MVC players moving on

I don't know...he was talented but not productive. MSU is hiring a good JUCO coach to be an assistant and he's going to bring his two AAs with him I believe.

Which juco?

Motlow State. I'm actually not sure how good of a coach he is, but MSU did nab the PG in the hiring process and they have a heck of a 6-9 post prospect that is undecided.

Oh, gotcha. Thanks. That PG had his fair share of HM offers. Great get for MSU.

Twitter is reporting that SIU guard Jalen Pendleton will transfer.

Preemptively, I'm just going to say that Hinson should be fired and they should bring back Lowery.

Thurman and Lavender are tough hits. I guess we'll see some departures from Bradley, too. Indiana State had a pretty good season, so I'm especially surprised by Bennett. We'll have to wait until Evansville and Loyola are through to see if anyone else bolts, but it's hard to imagine anyone from Loyola leaving after such a good season relative to expectations. Unlike last year, Moser did a pretty good job of giving PT to a lot of young players.

Gavin Thurman announced on Twitter that he would not be returning to MSU.

What a train wreck.

I don't think I've ever seen a program so thoroughly demolished in a single year. Most of us had high hopes for MoSt this year, and now ... there's no hope in sight.

If MSU is replacing him with two JUCO AAs, that definitely changes the importance from the loss of Thurman.

We could have got the two jucos and still kept Gavin. They are 2 separate issues.

What's the speculation on why Gavin is leaving?

I always expect someone to leave because it's just the nature of the game now. Playing time isn't always the main driver. (Osborne was a starter.)

My only time seeing Bennett this year was at the Loyola game at Arch Madness. There was a very weird vibe when he made a pretty aggressive foul down 30 with 4 seconds left. Lansing looked sick.
