John Brannen named UC head basketball Coach.

Doesn’t help that temple and st joes are going to have 2 new head coaches this year that he could know from playing in philly in his youth I’m not sure he can play for temple with the ncaa rules going to another school in your conference, but he could play for st. Joes if he wanted to stay close to home.

You need to take a step back and realize you have absolutely no way of knowing what "the best place" for him or any other player is. Good gravy, how could you possibly pretend to know what's best for someone you've never met, who means nothing to you beyond his ability to win or lose basketball games for your favorite team? It is condescending as hell.

Nysier Brooks is an adult and has full agency. He will do whatever it is he feels is best, just like you would. His family and friends will advise him and he will listen, or not, to the extent that he wishes. If he makes a decision about his own life that you do not personally agree with, I would suggest you consider how it would feel to you if some stranger who saw you as a tool to advance their own happiness believed they were better qualified than you were to decide your path.

If he's got personal issues outside of basketball or issues with his teammates then he's gotta do what he's gotta do.

But if we are strictly talking about basketball and winning potential and playing time, which are usually the 2 big issues when it comes to basketball, UC is the best place for him or any potential big man grad transfer that can't go to one of the top programs.

Whatever he decides to do it should be a well thought out decision, not an emotional one made out of hurt feelings.

Most kids wouldn't go to college if parents didn't tell them or pay for it. Unless you was poor from horrible childhoods, parents was more involved than the kids. Also handlers have spent thousands on their kids careers. We haven't spent one dime. We get have opinions but the people who have paved way need shut up?
