This thread is about as entertaining as any hand dryer, Pretzel, popcorn thread in the history of BA.
Yet...here you are...coming back for more and always commenting. I doubt I'm the only one who finds it odd that we have a much needed big man on scholarship who has sat on the bench in street clothes with a smile on his face for 53 straight games and we have no explanation as to why he hasn't played one second of basketball during this time.

The Bahamas watch continues.

A nation waits.
"Always commenting"? This post is 6 pages long, and I have three post on it now. But keep entertaining me!

Sorry it bothers you so much that I have the right to read and comment. I actually find this thread amusing and it bothers you. So it’s a win-win for me.

You guys are really triggered over a thread questioning why Bahamas Ezuma hasn’t dressed for 53 consecutive games? You do realize that nobody is forcing you to click on this thread right?

So, BTC, what are your thoughts on an Ohio University student, who is on a full-ride scholarship, not playing in any games for 2 years? Asking for a friend.

Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.

I don't see it as apathy, I see it as a school/NCAA or coach decision. None of which I feel is my business. That's my personal opinion, which I know some here feel like I am not allowed to have, which is fine too. Because like their opinion of IJ, it don't matter either.

2-3-2024 Update (Home to Miami)

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, Bahamas Ezuma is not with the team on the bench.

55 consecutive games.

Anyone at the game see him?

Careful Lucky Sparrow. According to some on this board, we aren’t allowed to ask any questions concerning the playing status of Bahamas Ezuma.

You wait. The rest of us have moved on.

He's not playing. We don't know the details - and may never know them. He's almost certainly never suiting up for the Bobcats ever again.

If you're going to keep counting - it might be awhile.

Will do.

When a player on scholarship hasn’t played in two years and isn’t on the bench for a rivalry game, I think the fans have every reason to ask if Bahamas is still part of this basketball team.

Nothing wrong with wanting an answer. I'd like an answer. You don't always get what you want though. Posting about it incessantly isn't going to change anything about the situation.

Kind of reminds me of a song that should be the theme of this thread.

“Coach, Miami’s Centers combined for 40 points in 40 minutes tonight. Was that part of your strategy or how do you hope to limit other teams production in the paint come tournament time and will IJ be available?”

Bingo.

There’s an actual basketball angle. You have 2 “bigs” and that’s it. Foul trouble could destroy you. But no. It’s none of our business. And again comically we don’t even know Bahamas is even decent. But foul trouble or in the worst scenario ever- an injury- we are screwed. We survived Miles being out because of depth. We’re surviving AJB because of depth. Same with Elmore. We can’t afford anything up front to go wrong.

But yet nobody asks the Bahamas question to Boals ever. Why? And Russ Eisenstein on this topic says he’s not a reporter and refuses to ask. This two year Bahamas saga has been pathetic and unnecessary. All due to a lack of information from the coach and those very few who cover the program on a regular basis refusing to ask questions.

Serious question, from reading your posts, if you did know the reason that he's not played or even dressed, what does it change? It does not change the depth issue, it does not change the issue with post play. It changes nothing except you would know. This is not a snide question, just trying to understand why this is so important to some people.

Bingo. I think we all WISH he were contributing. He's not and there are no indications he ever will again. This team is what it is. Most of us have accepted that and have moved on to figuring out how we win with what we've got.

Obsessing over why IJ isn't here changes nothing.

Will gladly answer.

My first question is why don’t you want to know? High level recruit. Doesn’t play. Travels with team. Rumors abound. He could be a piece we need. Is there any hope. At all? And what it changes is if we know that this is short term or long term you at least have an idea.

And yeah of course Bahamas is a scholarship player. Free education. Would be nice to know what has stopped him from contributing. Whether you are a donor to the program or a die-hard fan, I’d surely want to know what is happening. I don’t get as a fan that you don’t care one bit on why he’s not playing and why when asked Russ almost melts down and caves in on the coaches show. Can you imagine if Bahamas played for Kentucky or Duke? Those fan-bases would be going nuts if they were left in the dark as to why a guy on a full ride hasn’t played for two years with no explanation.
