...another huge wasted talent. Osby had all the potential in the world.

Bad timing by Byrne. We need a basketball shakeup big time.

is why in the hell didn't we let Stans go to Clemson? We could have let him go, hired a new, energetic, offensive-minded coach, lost 5 out of our top 6 players, lost our 2 biggest recruits in '11, and be in a better situation for the future. What were we worried ab if Stans left? Transfers and losing recruits in '11. Well, looks like that happened anyway.

The 6-foot-8, 230-pound Osby, a sophomore last season, averaged 4.3
points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.1 minutes of playing time per game this
past season. He started three times.
Holy ****! You just can't replace that kind of production! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy averages 0.33 points per minute and 0.2 rebounds per minute last season, decides to leave and all the douchebags are crawling out of the woodwork to bemoan our fate.

Newsflash: Remember this past season when everyone kept complaining about how untalented we were? Yeah, Osby couldn't beat those guys out.

This isn't a Hansbrough, Delk, or Ervin situation -- he wasn't a starter and is looking for more playing time. Doesn't look like he's going to get it here so it's time to look elsewhere.

Are you really this big of a toolshed, or you just trying to be a cool Anti-Coach34?

Yea, it doesn't hurt to keep losing juniors and replacing them with freshmens very late in the recruiting game. Noooooooo problem at all.

Osby wasinconsistent as shitlast season, but he was still an impact player. And hewould have had a TON more responsibility as both a scorer andteam leader these last 2 seasons.

I would lose count at 1,459,362 players in the last few decades that went from moderate production in their first 2 seasons to breaking out and being amajor impact player and/or leader in their final 2 seasons.

You must have watched HS Osby or AAU Osby instead of College Ball Osby. Osby was a two star player with a four star rating. The reason he didn't sniff the floor wasn't Stansbury's fault.

In spite of inconsistent playing time, he played fairly well and was our 2nd best 3pt shooter percentage-wise....Stansbury's ridiculous sub patterns tend to screw the players up more than most of you know...

almost ALL of our players are unhappy...we constantly have starters transferring...how can Stansbury not possibly be at fault?

Lord Stansbury buries guys on the bench while playing 6 deep 38 minutes each, but they are a bust because they can't crack the hockey lineup.

You don't think Osby would have improved with consistent playing time as a junior? Unfortunately, we'll never know because our IDIOT coach runs all his players off before they can ever contribute meaningfully.

Didn't someone post the transfer rate of SEC basketball schools on here a while back? Didn't it show that MSU was in the middle of the pack with the number of basketball transfers? I know, it's factual. So, it might have gone unnoticed in your world C34.

in transfers that start or get significant minutes. We were tied with Georgia at 5th in overall transfers.

That makes 9 players for the "Recruiter" to transfer and UK has had two coaching changes during that period. There is a definite pattern here.
