Good luck to Painter and his family situation. But sucks that he's leaving right now. He could have been a great contribution to our national championship next year.

nerlens?

4/11/2012 4:15:23 PM

Hopefully this will influence Jefferson's decision...

4/11/2012 4:15:27 PM

lol

4/11/2012 4:15:39 PM

Odd if he ends up at ODU to be closer to family. It's less than a 3 hr drive. It would be like transferring to UNC-Charlotte to be closer to family.

damn that blows. makes the jefferson, leslie, and andrew young decisions even more important.

painter's going average 20 and 10 at ODU.

4/11/2012 4:25:25 PM

god fucking dammit.

AND it's not even anything where you can be like "must be b/c we're getting jefferson."

dweedle is going to start citing V0LC0M in his tweets

I am gonna miss DP, he had such a smooth jumper, but maybe TDT and TBDV will be able to step it up? TDT looked alright for a freshman that rarely saw playing time. Luckily front court is a position where we have depth and men.

It sucks, but we can definitely recover. Good luck to Painter at ODU.

4/11/2012 5:31:17 PM

So ODU? hmmm... Not to be a dick, but maybee he didn't want to have another year of being the guy that backs up Howell.

4/11/2012 5:34:20 PM

this is sounding like a "release of scholarship" so he can play right away?

virtually no reason to transfer if not

4/11/2012 5:35:26 PM

^^it's supposedly to be closer to an ill family member

4/11/2012 5:41:32 PM

With three ships available now obviously Oriakhi needs to have a full court press thrown on him. He has eliminated Duke from consideration.

We can't afford to throw away a season with such promise by having Vandenberg be a major part of the rotation with a guy like this out there for the taking..

4/11/2012 5:43:11 PM

I've heard Julius Randle is reclassifying and he said if we removed DP he'd be ready to run with the Pack

4/11/2012 5:45:36 PM

all aboard!

4/11/2012 5:47:54 PM

^^ I thought you were going say something like

"This may be a huge benefit to us. Deshawn was good at times but hogged nearly all of our bench minutes in the paint which slowed the development of TDT and Harris..."

Damn what is up with corchiani's foul mood.

DP was a LEGIT contributer, nobody can deny that.

4/11/2012 5:52:28 PM

aha, corchianis a dick

4/11/2012 5:53:30 PM

no he wasnt

4/11/2012 5:53:40 PM

yes he was

4/11/2012 5:54:19 PM

nope

4/11/2012 5:55:14 PM

That was a dick move by corch, unless he knows of some addition that we dont know about yet.

4/11/2012 5:55:26 PM

^^yup

wtf kind of a name is nerlens?

sounds like a fucked up way to say New Orleans...

4/11/2012 5:57:22 PM

painter did not contribute in his time on the court...

he gave leslie/howell rest... but did not have a unique contribution on the court

4/11/2012 5:57:42 PM

yes he did

4/11/2012 5:58:07 PM

ultra dick move by corch

4/11/2012 5:58:13 PM

he didn't... and you're a towel
