Kahlil Shaheed has reopened his recruitment. His status now shows him undecided. Yes, and I'm sure Deandre will be gone too. They seemed pretty tight last Saturday during warmups. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but Kahlil wouldn't have been on the court Saturday. Samari was on the floor during warmups and on the bench during the game.

Samari was on the floor during warmups and on the bench during the game. I agree with Stennis. I wasn't at the game, but it would seem strange for Khalil to be here the night before Purp posted he was undecided. It has to be Samari Wildbill is talking about.

Khalil had a couple of games last weekend. He wasn’t here.

I am betting DeAndre stays...its in his best interest to. The clock is ticking on his eligibility. He can be a star under coach lick. Let's hope this happens I am again going to post that my opinion (based off the interviews, the data, and what I am hearing around town) is that Williams is not playing because of the fact "his coach" is gone. Sure, he may have tweaked his back but that was what a month ago? I am not buying he is staying out 100% of the time because of an overwhelming back injury. He plays with determination and this is opposite to that frame of mind and how he is when on the court. I feel he is well enough to play 10, 20 minutes or maybe all of them. If I was his teammates, I would take him in the corner and beat the truth out of him. He is doing what Walter has done and that is being very, very selfish. What Walter did was hurt his family, his co workers, UE, his home town former fans who looked up to him, his players and not to mention his own reputation which is now 100% in the tank. I think he is being influenced by Walter just like Drew Smith was with Marty. Marty and Walter now have one thing in common to go along with their big ego and that is they both want to hurt UE because UE let them go. I would not be surprised if Walter is reaching out to existing players or other recruits to get them to leave or simply go somewhere else. What does he have to lose?

You are entitled to your opinion, but basing it off "interviews, data, and what I am hearing around town" to justify this particular opinion is wrong. What interview has given you the impression that DeAndre is faking his injury? What data shows this? Unless you are the medical professional attending to him, that data is proprietary and unable to be accessed. And if by some miracle of God you have access to his medical records, you should be sued for malpractice for violating his HIPAA rights and discussing his private health issues in a public forum. Nobody will be able to convince me that DeAndre is keeping himself off the court for any reason other than injury. There were reports of him getting animated during practice last year because he didn't think the coaches were reffing appropriately. This is the only player we've had show emotion consistently on the court this season. His love of the game shows in everything he does, so why the hell would he fake an injury to get out of competing and doing what he loves? It doesn't make an iota of sense.

Coach Tom Bianchi is currently running an “ad” on Twitter for Khalil showing a highlites video and requesting DMs of interest be sent to him. He says that Khalil is a “steal” for any program.
He’s obviously not coming to UE. Khalil also said he sat down with his family and decided it was in his best interest to look elsewhere. I’m wondering if UE coaches informed him that his scholarship offer was withdrawn.

I said before that I thought Walter was promoting himself as a line to the NBA. Maybe so, but the fact TL was a scout and had better input to the Celtics than an Assistant Coach would.

Tell me what benefit DeAndre gets by sitting on the bench and not playing. He is enrolled in second semester classes or he could not sit on the bench. By being enrolled, for any D-1 transfer he would not be eligible to play at all next year. He played in too many games this year to seek a medical redshirt.
I say he is injured and doesn’t want to risk a future pro career by re-injuring or causing a new injury until he feels secure.

On paper looking at the two resumes of each coach TL looks to have the strongest experience. Actually WM could only sell a link to the NBA. I say only time will tell which coach benefits the Aces the most.

You couldn’t be more wrong about DeAndre. He is hurt, period!! The back can be re-injured very easily and it has to be slowly rehabbed after an injury. I don’t know why so many want to think there is some sort of conspiracy theory or to deliberately to this because WM isn’t his coach!? DeAndre has been very supportive of his teammates-even while sitting on the bench! I agree with you about Walter and everyone you listed that he has hurt-that’s a very long list of people for sure, but what we all need to remember is that the victims of him are the ones that are going to hurt way longer than the rest of us fans are. Their lives are affected forever.

I had a back injury about 4 years ago that the doctors said I should let it heal naturally as surgery had the potential for a more serious outcome.
What happened to me is I was stepping off my boat trailer in my garage and landed stiff legged. The result was two fractured vertebrae that took multiple MRIs to diagnose. It took several months to heal and for a couple of years I had to be careful with what I did. Even to this day I still worry at times.
I show compassion for anyone with a back injury.

If DeAndre was faking it the PT would know it and an MRI would show it. My PT knew exactly what was wrong with my back without me having to tell her. My PT sessions lasted a long time. I had to learn exercises and whole nine yards. Back injuries take time.

I would suggest we s***-can the contrived controversy over the kid's back injury. There would be zero incentive for him to fake it and even less incentive to not follow medical advice on letting it heal.
