Steele has really ticked off Paul's AAU coach. The one guy that is closest to him.
He moved Paul from Indy to Cali a month into his senior year over some beef with Paul's HS coach (Kyle Simpson) taking away his UA sponsorship
With how mad he is at Steele right now I wouldn't be shocked if Paul leaves even if it's not for the pros.

Is this really how things work today? Even the AAU coach has a say AFTER they get on campus?
I can certainly see it being a factor in the corrupt world of recruiting, but once they're there, the coaches don't tell them to piss off?
In saying that, it does feel that Paul hasn't come close to reaching his potential. At the same time, Paul doesn't seem pissed about it either.Last edited by drudy23; 01-20-2020 at 01:54 PM.

I am calling Knight of Columbus bingo during the game but will DVR and hope I will come home to a victory as I am sure I will be looking at the app. Will pray for Q(no kidding, usually I pray for cancer patients, disaster like Australia,etc) but I think him playing better (like 8 p 5a,2 To, 4 Reb) will cause a virtuous cycle where Moore will play better (not coming in to stem the tide), KyKy will play freer as a 2, and everyone will generally feel better. Watched all Big East this weekend and G-Town played Marquette tough(of course at home) and know it will be a tough game. Q playing better breaks the logjam and he (and his team and us fans) deserve it.

I'm sure a lot of players aren't happy. I wish they would show that on the court, by playing with a chip on their shoulders more often.
Scruggs seems like a really good guy. He's playing a bunch of minutes, so that cant be it. Likely this guy thinks Scruggs should be at the PG spot. So does he and a whole bunch of other people......

Yeah, I'm with you on that, obviously you don't know what has been said to these guys (whether they've reached out or not) or if they'd take it to heart or not, but I'd love to see former players at least try to give a bit of advice. I think we're lacking that bite, the one guy in the locker room who would give a speech like Bernard did to get things together, or that can really grab a hold of everybody and get them motivated to play hard as hell and turn things around. When we were down in the past, or looking to close out a game, guys like Trevon (he may have been quiet but his play did the talking), or Tu would take over, I don't see much of that in this group. I think Naji has the ability to, but he presses a little out of control. I'm surprised its not Tyrique honestly, as a Senior and seeing the swagger he plays with, I would have expected him to rally these guys. I guess we'll see how they respond on Wednesday.
