DSE seeks release

While this is true, he doesn't have the option of playing with the old coach, so if he leaves, he at least has some say in who his new coach is. I want DSE back as much, if not more, than the next guy. He's a friend of mine. I've known him for almost 4 years, since he went to Washington, and the guy is a class act. However, I can understand why he would want out in this situation. I think he's just weighing his options, which I can't blame him for. Until we know who the new coach is, I can't see him making a decision. I ultimately want to see him back, but I will wish him success wherever he goes.

if DSE decides to play somewhere other than Bradley -- he will likely get plenty of oportunity...he is very, very good and people at other bigger schools have taken notice.
 
I would be even more sad if DSE leaves than I was the day that JL was canned, and I was all for him to stay at the end of the season.
DSE is a guy who's hard to replace with his ability to drive to the hoop with his size for a guard, his ability to get the ball to bigs for easy buckets, and he may have been our most confident guy the 2nd half of the season. He undoubtedly was a very large part to our success in the last 9-10 games. Heading into his junior year, I saw more signs of leadership too. He just makes other guys he plays with better.
I don't want to hear the news if he decides to leave, but what else can I do. It's his life and I'm pretty sure he'll make the best choice for what's best for him.
 
I really think that DSE is frustrated that BU has no coach currently. He would like to know what his future holds and move past the sour taste of JL being removed from head coach and feeling kind of abandoned.

I sure hope we get someone that the current players feel a connection with...and that we land that someone by the end of this week. I'm sure that DSE isn't the only BU player getting antsy right now.

Prior to Martin being hired at MSU, the players were told they would not be granted releases until the coach was hired, and the release would be Martin's to give. Martin met with each player and gave them a certain amount of time to come back and ask for a release. I believe two players asked for and were granted releases. There were four seniors, and three (rumored 4th Juco hadn't signed) incoming recruits in which only one committed with the team following Martin's hire (Rhine).

As a fan who has gone through this I wouldn't worry too much. It is tough letting some of the kids you've grown to like go, but it is better to give the coach the schollies to go after his kind of guys.

If Brown can play and he stays, and say Simms Edwards changes his mind with the hire, then your probably a few JUCOs and couple of lucky breaks from doing some good stuff again.

My 2 cents, hire Mark Montgomery of Michigan State. Young guy who has paid his dues at the big school, he's battle tested has learned under the best, and has recruiting ties near your school. I think Bradley is focusing too much on names they know and guys with head coaching experience.

I agree with you on Bradley being focused too much on head coaching experience rather then going after a good asst. coach that has paid his dues from a big school.
