Well damn… 😕
To me, as a freshman, Kennard Davis was the closest thing at SIU to Darren Brooks since.... Darren Brooks. This one is gonna suck.
Next years roster is going to be interesting.
Should we blame or praise Marvin Miller, Curt Flood, and Andy Messersmith for this new type of free agency. S h I t wrong sport.
dont be surprise that if and where mullins lands that some of these players will follow him to that destination.
I wouldn’t they are leaving so they can have the best chance to win is my guess
enough man if you want to be a douchebag do it elsewhere. Bryan has been let go and dancing on the grave is not going to be allowed
only meant that they wouldn’t blindly follow them they are going wherever their best chances are like every other player
Davis had potential, didn't see him as the future star some saw. But thought he'd develop into a good #2 on a solid team. Wish him the best and like said earlier, none of these guys are gone for sure. New coach will try to re-recruit the ones he wants back

don’t worry! Ol’ Dunkledog had self-reflection (which required a post) and he’ll only be a douchebag on Monday-Friday

got me
Buckle up. We have a lot more of these to go.
Best of luck to Kennard. He’s going to be one hell of a player. Wish it was with the Salukis but it is what it is. Can’t blame him.
Can't blame him? Someone should tell these guys what can happen when you transfer as far as credits not transferring or courses not being recognized....assuming that they want that college degree someday. It Can set you back.
I think a player is short-sighted for not waiting to see the new coaching situation, unless of course they were not happy here or they have been poached by a school offering more money, etc.
Davis specifically mentions the coach. D'Amico could have been out the door anyway.

All credits from general freshman year classes at SIU are going to transfer lol c'mon

I think he was mature and a tough defender. Didn't see him as a future offensive star.

absolutely not true - all depends on the school and the course
There will be more portal hits this weekend and when the portal opens on Monday. Guys aren’t for sure gone, Mullins kept Cook, McGill, and Lance Jones from Hinson.
Not saying I have contender expectations next year but you never know with the portal. It’s much easier to fix your program quickly when the portal exists in its current state as much as it sucks when it goes the other way.
Mullins navigation of the portal this past season was probably his undoing.
He replaced 2 Big Ten starters with 4 guys who have no business being on an MVC roster.
It was disasterous.
I believe we all knew this was going to transpire. Well before the portal/NIL players would leave when a coaching replacement took place. They would occasionally follow said coach to his next destination due to loyalty. Not certain that is the case anymore.
No inside information, but I believe Leonard has had his short list since the 2023-24 season began. I'm assuming he knew that he was going to receive some harsh words and second guessing via social media, sports media, and the like.
Lastly, I would be in total dismay if he did not know that the player flood gates would open after the Coach Mullins announcement. I would gander that he has his timeline prepared, and has for quite sometime. IMO, any intelligent AD would.
must be back off the medsdont be surprise that if and where mullins lands that some of these players will follow him to that destination.
