He had a cousin or a friend that played for Fred at Iowa St. and he liked the style. That explains why he's transferring. But...why middle of the season? Quote Link to comment

I think an asst. coach was using racial remarks in or after practice. Kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. 2 Quote Link to comment

From a Wisconsin paper - King announced his decision to depart the Wisconsin basketball program citing multiple reasons for his departure, mainly that Wisconsin did not feel like ‘the right fit’ for him as a student-athlete. After that, news broke that King felt uncomfortable in his situation after strength coach Erik Helland used a racial epithet while telling a story of his NBA days to a few of the Wisconsin basketball team members. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 1 hour ago, seaofred92 said: Eventually Fred will want 5 guys between 6’4-6’9 on the floor. Can run, switch everything on D, and usually gives you an athleticism advantage. RE: "Fred needs a big man" Half have a starter 6-10+. Only Gonzaga has two. Three have one 6-9 guy. Creighton only has a 6-7 guy. If we can get a couple 6-8/6-9 guys, we'll be in good shape. 1 Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Whole lotta guards next season. We will be a lot better and the style of play will be too. Depends how Fred wants to play Stevenson. He can play a lot of positions - will be hard to have Teddy off the bench so he may start. Mack/Burke King/Allen/Green Stevenson/Thorir Banton/Lat/Cross Yvan/Walker 1 Quote Link to comment
