Shepherd Will transfer

Addition by subtraction in more ways than 1. Besides the fact that he was one of the worst guards in the conference he apparently had a bad attitude, too. Good riddance!

I don’t think Shep had a bad attitude—meaning he was not known to be a trouble maker. He was just unhappy with his playing time and the fact that TY was being put on a pedestal no one else had access to. I’m told Shepherd wasn’t alone in those thoughts.

If you are unhappy with your playing time and are jealous of other players on your own team, you have a bad attitude.

Call it what you want! Shepherd and the other players who felt the way he did should not have been put in that position in the first place. Lon screwed up! End of story!

I think that's a little black-and-white. I don't know the circumstances so I'm not going to pick sides. But it could be fair to be frustrated if you think 1 player is getting away with things that others can't get away with. It's possible --and again, I'm not privy to any inside info so I'm absolutely not passing judgment here -- that Kruger made some star treatment promises to get Trae to come to OU that he might, in private, now admit were mistakes because of the double-standard it set for the other players.

Unless you have a lot more information than I do or most of us do, I don't think you can fairly say that Trae's teammates had bad attitudes because of how Trae was treated in comparison to the others.

What I think most of us can agree with is that it ended up being a bad mix that's probably in some ways nobody's fault and in some ways everyone's fault. It was a just a bad mix that could have worked out spectacularly but didn't. I doubt that any 1 or 2 people deserve all the blame entirely.

Treated in what sense? If Trae was doing things wrong off the court and not being punished, that's one thing. But if we're talking about the way things on the court are treated, that's just jealousy.
 
Critical that the coaches land a few playmakers, especially if they continue with current offense.

This is why I'm excited about Bienemy in the future, he's a playmaker that's not a point. Hard to have 1 guy create for everybody. I thought Odomes would be that guy and looked the part last year.
 
I wish Shepherd well. Hard to be far from home to be a sub. Regional guys usually the better choice for career bench players.
 
Sky- Shepherd just tweeted this.

What an experience.. I have been truly blessed to able to be around such a great campus and even better people. But with that being said... my family and I have decided that it best for me to transfer schools. Thank you. ❤️#BoomerSooner
 
Yep. Shep did a nice job for us. I wish him well.

Go back and read Sky's post, he wasn't responding to you Coach, he was responding to someone alleging that Trae got special treatment.
