Who is the zodiac killer?

Who murdered Jon Benet Ramsey?

Why did Darien Williams leave SJU?

I hope to learn the answers to these vexing mysteries one day.
 
If he felt leaving STJ was the way to go, this is probably a good move. Talk on the radio recently revealed Nevada has no original high school recruits on their roster. All transfers.

Played Grand Canyon

"Nevada with the reputation of a very good long-range shooter, and he didn't disappoint.

Stephens, the transfer from Purdue, scored 19 points thanks to five 3-point field goals to spark the Pack to an 81-72 win over Grand Canyon Sunday afternoon at Lawlor Events Center.

The exhibition game was added to the Pack's schedule late, and all proceeds went to help victims of the recent wild fires in Northern California.

Stephens was one of four players in double figures. Returning starter Jordan Caroline led all scorers with 22 points and eight rebounds. Lindsey Drew, Nevada's only other returning starter, added 13. North Carolina State transfer Caleb Martin added 10 points.

The Pack, despite being outrebounded 22-18 and giving up 10 second-chance points, led 41-40 at the half on the strength of 17 first-half points by Caroline and 11 from Stephens, who went 3-for-3 on 3-pointers and 3-for-4 from the floor overall.

There were eight ties in the opening half and seven lead changes

Stephens knocked down two free throws with 27.8 left in the half to give the Pack a 41-40 halftime lead, giving Nevada some momentum heading into the half.

Nevada came out blazing in the second half, outscoring Grand Canyon 14-0 in the first 2-minutes 54-seconds.

Drew started the barrage, and then St. John's transfer Darien Williams scored after a Grand Canyon turnover. Grand Canyon missed the next two times down the floor, and Stephens scored each time on 3-pointer, the second giving Nevada a 51-40 lead.

Caroline drained two free throws and Stephens completed the barrage with a basket to make it 55-40 with 17:06 left in the game.

Nevada maintained a comfortable lead until Grand Canyon went on an 8-0 run to shave the lead to single digits at 72-64. Shaq Carr had a basket and two free throws to lead the Antelopes' rally.

Josh Hall scored, and after a Grand Canyon miss, Drew scored on a three-point play to make it 77-64 with 3:20 left. Grand Canyon closed to nine, 79-70, with 10.5 left.

Oscar Frayer was the only GCU player in double figures with 15."

Nevada has a really good team and Grand Canyon isn't bad either.
 
Either riding the bench or injured. Nevada knocked off Rhody last night. Nevada has an excellent coach.

:D :D :D My man only played for three minutes and had more rebounds than Yawke and Amar combined.
 
Just an FYI, Williams on undefeated (5-0) team is only getting about 9 minutes/game & averaging just shy of 3 rebounds/game. Looks like he was better off staying put, but still early.

No clue why he left but as they say the grass is not always greener. Oh well it seems that both SJU and Williams are worse off.
 
Just watched Nevada lose to San Francisco. Darien Williams did not play in this game. In his two years at SJU, he average 16 and 11 minutes respectively. This year, with Nevada, he is averaging 8 minutes.

I know he is not hurt, as he played in their game last night (5 minutes).
