SIU-C Rumor

[real fan]

He never appeared to be the good shooter that he was suppose to be; somewhat like Cole-Scott was at Bradley. Sometimes it is better for a player to get a fresh start at a different school when he doesn"t live up to expectations.

According to the SIU Daily Egyptian, Bone saw the writing on the wall during the Canada trip. He played less minutes than Kevin Dillard, Ryan Hare and Justin Boycot. 2 freshmen and 1 sophomore, by the way.

Bone averaged 1.3 ppg during the trip. Dillard: 17.5 ppg, Hare 10 ppg

I believe it is about much more than this issue of playing time in the Canada games. He is the second leading returning scorer, and the best outside shooter the team had. I have heard rumors about differences with Chris Lowery that have been going on well before the Canada trip. It's been rumored that in getting some of the kids in his high-rated recruiting class, he had to make some promises of starting and playing time that just isn't realistic. If that's the case, look for other players to become unhappy.

This would be like Warren or SM leaving BU following either of their Freshman years. No matter how it is disected it is an extremely big blow the SIU program not only for this year but for the next 3 years.
