Devin Butts

Man, with this logic the coach sucks because 3 people hit the portal, Duke’s coach must be horrid being 4 so far are in the portal.

Point is most players are chasing their egos thinking of the next level. Like someone stated stepping into a greener pasture doesn’t mean you’re stepping into grass.

Having personally witness multiple times families, parents, baby mommas and girlfriends tell our players in football and basketball how great they are and they’re too good for here, nothing surprises me. The saddest, I won’t name the football player, but his mom and mother of his child was yelling at him to go DEMAND Hud put him in. He was gassed. Dude looked so heartbroken, it obviously wasn’t fun anymore...it was a mission, but not his.

Coach sucks because once again, he is running off Butts and Spenkuch because they can't play. They aren't good enough. Wilson wants to compete for a spot in the NCAA tournament, something he was promised when recruited but once again, Marlin cannot put a roster around anyone capable of even competing in the upper tier of our own conference.

Butts can play, if he is being "chased off" that would probably be due to the issues that led to his suspension last year. Spenkuch may have been advised to move on or just realized that on his own. As a Scholarship guy when you only play in 5 games and don't score a point you know its not working. Wilson has shown he has the talent to start or be a 6th man in an SEC or Big 12 type setting.

The transfer portal is a huge game of musical chairs that almost every D-1 program is involved in this year. I will wait and pass judgement until after the music stops. SO far I think Wilson leaving and Greg Williams coming in is close to a wash. We will have to wait and see what happens when its all over.

I’ve been away from RP for a while and not sure if this was posted already. But former Cajun basketball player and young man who was playing for NC Central passed away back in may.

Shot related?

Shot related?

One article states he collapsed a week before his passing while playing ball.

Not sure if it was shot related, but certainly seems to be uptick in young folks passing away unexpectedly.

[R1Letterman]

Was he playing by himself/rec type situation or are some college teams still playing/practicing in may?

17.3.2.1 Men's Basketball. An institution shall not commence on-court preseason basketball practice sessions prior to 5 p.m. on the Friday nearest October 15 (see Figure 17-2).

And remember that USC kid was practicing before he was even enrolled

You can practice 4 hours per week in the summer as a complete team. The Cajuns practice Monday through Thursday for an hour each day during the summer semester. Now, you can have individual workouts with team coaches almost at will. Pre season practice as a complete team now begins on the last Monday in September. You can then have 30 practices in a 40 day period. The October 15 date quoted previously is no longer valid. I am pretty sure Butts passed away in a team setting.

I was unaware of this until a few weeks before the season started when I was looking up some former players just to see where they were these days. From what I read it seemed to be in some type of team setting. Whatever the case may be just a sad situation. I will always remember that game at Texas St. that he won with a last second steal under the basket and went up high off the glass for the game winner.
