Major Wingate

[rexvol]

Just found out that he's playing outside of Istanbul and making $7000.00 a game. Who says it pays to get an education?

Who says it pays to get an education?

Guys who are done with basketball at age 25 with no college degree to fall back on.

 

[rexvol]

of course, his girlfriend, who just had a baby, is a family friend. I commented to my father that I just hope he's saving his money.

 

[utvol0427]

Any idea how many games they play a season?

 

[tdtnvols2004]

1

 

[Vol Mania 21]

1 game.

 

[rexvol]

unsure, but you would have to guess at least 10 right? I just know that he, his girlfriend, and their newborn are over there together. Let's hope for his family's sake that he gets it together. I would just like to screwup once and get rewarded with a 100k a year job.

Imagine if Cheech Wingate was still on this team...

Imagine if Cheech Wingate was still on this team...

he would only be impeeding the progress of Crews and Chism

 

[hohenfelsvol]

He can get some premium hash in Turkey at discount prices.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

To start the year off we needed Wingate, but without him Chism and Crews have made great progress.

 

[Voldaddy]

Chism and Crews have made great progress, but they are playing out of position. They would have made great progress if Cheech was playing center, too.

He failed numerous drug tests while on the hill; at least 3, per university policy.

Major Wingate would have been a major piece to the team this season. Tennessee's win/loss record would be at least 2 games better if they had him on the roster.

How many kids does he have now? 4?

Good for Wingate, hope the money adds up for him and he gets it together. Isn't Brandon Crump off playing somewhere too?

 

[OWB]

Getting away from Wingate for a moment, how does everyone think that Brandon Crump would've done with Pearl and this team?

 

[exotic_vols]

I found it. Wingate is playing for Turkish Basketball League team, "Tofas Bursa". I think "Bursa" is the city where the club is at.

He played 17 games this season, averaged 7.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg.

Major Wingate - Turkish Basketball League Player

I went to their club's website, that's in Turkish...

 

[.Chism4.]

Not to bad of numbers, and to OWB, I think Crump would have been drafted if he would have had played for Pearl

 

[sickemsmokey10]

dude was really weird on campus. I'd see him almost every Tuesday and Thursday and he'd be wearing PJ pants that had ducks on them around campus along with some really really werid sunglasses

 

[hvwarrior58]

Those were PJs that his mom made him. He had quite a few pairs.
