Dont think this is the best career move, but if it’s good for his mental health then thats worth more than its weight in gold, regardless of opinions from others.

Yeah I’m just bitter lol. Writing should have been on the wall a long time ago with how much he constantly posted about his GF and rarely about anything basketball related.

#41 is a pretty brutal number haha

Hope he does whatever growing he needs so he can pursue a pro career in 3-4 years

I feel like in this scenario, the Creighton NIL fund should tip CavFutures for a year of free S&C development lol.

I won’t be wishing him well. If that makes me petty I don’t really care. Last post I’ll make on the matter - if you ain’t with us you’re against us.

There are probably plenty of out of state freshman at UVA struggling with the adjustment, but they don’t have the luxury of transferring instantly with all expenses and paper work taken care of. I think that’s the frustrating part here. The old model would have made this more of a burden in Traudt so he would have had to put more thought into the decision. I hope he’s happier but can’t say that I want him to succeed in the court now …

The loss of investment is galling. The opportunity cost of this debacle is painful for everyone.

had he not chose to RS and then leave then maybe I could be supportive…But to RS and then just bounce fully knowing what that does to the program…
naaaa. get bent.

Okay not the last thing but this is an interesting thought. He could’ve gone to Creighton all along. His gf would’ve been there and it was easy. But he wanted to give UVA a shot and knew that at worst, he could just transfer back after a year. that definitely changed the calculus

Agree. Thats the realest part of it for me as well

Despite the constant back and forth on “Tony pushed him to redshirt, no he didn’t” this is pretty compelling evidence that I don’t think Traudt ever really wanted to be here. Maybe if he’d played he’d stay, but I think his parents loved Tony and thought it was a better basketball decision, but there is no way that Fish was ever as bought in. The girlfriend at Creighton, comfort in being in Nebraska, along with HGN’s dropping that the staff believes Traudt’s decision to redshirt was in part to preserve his eligibility for a transfer, just add up to an 18YO’s decision-making process - i.e., nothing really makes sense except in Traudt’s own internal logic.

What!?!? This is stunning news.

I think the bitterness is eh. We’ve been on the plus side of this- “robbing” Indiana, Alabama, Marquette, ECU, etc of very high quality players. This is the first transfer in years that wasn’t a transfer down or limited future opportunity scenario. We will have many more high quality players come in (aka benefit much more than feel the pain), so feel like we gotta just move on for this one.
