I haven't seen this mentioned here. Sam Maniscalco was on the Tay & J show last week. He said that Nunn's departure is "addition by subtraction" and that it will help with the comradery and cohesiveness of the team. Does SM know something we don't or was he just prattling on?

Was his name Sam Maniscalco?

Sure... just like Ray Rice's departure.

I don't remember anything public about Rice messing up team unity. It was all message board chatter that started because we had a good record with Rice injured.
I agree with others. SM wouldn't say those thinks publicly without substance.
I know quite a few players thought very highly of Nunn as a teammate. It did not obviously make him a model citizen off the court, but he was popular with his teammates.
You will not find much as far as teammates having a problem with Nunn or disrupting team unity in his 3 years here. Not even in message boards. Again, he was a popular teammate, but had his faults as a person.
Grass is always greener on the other side... fans were brutal on Rice (i.e., was a cancer in the clubhouse) whereas Nunn/Hill had good chemistry between them (hmm... what happened to that?) and could not wait for him to be gone. His departure, ended up... subtraction by subtraction.
I remember people were saying "addition by subtraction" for many players. TJ Wheeler (had his off court incidents), Sergio, Pruitt, McCamey, Rice, etc. At the end, their departure was definitely not "addition by subtraction" even when we did get better.

BW was the biggest additative subtractification after that season, not SamMan.I thought the same thing after Sam left.
I don't think SM would be just saying those things in the public if there wasn't some truth to it, IMO.

I don't think SM should be saying those things period, serves no positive purpose.

I agree, albeit from a guy that played 1 year @ UI and was a pretty poor performer for a 9th place B1G team.
If it were a well-known 4-year Illini, I might be willing to give some slack on commenting on the current team. A 5th-year transfer, though? Agree that it was rather unprofessional for SM to speak up like this publicly.I agree. Even if it's 100% true, no reason to say that stuff publicly.

Comes across as sour grapes and whining.
