Curbelo

I posted this before but where’s be going to go, Fordham? I’m not sure he’ll play any time soon but if the kid has half a brain he’ll make amends and play the season out.

His options won't be limited to Fordham.

Also might be hard to make amends.

I can’t imagine any major program would take him given: (1) his poor play; and (2) disciplinary issues. I was being cheeky with my reference to Fordham, but would think his options would be limited to a mid-major at this point.

I have no idea what he was suspended for. I’m too old to decipher cryptic Instagram messages with crying emojis, but if he did in fact sneak into the press conference and post a picture disrespecting CMA, I agree that he faces an uphill battle making amends.

Unfortunately the young man clearly has issues, i truly feel for him as doors may start to close quickly.
If there is anyone with a brain close to him they should tell the kid that he must eat some humble pie, explain he is not bigger than the program or any program for that matter, put his tail between his legs and go apologize to the staff and team.
That should be the starting point.
 
His penchant for 2 really dunb turnovers a game would drive any coach nuts. I agree, I dont see any big time school looking for his services.

When hes good, hes really good. When hes bad, hes pretty bad. No consistancy from game to game.

Lack of 3 point shooting would scare any big time program away too. In todays basketball, you cant have guards that cant shoot from 3.

D'Lo at least acknowledged he needed help, and then spent the next off season getting it. Also I do remember during the time he was suspended, D'Lo continued to show up to games to support the team. I do not remember him cracking jokes about his coach on social media.

One more thing D'Lo could shoot and play half court straight up defense.
 
My instinct is that this is a complicated situation and a leave of absence makes the most sense. That said I have no idea what will happen next.
 
Hope Curbelo gets his head straight, but let’s be honest, he adversely affects team chemistry with his “me first” flashy nonsense. Frankly I hope his teammates have some positive experiences in remaining games, but can’t see Andre being a key to accomplishing that. Hope to be wrong, but evidence to date points that way.

Wasn't there some rumor prior to the season he was absent from practices due to some mental health issues he was experiencing?

In any case, it's fair to ask if CMA properly vetted the situation before bringing him on board. It was certainly a risk that had high upside, but came with the downside we have seen play out this year.

Early chatter was Curbelo had excellent chance of getting David Jones to transfer here. Between Soriano knowing Jones and that, it probably was very appealing to staff. Obviously so far it has not worked out as they hoped.
 
1. Playing crappy? Ok, it happens. Let's work on it.

2. Breaking team rules? Not good, but at least it's kept in-house and punishment is meted out. Let's move on.

3. Habitually breaking team rules? Have a seat over there. Way over there.

4. Mocking your coach and your program publicly? Son, here's the door.

Instead of bringing Curbelo in here the staff should have brought in another wing shooter. This team would be much better off if they would have done that.

Probably easier said than done. Thought we were in no position to turn down talent. Still not convinced as a player he is our biggest issue. But certainly fair to believe that he has caused some on court struggles.

This potential off the course stuff is a different story and if it is in fact as blatant as him going into the press conference and broadcasting it himself, it’s a serious problem and cause for potential dismissal. At least serious consideration.
