whitesoxfan101 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) He's a VERY VERY talented player, sounds like he may have some attitude issues though. Hopefully he gets it together.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) Bwahahahaha. There goes any chance of them winning anything. Were they in the hunt for a national title? Or do you mean they'll never win a game again this year if he really does quit the team? Wilson Chandler is definitely a talent, but by no means the focal point of this team. I don't take anything away from his rebounding and flashes of brilliance, but he has still been prone to poor freshman mistakes and nights of horrible shot selection. He's been a solid contributor as a freshman in the starting lineup along with Currie. His future is obviously bright. Anyways, this is all pure speculation. I will not be surprised to see him back on the team, if he really has quit. As is mentioned in the link, Wes Green quit the team prior to this season but thought it through and came back. Sammy also took some time off during the season last year to take care of personal problems. It's unfortunate that this occurs, and it upsets me as a fan of the program since it reflects poorly on the players being recruited and their character, but that's how it's been with these young guys. And as for the the statement that "their goes their chances of winning anything," I have no idea what you mean. This is a team in transition with only one scholarship senior and two freshman starting, along with a brand new coach (one that I'm not a big fan of yet) in a new conference. Prior to the season the consensus amongst DePaul team was that this was a team that needed to grow, and the NIT has been what is expected. The bubble talk has come because of their strength of schedule, which is about third in the nation, and a few wins against solid teams. But the losses against teams we should be beating shows that this team is too inconsistent to be a legitimate Tournament team. Some of it has to be attributed to, as I mentioned before, having a new coach and young players getting acclimated. The rest I blame on poor coaching and preparation.
