As I said I'm not Reggie, but if it were me I'd honor my coach/bestfriend by competing as a Redbird & not abandoning the program & my teammates.

Illinois State (and tons and tons and tons of schools across the country) invest a 4-year scholarship in these guys just to watch them bolt for a "better" school. Unfortunate.
How many of those invested 4-year scholarship had Muller pulled from his players the past 3 years? Cause it seems like a lot.
I didn't see this coming. I think it sucks for ISUr. I hope they overcome and Lynch never sniffs the postseason at Minny while ISUr makes the tourney. But let's not pretend that ISUr and its coach make promises that the student-athletes don't.

I really thought Lynch was going to develop into something special. He was already very good on the defensive end despite his propensity for fouling. But I thought he was making strides on the offensive end too.
