There was no mystery to Jon Smith, either. Or, for that matter, DJ Cooper's decision to tank it in the MAC Tourney final vs. the Abreau-less Akron Zips.

Both were due to Jim Christian being a supreme asshole.
Sorry, I call this fake news!

Why did DJ tank and not Reggie?

Akron pulled a coaching gem and had the quick and LONG Harney guard Coop everywhere and completely took DJ’s ability to do much on offense.game away.
I was told by someone I trust that DJ and Christian got into an altercation in the locker room after the semi-final game vs. WMU. If you recall that game, DJ was unstoppable, but Christian allegedly found things to criticize.

FormerMember already answered this. The bonus Covid year from the NCAA was Spring 2020, Fall 2020 & Winter 2020-21. The Winter 19-20 season was almost complete and no extra year of eligibility was granted for it. Otherwise Jordan Dartis could have come back for a 5th year.

So Wiz has another year if he wants it. At the risk of giving FearLeon a heart attack...If people are questioning that 2nd year at Louisville as possibly a redshirt candidate, then the question would become does he have TWO years remaining.
Ummm….thanks for the clarification. But this does nothing to solve my heart issues on this topic…haha.

He was pretty good at that. Ask Stevie Taylor his thoughts. Safe to say, they will never be on the same staff. Stevie was a true Bobcat for sticking it out and doing so with a good attitude

Wadley battled Crohn's disease while he was here. When he actually could play and could go full out 100% he was great, but that disease is so hard to get a handle on. I imagine especially for an athlete of his size.
Fun fact: Crohn's Disease exists because our forebears had sex with Neanderthals and their DNA doesn't play nice with ours.
