MVC players moving on

I think Bradley will return three scholarship players off the current team. Of course, when you finish last does it matter?

SIU and Bradley could combine current rosters and still finish last.

Will they be able to fill a roster with the two of them combined?

Dave Reynolds now confirming 4 more names: Sutherland, Wells, Amerson, Morgan.

With Cunningham and Thomas, we're up to 6 today.

There may be nothing wrong with the guys he recruited. I just don't like coaches recruiting while on salary at one school, using their resources, and then taking the recruits with them when they change jobs.

Ultimately it's up to the players, as it should be. The situation they committed to has changed in a significant way and they should have the opportunity to reevaluate. They're not chattel.

Wardle had one of his Horizon players get drafted last year, and another one might get drafted this year and just won honorable mention AA honors. Not to mention Butler made a couple Final Fours with Horizon players. If Wardle believes any player he recruited at GB could help us I'm all for it. God knows some Horizon players could have helped the 14-15 Braves.

I absolutely agree that players should have the opportunity to reevaluate. I believe the school should let them out of their commitment. I do not think the departing coach should poach them.

I don't think it would happen that way if it does. I think all of the GB recruits will remain committed to GB if Brian Barone gets the job. If not then the entire staff that recruited you is gone. I would be shocked if guys DIDN'T get out of their LOI's if that were the case, regardless of the school.

Agreed. But I think they can get out of their LOI and go to the new school where that coach is and it not be poaching.

The players should be allowed to look elsewhere if they desire. The coach should encourage them to stay. If the players specifically request to follow the coach, they should be allowed to. The coach should not work to bring them with him.

A coach that goes out of his way to bring his recruits with him, IMO, lacks character.

You said 'Agreed' and then completely disagreed with everything I said, ha!

This is one of those points that I feel pretty strongly about, but I also completely understand how/why other people feel differently and it doesn't bother me much.
