree - if he ends up at a higher profile program ...  --  Bisonic   Thu May 8 2008 1:57:58 PM
