[KAOriginal]

This is a running joke on twitter from a parody account. Tyler kolek isn’t illiterate.

Well. I got suckered.

As Abraham Lincoln said.....you can't believe anything on the Internet.

Yes, thus why it’s a parody account.

 

[hoopsjunkie75]

Yes, but when I look and see a 'verified' check mark by the name, I assume it is a real account. I got duped as well.

Kind of misleading Mr. Musk, wouldn't you say?

It’s all about revenue…execution not so much.

Guard Tyler Kolek (oblique) will miss the final two games (vs. UConn, at Xavier) of the regular season & be re-evaluated prior to the team’s BIG EAST tournament opener on March 14.

We have been screwed 2x thanks to coaching changes.

Hancock and Larranaga
Kolek and Paulsen

So close yet so far.....

I agree with Hancock and coach L, but I'm not sure Kolek would have ever been THIS Kolek under DP.

Switching positions to PG was the key. And having others on team who can score.

Hancock was gone whether L stayed or not. It is documented that he wanted to play for his former coach, Kevin Keatts who became an Assistant at Louisville that same offseason.

Didn't know that. Oh well.
We will always have "the shot."

 

[GMUgemini]

My guess is Kolek would have transferred at some point too, probably after his sophomore season, even if Paulsen had stayed.

Paulsen could not recruit a 4 to save his life and Kolek would have probably gotten stuck having to play with Gadsden or Frazier starting at the 4 and it would have been another disappointing finish despite having Kolek, Miller, and Oduro all on the same team, especially when you consider the other guards were XJ (always nursing injury), Polite (always nursing injury), and Grey (freshman who would have been out of his depth).

PS: welcome to the offseason?

PPS: congrats to Kolek.

I did not see these documents.

Are they in the Fenwick archives?

I feel like I want to do my own version of National Treasure.

Hancock once told me that if L had stayed, he would have stayed. You can choose not to believe him if you want, but I've never seen it "documented" that he would have left anyway.

I remember seeing a tweet where Hancock said he would have stayed if Coach L stayed.

Then why didn’t he go with coach L to Miami?

 

[GMU1983]

He went with his prep school coach Kevin Keats.
