An idiot that I didn't know existed. Don't give this thing an audience or the attention it desperately craves. Probably a closet Milwaukee fan trying to give the school a bad name The super fan handle did have some friendly comments for Cade. It seems that the handle has a no filter, speaking their own truth approach. I probably wouldn't advise talking smack on the way out the door but that's just me.

I can't pretend to know what the conversation was like and what is in everyone's mind. The competitive side of me would like to see guys take this feedback with an attitude of I will kick butt and show you what is up. The safe adult in me says that seems like a risk. The guys that chooses to be a competitor in this situation may just surprise themselves with the results. Either way, it doesn't change that D Short seems like a great guy and I will happily follow his career and enjoy any success he has.

Guys, this was Wicks' plan all along. From what I can gather, his style is nothing like Ryan's. And in this day and age, you can make over rosters really quickly. And as much as some of these players tried hard and represented the University well, they were also part of a very bad basketball team. I honestly believe he knew he was only going to keep a couple of them and bring in a whole entire new team.

Spot on GBguy. These guys won 3 games, Sunny D isnt going to magically turn a 3 win team into a 20 win team with the same exact players. He also does play a more high tempo style. He was part of really increasing Wyomings ppg a few years back. Everyone needs to trust in Sundance here.

I honestly love this. You want to be here? Then prove it. You are buying into Wicks' narrative here. He was telling Short he didn't want him here without actually telling him that. And now Wicks isn't the bad guy! Short was smart to enter the portal and move on. Good luck to him.

I hope nothing but the best for Short but he was challenged and decided to take another path.
End of story
Now time to fill the roster with dudes who are going to get this thing back on track.

He was challenged and decided to take another path because he was smart enough to realize the "challenge" was bullsh*t. But yes you are correct. Time to upgrade the roster start winning.

Does anyone know if all the existing player interviews have concluded? Other the Clarence, is there any indication that Wicks welcomed anyone else back without a D Short type Prove It convo?

I do not know for sure. However, i heard they met on zoom last week when the school was on spring break and then the plan was to meet with them in person this week when they returned to campus. Being it is Friday I would assume that they have all concluded. I do have a feeling Brock might be a guy Sunny would want to keep. Seems like that high energy brock brings would be something sunny would like

The big question is the rest zane,Ryan,amari,Brayden,cal,Marcus,mac? We will find out by the end of the transfer portal period ending may 14th. I hope your right about Brock. He does bring high energy. He brings 100% energy practice or games. The “juice”

He was challenged and decided to take another path because he was smart enough to realize the "challenge" was bullsh*t. I'd like to know the nuances of the conversation a little more before I cast my judgement. On the surface, I am tempted to agree that the "challenge" is indeed bullshit and that it is a tough love thing to see if DShort wanted to be here. Not sure I like that approach in dealing with kids. Perhaps Dayman (fighter of the night man) has someone already in mind to bring in to replace Short, which could be why he was quick to whisk him away. I just hope Sunny treats all the kids with respect, whether they're "his" or not.

I just hope Sunny treats all the kids with respect, whether they're "his" or not. I suspect Wicks wants foxhole guys and by issuing the challenge early he got his answer. Both can move on. Not to beat up on the kid but if he couldn't get more than a handful of minutes on this team then I'm not sure there was a future for him here anyway. Not sure what Venci will be doing for stories now that his main contact in Short is gone.
