SOLO_Gold Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Word on the street here at Oakland is one of your top players is leaving . Came from our women's team, wasn't going to say anything because I didn't believe it but this sure looks like something is up. Don't jump on me for this, telling u that it was spreading around here because and I have no idea how but someone at ORU told one of our women's players and she told someone who told someone and fifty someone's later I heard it, this is a message board and no one believes any of this stuff anyway Hey Grizz, is this a former women's basketball player?

dchief42 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Im real happy about signing this guy, more so than DJ...just feel we will be real solid at the point guard position in the coming years, lets just hope one of them arent a Darren Jordan/Reggie Guyton...I have a good feeling about Billbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all throwing out rumors here, not sure why his rumor is any less valid than the ones we're making up, plus its not like he called out someone specifically. My question is when will we know, what is the time frame that the rosters have to be set by? Could we go all summer not knowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is when will we know, what is the time frame that the rosters have to be set by? Could we go all summer not knowing? The short answer is yes; the longer one is that it would be hard to keep a major defection under wraps - and I doubt that there is any reason they would want to. They've already created quite a stir with fans with all these signings, and, at least initially, no available scholarships. At this point we know that Hunter and Tim aren't returning, so that gives us two - but who else isn't returning? Someone must not be.

Old Titan Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Made some inquiries regarding the "star transferring" rumor - it's a bunch of hoowie. Could simply be something silly like one of our guys trying to impress a girl (or girls) on the Oakland women's team during the conference tournament with bold talk of taking his skills to a larger stage. Who knows? In many cases like this, we're dealing with oversized children who's idea of contemplating the future ends with which party they plan to attend Saturday night. Suffice it to say that, if every D-1 player who ever threatened to transfer just because he had a bad day ever DID follow through with it, the roster turnover in college basketball would produce enough static electricity to light up Las Vegas.

tmh8286 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Talk by our players on Twitter along the lines of what was posted by Reggie Hamilton at Oakland a few weeks ago is pretty commonplace. "Big decision to make this week" and "I've got to do what's right for me", and so on. I always wonder if they're talking basketball, but it could be about a girlfriend, or a class, or whether to have a burger or a salad for dinner. A rumor could easily get started that way, though. I tend to take EVERYTHING on Twitter with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 OT....look, if I was trying to start something I would have posted it when I heard it. Also I would have said the kids name. I didn't do that and won't do that. You guys said you have 16 guys and so forth so I posted what I had heard and if you read the post I said I don't think it is true. I piut it out therer because this as a message board and if you had heard that about an Oakland player I would want to know it. All of you speculated on what Reggie tweeted, it's no different. Reggie is still here and my guess is your kid will be to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 You can never have too many quality guards - especially those who can run the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie is still here and my guess is your kid will be to I see nothing wrong with Grizz telling us what he heard, it may be true or it may not be, he was just telling us that is what he had heard..to me it would be better to be ready for it instead of it just come out real shockingly, so I appreciate Grizz telling us, just hope it isn't true. With 16 players tho something has to be up haha...it seems like the jenkins brothers may just be coming as walk-ons, that could be why it wasnt reported on the website...it seems like in the past walk-ons weren't reported on the website right off.....does anyone recall what happened when Mikey signed as a walk-on?
