I'm sorry to hear that they are leaving. I felt that Drummond and Roddy showed a lot of potential. I wish them all the best of luck in their future academic'athletic pursuits.

Not surprised by Roddy or Bobo...there just wasn't any real playing time for them...and as heavily recruited as Bobo was, I think we all knew this was coming. Best of luck to both of them...However, I am surprised with Bramanti, I felt like for a freshman he got quite a bit of playing time, and was even played over RA and KG in certain situations. The good news, IMO, is that we haven't lost anything that really made this team successful last season. A loss like Young or Dixon would have hit a little harder, but good luck to all 3 of them where ever they end up.

It's not really surprising. I hope Donlon is still able to add another player for next year.

Good luck to all 3 of them. I hope Donlon can pull a rabbit out of his hat again on the recruiting trail. It looks like we whiffed on Karazsia and Vozzola. The only other 2013 recruit on the recruiting board is TK Edogi.

I think that Hopkins coming in to the program had a lot to do with Bobo and Joe leaving. It's unfortunate for the program because both of them probably would have seen significant playing time beginning in the 2014-15 season. Based on how I read the DDN article, it sounds as if all 3 made the decision to leave on their own.

Bramanti will be missed more than you might think. Yes, he contributed nothing in the way of points scored, but he was a terrific defender and did a nice job of running the offense, which is what you expect from a point guard. With him gone, who is Reggie's back up at point guard? I think Billy will miss Joe's tenacious D, and so will the team next year.

He didn't add much to the offense except the ability to dribble the ball down the court. He seldom looked to shot and didn't do much to set up his teammates. I always thought his "tenacious D" was overrated too. He struggled to guard quicker players. This was most evident in the HL championship game when he got benched because he couldn't keep up with Erik Boggs. His minutes will go to Dixon and Hopkins next season and I think we will be a better team.

BBJ, I agree. The times I have looked at ( Jeff Goodman's ) updated transfer listing, I admit I started with the D's and R's ( the list was last updated on the 3rd so, these guys will probably be on the next revision ). It took a few times of watching Joe before his play caught my attention. I thank all of them for choosing Wright State and sorry it didn't work out.

Really? I know it is easy to bash players after they decide to leave. Why not post this last week or last month? Pick on someone that will be back, if you think it will make you feel better.
