The main thing we lost with Q is a guy who wasn't afraid to shoot and gave us a scoring punch in a few games that helped. He wasn't very good on the D end and he was streaky on offense. Hopefully Diarra can add a little bit of the scoring back in especially a 3 ball here or there. Overall the loss of Q could be addition by subtraction since it gives the younger guys more time on the floor to learn. Even if we redshirt 1 guy we will still have more depth than last year. There won't be many times we will use a 5th big in games that count let alone 6...since we can also use the small ball option. Playing Williams or Moore could be a better option than using our 5th or 6th big. I do hope Quad finds a good landing spot for himself. I also hope the young kids use this opportunity to work their butts off to get in the games. |

I hope that Bragg did not make his decision when he did based on the full roster when he was looking to transfer. For that reason, don't like the timing of this.

The Bragg situation was very complicated, and if UC wanted to fully pursue roster space would have been figured out. There's a reason Arizona State was his only viable option...

It had to be complicated if eggs was not able to find a way to take him. I was just using Bragg as an Example, now UC is virtually unable to use that scholly this year due to the timing

Not always a bad thing though. It now gives us a little more flexibility for 2018-2019.

It's not like UC just decided to punt on the day school started. It isn't an ideal spot, but they still have 6 bigs and are 3 deep at the 4 and 5. Even if one redshirts they have plenty of bodies to work with...

I understand nothing happened, just would have been interesting had it happened earlier to see if they could have added something for this year or next

We put up with a lot of growing pains with Quadri. I thought he showed some growth last year and was actually looking forward to him being here as a senior. I know he wasn't a popular player here, but I'm sad to see him go. I thought we might finally get a decent season out of him.
