Taurean Thompson

There was some talk a month or so ago that he was not going back but to be honest I have not heard anything in the meantime.
If he were to come here he would be a terrific pickup and would quiet some of the posters for a little while.
I want to be right on him/this so bad...I've been calling this for over a year now...was so obvious this was going to happen last summer.
Bull. Not being on campus is his thing. From what I can remember, he didn't enroll at Cuse until after classes had started.
Yep, some Cuse followers refer to it as the annual Taurean Thompson drama.
Yeah but there's been rumors and drama about him being gone for over two months.
A lot of drama surrounding TT. Transfers often have issues. Look at all the kids that have transferred in/out of the program - The vast majority were more headache then they were worth.
If taurean wants to come here, let me say welcome.
He would be the perfect pick up for next years team
Just saw this- an excerpt from the Cuse Board. We are in their rumor milll.
"... I just do not understand Moms strategy, he's not going overseas, that's a fact unless mom moved with him, he can't play for Seton Hall until next season, so at the end of the day, all the chaos, how do they come out ahead by doing anything else but come back to SU? "
Should be an interesting week. He will happy here if he transfers.

Retrospect, SHU was the best school for TT out of HS. Hopefully he corrects thr mistake.
In this era of instant news and every HS and college athlete using his I-phone to post news if TT was transferring or considering transferring I'm pretty sure we would have heard about it now , especially as schools are starting or have started their academic year.
On a separate note has anyone seen or heard where Singh is transferring to.

Taurean is not on social media - of course we will know soon enough from Cuse media and fans via Twitter.
Jeff Robinson's "me before the team" attitude his senior year killed our season.
What other options of legit impact players at the forward spot do we realistically have right now (sorry I don't have a good feeling where we stand with King right now). If TT is interested in coming back home I think it's great we kept a relationship with him. Hopefully this coaching staff can learn from past mistakes of giving players free reign. Based on Sha's recent interview I can't see them now letting a kid do their own thing if they are not buying into the team framework. TT has a ton of upside that I don't think we can afford to pass on especially if he wants to come back to this area.
TT might be extremely indecisive (even wishy washy) but there's nothing that I am aware of or is public knowledge that shows that he was a problem for the Cuse staff, that he butted heads with his teammates, or was a problem child last season in anyway. What we do know is that he put up solid numbers immediately as a freshman there, shot free throws very well for a big man, and clearly has always had a great relationship with our staff and at least partly wanted to come to Seton Hall to the very end last summer. He will immediately be the centerpiece of our front court next season and will not be recruited over guaranteed… Something he cannot say if he stays at Syracuse. Let's hope.
With a sophomore Sandro, and a senior Nzei. That's a solid frontcourt no doubt about it.
Interestingly enough, I remember that Hopkins was a big reason he went to Cuse. I wonder if his leaving vs becoming the HC is playing into whatever this is.
Everyone's quick to blame Jeff. I think a lot of people forget that so much of what we did revolved around Hazell and the 3 point shot. Losing Hazell third game of the season for almost 2 months is what killed that season.
Without a doubt, but at the same time you have to sit there and think what a combo of him and Delgado would have done for 2 years together.
He has withdrawn from Syracuse. https://articles.syracuse.com/orang...7/08/taurean_thompson_syracuse_basketball.amp
Now I want to hear Monster Big East news!
The good thing is, this will not drag on for weeks (well maybe the "family health issue" question might drag on, but I think they usually end up being hail Mary's)
