I just read in the Projo that the rumor is that DeSean White will be the next player to leave the PC Hoops program.
"Player attrition has been a constant issue during Welsh's eight years as the Providence College coach. During his tenure, 20 players have left the program with eligibility remaining. Counting White, 5 of the 20 were on the roster last year at this time." Link to Article
Does Timmy have some compromising pictures of Fr. Shanley?? All I know is that in the "real world", when your employees (in this instance college basketball players) leave the company because if differences with their boss (T. Welsh) the powers that be see a pattern and get rid of the root of the problem which is of course Tim Welsh.
I assume a big part of this is that the freshman are outperforming some of the returning players. Geoff McDermott is a force. Sharad Curry can light it up. Where it appears Tim Welsh is failing is convincing players of their roles. Some players egos are too big for their own good, but geez... 20 players in eight years have left with eligibility remaining. That's just not right!
