Wow, saying that before the game is...something. Not surprising how things turned out.

Mayer couldn't come back if he wanted too.
And where in the Wide, Wide, World of F**kin World of Sports did THIS come from Capt. Insider?

In a vacuum, there is ZERO reason for Epps and Dain to leave.
The fact that it is more likely than not we lose both speaks volumes.

About them, us or both?
So what is going on here?
A post above by someone that "knows" what's going on in the locker room . . .

This is crazy to me. Dain is a surprise. Would like to keep Epps, but don’t know what the friction is between him and Brad that has been alluded to.

Bad showing for NBA teams? Is this some weird joke implying they're all planning on going to the League?
I feel like the NBA piece is only applicable to TSJ and Hawkins
This is not all true. Conversations are going to be had, but no one is for sure gone yet.
I used to play tennis with Miles Schneer, Deon did not get a new Blazer.Well didn't Miles Chevrolet in Decatur give Deon a new Blazer.. Ask Bruce Pearl he probably has a copy of the recording still. Heard a few more guys got payment free loans on new cars without credit checks.
2 different teams had been given the heads up about Dain going into this game. Can Brad convince them to stay? Not saying it's impossible but doesn't help the team dynamic that's for sure. Epps has been on red alert from his teammates and coaches since he refused to go back in the northwestern game. This team's been a dumpster fire since Mayer punched Skyy.
I don’t know if it was this particular team or the free agency nature of it all, but I am less interested in college basketball than ever before. I guess it always was free agency, but I feel like I don’t know the players anymore.
What a whiny, crybaby post. Remember what you said keyboard warrior, it’s for entertainment. No reason for you to get your feathers ruffled and throw insults at people. Practice what you preach or get off your damn high horse Italy almighty.
When I hear this from 0440, L'Ville or Indy I'll react, until then I have no reason to take this as fact.
Why would they say that before a game?
No insult flung, just questioning the unheard of wild@ss allegation that some key pieces are transferring out.
Since you seem to be the defender of the unknowing, do you have bonafide info to share? As @FAR Penthouse points out, it's pretty much "innernet" horse manure unless it comes from one of those who have proven themselves to be purveyors of reliable insider info. The OP was just flinging horse$hit into the forum to see what he or she could rile up.

Sharpshot doesn’t post often, but when he does, I listen. He has been right on many occasions with his info, FAR. Check his posts. You must have missed them.
If half of what Sharpshot posted is true, next year will be a real challenge. I would imagine that our NIL is competitive with most top P5 schools, so is it a coaching relationship problem. I guess we will see how this plays out in the next 30 days.
Holy cow! That's way more definitive than the other insiders have said. If that's the case, next season is gonna be a rebuilding year. I hope the staff takes the opportunity to build a roster that's more future-proof than this one (if that's possible in the NIL era).

So what happened with Epps from the Wisconsin game late January until now. He was bought in to the culture and school?
