Good for admon. I think that was the best spot for him in terms of showcasing and developing his skills.

Yes. Our prayers to see Admon in Reed Arena this year have been answered.

Really sorry to see Admon go. I got a great post-game picture of him w/ my grandson. Very gracious guy.

I wish him the best.

I wonder if loyalty to BK enters into any of these decisions for current players and recruits who have backed out.

Players commit to a coach, not a school, so for recruits it definitely does.

For Gilder, it's probably smarter for him to go to a better team in his last year to play.

And so much for the "he wanted to be closer to home rumors". Gonzaga is about as far as you can get from Dallas.

Was that ever an actual rumor? It's hard to get closer to Dallas than A&M and still be at a high major, unless you go to TCU and they weren't really in the conversation.

I love when people say that players commit to a coach and not a school. Sure, that's the case with some, but there are just as many who love the school and want to go there. Not sure how that false perspective got so popular.

We had 4 guys decommit when we fired Kennedy.

Maybe we were unlucky and found the 4 kids in 2019 who committed to the coach and not the school... Or maybe it's not a false perspective

So you think Buzz wanted all those kids and couldn't keep them?

I don't know what Buzz thought of each individual player

Good use of stats to prove your point. Specifically "some" and "just as many".

It's common sense. If facts and stats are important to you, go ahead and share some some examples and percentages of student athletes who are quoted saying "I am transferring because the coach left". I'll wait.

Good for Admon but I am totally heartbroken he won't be playing his last season in Reed.

After I spent 4 years at A&M, I went to a different school. Now I have 2 degrees and a network from both places. Why should it be different for basketball players?

It's on you, not me to provide facts backing up the BS that you spout. You claim something widely believed is a false narrative but offer nothing. Kinda seems like you made it up.

early in Admon's 2nd season I made a comment somewhere on here comparing him to a high profile transfer Gonzaga was getting from UW Nigel Williams-Goss who had a very similar frame and playing style which at the time was more developed offensively, saying Admon could eventually evolve into that type of impact player.
Goss went on to have an All American season leading the Zags the NC game within a bucket of winning it all, then drafted 2nd rd.

Looks like he played in Europe last year and just signed a 3-yr deal with Olympiacos.

Except his last season.... just kidding. I think he is a great player/kid and hope he has a great Sr year for the zags. Just wish it had been for us.

Glad to see the men's board much better than the women's board was when Williams and Howard left

So much for once an Ag always an Ag...which I've never felt was true. Nor do I feel this comment is true.

I'm at least glad to hear it wasn't an "anywhere but A&M situation" and a chance for big things for him.

I think I might need a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring or a Navajo chief to interpret this post.

Admon will always be an Aggie. He has a degree from A&M and an Aggie ring.

He earned the graduate standing that is required for a no-sit transfer. We could do a lot worse than transfers like Anriel Howard, Danni Williams, and Admon Gilder graduating from our school. They all three represented us well.

What are you talking about? Lots of people graduate from A&M and then go to a different school later

How much will he actually play at Gonzaga?

I don't know anything about their returning starters.
