Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
You beat me to it. I don't get this at all. WHY???? He and Stack were so tight and next year's team would be Ty's! I am really sick about this.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
This is a surprise and definitely not great. Roster management continues to be CJS' Achilles heel. This obviously significantly hurts our chances to make the tournament and makes it seem a lot like we are about to have a rebuilding year. Difficult to find a silver lining in this one.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Oh geez. This just makes zero sense. The effin' portal is killing college hoops. It needs to be dismantled and restructured. The Covid excuse is long gone.

Those players that transfer can't get along with Stack?

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Exactly what I was thinking. This stinks of illegal recruiting.

Tyrin got along with Stack. Stack was a mentor and father figure.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
I'll be honest. I have wondered about the Stack-player relationship. Stack has talked about how close they are (specifically Tyrin and Jordan), but I haven't heard much from the players that would indicate that it's reciprocal.

So said Stack. Did anyone ever hear Tyrin say that?Foreverhopeful wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:05 am Tyrin got along with Stack. Stack was a mentor and father figure.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
This is most likely about the money and ,yes, I would bet inappropriate contact as well. Whatever , I am sick of the whole mess and don't completely absolve the players. I cheer for the VU athletes because I believe, apparently somewhat incorrectly, that they are young people with their heads screwed on straight. Expect little playing time or need to be closer to home for personal reasons ? Then by all means make a change. But starters jumping ship seems to me a lack of commitment to your word and to those teammates and coaches who made you what you are. I find it very difficult to wish them well.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
THIS! But, yes. I have heard from the families about good relationships with Stack. Even the Shelby family was supportive.OldDude wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:16 am This is most likely about the money and ,yes, I would bet inappropriate contact as well.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Well, the hell with them all. They don't want us, then don't let the door hit you on the way out. I am sick of these spoiled kids who make a commitment and then drop their school and team like a hot potato.
College sports is quickly headed, for me at least, the way of the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Lots more to do in life than fret over these losers.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
I feel like everyone is having to be an opportunist- players and coaches. It's so disappointing.
Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Terrible news and so incredibly frustrating. I agree with the complete frustration towards NIL and the transfer portal. I also think, when all the dust settles, Vandy will lead the conference in raw # of departures. Ty was the key to next year's supposed success. What a kick in the mouth.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
This won't be taken well by all on here but the fact is we better get serious about NIL or we need to just go ahead and join the MAC or AAC. This will keep on happening especially in football and basketball, baseball is the only program on campus that can deal with it somewhat but I am afraid its going to start sneaking in there more as well.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
And the portal is still open for another three weeks. We may not be done yet.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
This is the world today. If you're not first, you're last mentality. It's everywhere. Push people out of the way. The ends justify the means. For everyone that feels the way you do. There's 5 that respond to this with "Good for the Tyrin. Get what you can get. Screw anything other than that. There is no such thing as loyalty." The institutions and "the grown-ups" have done themselves no favors in terms of cultivating this attitude, but it's a real shame. Shareholder value vs. Stakeholder value.Foreverhopeful wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:27 am I feel like everyone is having to be an opportunist- players and coaches. It's so disappointing.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Right now I am done with this team and Stack......something is wrong that Stack can't keep players. SOMETHING!!! I am sure I will feel different by Fall but so pissed right now.
