News has it that he's left the team and campus and will not be returning.

I heard this as well but I didn't know if I should post about it. Apparently a couple days ago he had all of his stuff packed up in his room and he told someone that lives in the fraternity house next to St. James that he wasn't going to be back next year.Originally posted by Gargoyles View Post -
Isn't it kinda weird that he wouldn't finish up this semester and then leave?
Family issue maybe?
Best of luck if this is true EddrenComment

If true, it's probably for the best...both for BU and for Eddren...he clearly didn't seem to fit in our future plans...Originally posted by Gargoyles View Post
It would open up another scholarship for us to pursue some frontcourt depth for next year...and it would give Eddren a chance to find some additional playing time at a lower level school somewhere...Comment

IF this is true....
tough break for EM, he showed a lot of potential freshman year, but just had a tough year last year. SM or DSE better not get hurt, cause we really don't have any other point guards now, I would love to get a big and JW with the last 2 openings, but a JUCO Point guard might be needed too. Tough to get by with just 2 ball handlers if there is an injury to one. Unless WL can handle the ball, I don't know much about him.
I love EM's toughness and ball handling skills, but he is the one guy I thought might have a tough time cracking the rotation at this point not because he lacks talent but because of everything we have now and coming in. Even AT still has an opportunity because of his size and potential (we knew he'd be a project) to crack the rotation next year.
Again IF this is true without knowing what happened, thanks for what you contributed to the BU program EM, good luck with your future!Comment

I'm kinda of shocked given that he was excelling in the classroom. Good luck to him if this story is true!
BTW...DD is more then adequate ball handler."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

I have not heard any independent confirmation of this, but I accept that it is not surprising...
He's a long way from home and was falling deeper on the charts and not playing much...
I know he was still in the plans so I suspect if true he is smiply looking into the possibility of going where he'd get more playing time.Comment

If this is true, then it's too bad though not surprising.
I thought he had a decent freshman season, and it's unfortunate he couldn't make bigger strides his sophmore year.
Best of luck, Edge.Comment

The transfer does not surprise me. it sounds like an emotional decision though. Transfering now doesn't make sense. At the end of the year is what I would think he would do.Comment

I'm really disappointed that he's leaving because much like JC did, I thought he could turn it around after his sophmore year slump. Nobody expected much in JC's Jr year and look what he did.Comment

Eddren's old teammate in Louisiana, who we've talked about, Cedric Jenkins..
ended his high school career with a FOURTH state title..........and averaging around 20 ppg or more for four full seasons..

Well if that's true it's too bad. I liked his game a lot... Good handle, good D, and a gritty tough approach to the game. He had a very good freshman campaign and a rough sophomore year. Last year he seemed to be pressing from the start last year (maybe feeling some pressure from dyricus joining the team). As others have mentioned I kept JCs sophomore slump in mind when thinking the Edge might find his way again and do some real damage on the floor.Comment

I have heard this from two different people in the past two days but haven't posted it because it still falls under the category of "rumor." I think EM is a great kid and wish him well in the future, but really hope he at least decides to finish the semester at Bradley so he don't hurt his academic standing wherever he plans to transfer to.#DunkOnYouComment

Wow...this is really news to me as I had talked to Edge less than a week ago...
My guess is that he had since talked to Coach Les and didn't like what he heard based on either playing time or something else...
Edge is a great kid and I hope he latches on somewhere and has a great finish to his collegiate career....Comment

The coaches meet with each player after the season and discuss their future and the team's direction, as well as what the expectations are. I agree that EM probably didn't like what was presented to him. With Dodie returning, with DSE and Jake emerging as solid rotation players, with Walter Lemon coming in, and with not losing any players that Eddren competes with for playing time, I think he saw a discouraging picture.
What would you have told him if you were coach?Comment
