Former Davidson star Kellan Grady with 25 points (7-9 from three) today to lead Kentucky over Alabama. Grady is one transfer who's managed the jump up in competition well, leading Kentucky in minutes played and averaging 12 ppg while shooting 43% from three.
the case in point why the free transfer rule was terrible. Small school with a great coach gets an underrated kid and develops him very well and then looses him to the bluest of the blue bloods. If he had to sit out a year who knows if he would have left Davidson. The rich got richer at the expense of the smaller programs who put in all of the hard work.L J S A post=459092 said:

But is it better for Grady?
i can’t answer that and I am not sure there is a truly objective manner in which to answer your question. He would have gotten attention at Davidson and played in the Big Dance. It worked pretty well for Stef Curry. J’ai Morante went to a small school so it didn’t hurt him in any way.Amaseinyourface post=459102 said:
is he enjoying playing at Kentucky over Davidson , very possible. I don’t know his goals. I know Davidson is an excellent academic school so he did not gain in that end by trsansferring to Kentucky. But yes he is now playing on a larger stage. But for those who love the game of Bball the free transfer rule clearly benefitted the rich and not the smaller schools.

He got attention last season. Both teams are making tournament. I don't think Kentucky wins it all, but that obviously tilts in his favor if they do. Would be pretty painful for him if Davidson won it all though.
I guess the facilities and amenities and groupies are better. Does he end up the same place professionally either place? I think so.
North and LJSA, Idk the answer either. But he did choose to leave.
Thought Grady left Davidson as there was no graduate school program

Both coaches were at fault, although Howard for throwing the punch deserves a harsher punishment.Red2395 post=459214 said:
For those that didn't see it, near the end of the game Howard had his guys pressing just trying to get steals and play hard to the final buzzer, which a lot of coaches do even if the game is over, CMA does this as well. Usually, the winning coach will just let it play out no matter what, because they know they have won. Gard broke that unwritten rule and called a timeout, which is just throwing insult to injury on the losing team that's frustrated and ready to get out of there. Wisconsin is up 14 points with 15 seconds left, even if they give Michigan a steal and a 3 point basket, they still win by double figures and get the max points they can for margin of victory in NET.
After the game, Howard was originally going to skip the hand shake line he walked away from it, but decided to just go and shake the players hands, when he got to Gard he tried to walk past him, Gard grabbed his arm, Howard didn't like it, and grabbed Gard as well, they exchanged words, assistant coaches, players got involved, one of the Wisconsin coaches put his hands on one of Michigan's players, Howard seen it, he did a weird half punch/slap/push or whatever you wanna call it at the guys face and a huge fight broke out after that.
Howard probably gets a 3-5 game suspension, Gard probably gets a 1-2 game suspension, any players and coaches that threw punches probably get a 1-2 game suspension as well.
