OK, that makes sense....my first thought when I heard "Panthers" was Greenville College. 30 minutes from Edwardsville and they like to run and gun trying to win with high scoring. They love jacking up NBA 3's while playing minimal defense.
Greenville Panthers have the same kind of the style as Vytautus in Lithuania.....Lavar would approve!
Can't forget about Trice.:thumb:
I hope you're joking. It'd be bad to lose DaMonte.
As long as we don't block, should not affect anyone we're recruiting.
Liddell likely not coming here anyways.
You didn't give Ayo a scholarship

What really hurts isn't just that Liddell isn't coming here. It's that he's probably going to Mizzou.

Right. We should collectively hope that his recruitment jumps up a weight class.
I'm almost positive this isn't true.
Ayo still might be part of the best back court in the country, thanks Trent 
Werner made it sound like on his radio show this morning that the Leron rumors are very real. Said its still speculation and not guaranteed but is very possible.

Well, that would suck.
We can replace Mark Smith. Heck, I'd argue that Tevian Jones would be an immediate upgrade at the 2/3 position.
But we are not going to replace Black very easily. Even if we somehow got a Josh Cunningham or Trice, losing Black would suck very, very much.

Luther is paying for him.
Well played, sir!:thumb:

Anything there on the potential of getting Jordan Caroline or Cunningham as a transfer? If we did happen to lose Leron at least getting one of the those guys would help soften the blow and provide a stopgap for next year (longer if Cunningham).

You typically don't hear much on transfers, beyond occasional rumors, even if there has been backchanneling until after a player's season is done. So I'd look out for news in the week after Dayton loses in the A10 tourney and Nevada loses in the NCAAs.
Hopefully Ayo and Trent can play 1 through 5 and also 2on5.

I don't know about you, but I'm hearing that this Larry Bird guy was thinking about transferring to Illinois until he realized that Underwood was looking for somebody a bit more athletic.
Pointed out...Ayo with one and no carry over unless no 5th year or Ramey
If he transfers after UI hung with him through his legal issues, he's on my naughty list forever. If he wants to play professionally, God bless him.
That’s a little harsh. Leron has been a good soldier, played hard and obviously the University stuck with him through a tough time. I think his debt has been repaid and I would wish him well no matter what his decision. The sooner we all realize that the record next year isn’t going to change significantly the better. It’s about building the talent base and instilling a culture. Adding Frazier and I would argue Spicy G (like what I’ve seen) is a start. Not as big of a start as we were hoping for 6 months ago but a start. If Leron wants to go and try to make the NCAA tournament somewhere god bless him. Let’s see what ends up happening with the rest of this recruiting cycle before we get too dramatic.
