Connor Hickman enters portal

[BUBraves2006]

It really sucks to say, but all mid-majors are essentially entry level jobs at this point. Some people become "lifers" and are here 4-5 years, and some people take a new job (transfer) after a year or two. If you excel at your craft, you should be rewarded and move up in the world. The problem is, basketball and feelings get in the way, and until you're a blue blood, this is always how it's going to be.

If you see the world as all about money, sure. If you see things outside of money, then I completely disagree with this sentiment.

If you want to go down the job analogy, I will, too. some people join a company at the entry level. Realize it's a great fit and you love the people, the work, the mission, etc. Eventually you get promoted and get more recognition over time. I equate this to the Burch and Atlason situations where they are just at the ground floor. Or possibly even better would be Ville, who could barely play as a freshman and ended up having a great career and will be remembered for his maturation among many other things.


Everyone sees the world a different way. Unfortunately too many athletes have a short sighted view of what will really make you happy. Everyone always wants more money, whether you're homeless or a millionaire - doesn't make you happy on its own.

I'd guess it will be a different Big Ten school.



And this is absolutely not the case.

would he seek out a program with an Indiana Elite guy on the coaching staff?

Are we he wasn’t nudged..

LOL? Nudge our best player out? Did you read that on another board?

The other thing that sucks about this situation is hearing what a type group these guys were.Well as the old saying goes, money talks,shit walks.So sad it's become that.Like everyone else really thought the "3" would stick together.

He certainly doesn't owe me, or anyone on this board an explanation. To insinuate he does is ridiculous.

I think you misinterpreted my comment. I wasn't insinuating that he "owes" anyone an explanation, just that I would like to hear one.

[Bradley3342]

This stuff makes me question how much I want to even be involved anymore.

You mean season ticket holder Dub!?

Rumor from @austinbliker on Twitter is that Connor is reuniting with Drew, which I almost guessed earlier today.

I said this on an earlier post that the mid majors should have their own tournament, since the Izzos of the world don't think the "Mids" belong in the Big Dance. There's more I could say but I'll leave it at that.

That's essentially what the CIT and CBI are.

And as I posted once before, the power conference schools would be happy if the mid-majors and smaller schools went off and had their own tournament. Then they could keep all the revenues from the NCAA Tournament for themselves, and totally exclude the smaller schools. So I don't see mid-majors doing that.

Connor also being recruited by Cincinnati...

[wily coyote]

Wow....good thing I'm not a gambling man....Hickman is the one I thought would stay ....
My take is your "always a Brave" as long as you finish out @ Bradley.....you leave for another school I'm done with you....period!

I'm with you Big Mike. Hick had a chance maybe a slim chance to maybe some day be inducted into the BU Hall of Fame but I certainly would hope not now. I'm done with him also. Never thought he'd leave. Oh did I say the portal and NIL sucks.

Now that's very interesting

Bottom line there is no loyalty to the team that took a chance on you, developed you and spent a lot of money for 3 years on you and you choose to go elsewhere. Most of us fans are pretty much done with these players that choose to go elsewhere.
