Eh, so was his chest bump with IDKWTI, but we love him for that.
It's just Chester being Chester and I don't hold a grudge over this. I chuckled.
Before when it was mentioned he wasn’t 6’8 people on here started to rage
implying he was forced out?
Way to move on Chester.
This guy acts like he's God's gift to (assistant) coaching. Lets see how it ends up in a few year.Leaving with table scraps. Realistically both seem like good kids and I wish them the best. They both would’ve had limited roles going forward

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
I can't tell you how glad I am to see a soft every-other-day guy like Sencire Harris hit the bricks.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I’m not that upset about Chester leaving and taking a bunch of guys who couldn’t crack the rotation on our elite 8 team with him…. Honestly, seems like a good dude, but I never loved him as a player, and I wasn’t that excited about him when we hired him. All his guys are kind of one dimensional. They play hard which is great but aren’t very skilled…. Similar to how he was as a player. You don’t win national championships with a team full of guys like that.
Yeah, especially if we indeed have a uber good recruiter coming in officially tomorrow.
Not exactly building a bridge back to his Alma Mater is he…
Hell, Bruce can't hold a candle to Harv.

Lots of what ifs and whys, but once Chet found something at WV he wasn’t getting here, the rest of the moving parts were just dominos that were lined up long time ago. Loyalty to your recruiter seems stronger than loyalty to your previous school(s)
ON3 is reporting Cardet to Providence, so I guess we will see how he does in a Power 5 school. Last year, in the 5 games against Power 5s (NWU, Wisconsin, DePaul, KSU, Ok St,) he shot 32-87 for 36.8%, and 6-23 on 3s for 26%. https://www.on3.com/college/provide...guard-wesley-cardet-jr-commits-to-providence/
Uhhhh, no, not at all. I think it's pretty obvious, at least to me it is, that HC Underwood is willing to spend every dime he has available in NIL funds to bring in the best players he can. AND this means that, like it or not, there's going to be some tough battles for those 200 minutes/game. And Harris and Hansberry are BOTH Frazier guys/recruits..... I don't find it the least bit odd that they are willing to follow him knowing their competition for those 40 minutes will be coming from lesser players.... I don't fault them in the least.
If fact, I actually LOVE that they have followed Coach Frazier instead of going elsewhere. It makes it easier for me and other fans to keep tabs on how they are doing.

Sorry, but I get a faint taste of sour grapes. I object to bad mouthing former players who leave of their own free will. The coaching staff saw something in them that made it worth signing them instead of other available high schoolers.
It’s like degrading the girl you once adored after she decided she found someone better.
They are pros in every sense of the word except they are required to attend classes.
I was kinda expecting him to go Ivy league or to like Stanford if he left.
IU would be pretty sad but he's from Indy so it wouldn't necessarily be surprising.
Just referring to Chester posting that particular clip, saying he's taking something with him...I dont think it's odd that two players would follow the coach who was their primary recruiter when it looks like they are being recruiter over or are not going to step into the minutes they thought they were going to.
It's no more sour grapes than what Chester is doing on twitter currently.
Lets not do this.
