Since Epps is from Norfolk, VA and went to high school at Combine Academy in North Carolina, both Georgetown and NC State would make lots of sense if he wanted to be close to somewhere he was familiar with…
Ya that is what I was thinking.Didn't the staff make Sencire delete his post that he was staying?
Goode also announced he was coming back on the radio!
No need to worry about Ty

Exactly, we will never know unless Epps publicly says something. We have no idea. All these people just speculate it is BU's tough style. Could be he did not like playing the point, not getting enough shots, didn't like to have to guard people straight up and got schooled by older bigger guards, didn't like his teammates. Oh and Epps has not put his name in the portal yet, so as much guess work going on here as in the BU is gone coaching thread.
I would legitimately be shocked and saddened if Ty entered the portal. And I try to keep an even keel about this stuff.
There are always plenty of guys with potential and scoring. They can be easily found in the portal as well.
And yet Goode and Dainja did hmmmm
I want this to be true...
and, I believe you...I really, really do....
but in the current landscape of college basketball, Illinois basketball, can Ty just throw us a bone here? Please?
I wasn't thinking Rodgers was gone it was just the point guys like Rodgers are harder to replace than a guy who might be able to score and put up good numbers
He's on campus and working with Fletch. That tells you all you need to know
Maybe stick in a contingency along the lines of “the more you win, the more you make.”
Georgetown is close to home (Norfolk 3 hour drive, not hard for mom and dad to make it to games), Ed Cooley connection (originally committed to him at Providence). Georgetown obviously hunting for multi-year talent. Makes so much sense for Epps.

I’m not going to weep over the loss of Epps. I was excited about his future here, but I was excited too for Mark Smith and Adam Miller. Neither of those transfers ruined us, and neither will Epps’. If he goes some where and becomes an All American, well, shame on me. But if he had the tantrum that he had this season, there’s no reason to believe that he would suddenly be able to click in the BU system next year. Nothing changes, next season is all about landing solid transfers and can BU make this team consistently function together. Regarding some, like Skyy and Jayden, less will probably end up being more.
Onward with those who are with us.

Epps had a LOT to prove before you put him in the major blow category. Could he put the ball in the basket....the first half of the season, yes. However, he couldn't defend a lamp post. He couldn't stay in front of quick guards and he got pushed all over the place as against physical guards.
He had a good freshman season, not a great one. BU got on his case because he struggled on defense, he didn't make good decisions running the point and he didn't take care of the ball. Turnovers were a HUGE issue this past year. It has to be addressed. He's going to be recruited over by a transfer PG.
He played 25 MPG as a freshman. If that wasn't enough to stick around....see ya.
Looks like level heads have prevailed, despite Sharp Shooter torching the board last week, and too many gullible folks falling for it.
Ramrod makes a sharp and hard-hitting point….
The ignore button is such a great feature.
Good luck. If schools had their way students would still be only getting their scholly and a free meal or two.
The supreme court thought otherwise.
Could we work out an Epps/ Murray trade? Is that a thing yet? Trade offsetting NIL contracts ?
I’d make that pill a bit easier to swallow.
