players leaving under capel

Alexander, Turner, Foust, Lavender and McKinzie were all starters at one point. And they all left in a short span of time.

Nick doesn't know what he's talking about on this point, although he did at least specify the first five years of Sampson's tenure. Tyrone Foster was a starter, so was Ryan Humphrey. Alex Spaulding started over 20 games his sophomore year, Bobby Joe Evans started about half his games. All those guys had a lot more impact than guys like Kyle Cannon or Chris Early.
 
Blake Griffin also left early. Willie is probably going to the NBA, so I would not put him on the list.

If you don't count the 2 or 3 games he had late his sophomore year. Alex Spaulding averaged something like 2 points per game his Sophomore year when he started 20 something games. I don't know if that's much of an impact. He did show up that post season though. I'll give that some of those impacted more than Cannon and Early. Outside of Humphrey and JR Raymond who were comparable to TMG, WW, Gallon etc but the rest under Sampson really weren't early on. He didn't start losing big time guys till the later years.
 
You mean to tell me that Kelvin's lunch pail players left too? Say it isn't so!

The difference is, Sampson was able to find replacements and make post-season play the next season. Capel has not been able to do that in 2 of his years.
 
Taylor Griffin was probably going to leave if Sampson stayed.
 
those three issues
4) willis getting stabbed
5) gallon taking money
6) tmg not coming back for x-mas
7) fitz stealing
8) pledg stealing

I know some of these kids are good kids and just had issues because they are immature....but the issues under capels helm are starting to add up...alongside kids leaving....
sure doesnt seem like he is stepping in and giving any type of leadership

Players need to respect and FEAR their coach. A player needs to know that screw ups off the court will result in pain that they won't want to relive.

Taking plays off on the court will result in the same.
 
This is an issue that has to be addressed...we cannot have this happen anymore....look at this

Keith clark
Bobby maze

Tony neysmith
Dau jok

Possible losses this year:
Tmg
Willis
Gallon
allen


4 players gone, possible 4 this year....thats 8 players in 4 years....thats TERRIBLE...do these kids not like capel at all?? Or is he just lying to themwhen he recruits them telling them they will start or play a certain role and they get to campus and thats not the case??

Tony Neysmith and Dau Jok were tough losses. They are averaging a combined 1.0 ppg this season.
 
If any of you knew how many times (can you say "infinite-do you know what it means?)this was brought up during Sampson's tenure then you would not even think it.
