What a great day. Super refreshing.

Who knows what is to come, but today was impressive.

Well apparently Nysier Brooks is out....

His guardian posted this- doesn’t make a lot of sense considering he’s not a grad transfer and would have to sit a year but if this is true, it is what it is , next man in.

“Thank you all for the comments! We made the decision to send Nysier to U of C as a family and the decision to leave as a family also. The decision to go to U of C was based upon Coach Cronin and Coach Savino, not Coach Brannen. WE HAVE NOT HEARD from the new coach yet!!”

sounds like an emotional decision, not a well thought out one.

He’s been the coach for a damn day. He gets hired, meets the team, press conference early, tour of the arena, and interviews. The man can only do so much.

Unless he goes to UCLA (which I don’t think he’s better than 5 star Moses Brown at UCLA) he will have a different coach. I don't understand why he would rather have a different coach and none of his teammates instead of a different coach but surrounded by his teammates. Especially his senior year. It doesn’t make any sense and seems childish for the foster mom to come out and say it that way.

Could change mind.

Probably because he gets to pick the coach as opposed to the coach being picked for him.

I get him wanting to leave. Hopefully he just lets Brannen have a chance to sell him on staying because we need him badly.

If he is on track to and he graduates in the summer he would qualify as a grad transfer.

Weird. That would be one of the strangest casualties of this whole thing. Especially if grad transfer is not an option. If it’s not then he is costing himself a year to play professionally?? I don’t get this at all.
