Quinton Chievous might be staying

[Freak]

According to Ben Frederickson.

Tyndall said he has has conversations with Quinton Chievous about perhaps returning to UT instead of transferring. The school announced Chievous would transfer before former UT coach Cuonzo Martin departed for Cal last Tuesday.

And this is where I have to ask, could Cornish not have been more of a contributor than Q?

We will never know..

Maybe Cornish didn't want to be here?

 

[k-town_king]

Maybe the recruits didn't like Tyndall's O.

 

[omghulkhands]

So like, this one time, Quinton Chievous almost had a triple double in a scrimmage in his first year at UT.


And then he was never seen or heard from again.......

 

[Stoked]

Maybe they didn't want to run and had the Trae Golden syndrome

might be the yrs....we will just have Q this season and next

Have no idea what Tyndall is doing.

Quinton is better then anybody they could get. Maybe now people on here will finally start to understand how deep in it our program is. Tyndall made 400 grand last year. It took us quadrupling his salary to get him to take on this mess. P.S. Am I the only one who threw up when i read this?:unsure:

I'd have played Chievous in the Michigan game over Maymon after @ 2 minutes into the game.

That's why neither of us run college programs.

And ftr, I think this coach will make gut moves during games instead of sticking with players when it's not working. Sometimes somebody else can get the role done and lead to a win.

Certainly would be interesting to see if he can become a contributor. Kinda like how poorly Buzz used his players was magnified by Pearl.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I think its safe to say we never saw what Q could do. Maybe he thrives in a pressing style and everyone changes their minds.

Or maybe he just wasn't better than MacRae, Richardson, or Moore?

He's a 4. Athletic and can hit the 3 a little. Active on D. Better fit now. Like the other starters for next year are. All are suited for this system better than Martin's.

He's a 4? At 6'6 215? Interesting.

Since when? Q is a 6'6 guard. He had better players ahead of him.

Get out of here with that rational thinking.

I thought they had him at small forward most of the time he played especially defense.

The thing is, it is possible that he could be an excellent player next season, but that still doesn't mean that he would have been better than the 3 guys ahead of him this year.

My answer is something you won't agree with but I'll give it anyway.

Tyndall may prefer to have Q fill in as a stop gap for two years vs having Cornish taking up a spot for 4 years. He may think he can replace Cornish next year with a better player / better fit. Also, Q "maybe" staying could just be wishful thinking by Q. He may sense an opportunity now that he didn't see a month ago. But in all reality that opportunity may not be there and in the end he moves on to another school.

Bottom line is that Cornish is replaceable. Pretty easily if you ask me. Not that hard to find an unranked 3* SG in the next year or two. In my opinion, it was going to take him a year or two to really have an impact. Seems to me he is about the same caliber of player as AJ Davis.

The 2 & 3 are essentially interchangeable if you have another 6-5 or 6-6 guy on the floor.
