Broadcast later said he was on pause, which means it's likely COVID related.AJ did not make the trip for the weekend games and is "taking a break from team activities". Team loses 79-70 without the Horizon's leading scorer.
That is certainly not the impression given based on what I heard on either of the weekend games.Broadcast later said he was on pause, which means it's likely COVID related.
I wish I thought they were close and just behind because of lost time but sorry to say I don't think that's all it is.I think the multiple paused and time away from the court is an obvious issue.
This team is so far behind the others. YSU has played five more conference games and six more total games than RMU. Even when RMU has played, they haven't had a full complement of players.
Williams and Treacy missed time because of COVID. Cheeks missed time because of COVID. Speaker wasn't eligible for the early part of the season. Bain was hurt. Bramah stepped away.
In all honesty, to take multiple teams to OT and have a bunch of close losses shows the talent on this team. They just have to get the details down.
They could use a perimeter scorer, but I think in a normal season we'd be looking at a Top 5 team in the Horizon.I wish I thought they were close and just behind because of lost time but sorry to say I don't think that's all it is.
Maybe there's some solace in the fact that he's essentially a grad transfer, rather than an underclassman transferring like Reed, Burke, Still, etc.That is a big impact for the Colonials. Another big time player walking out the door.
Yeah, it really doesn't sit well with me, either. Maybe there are some extenuating circumstances, but if it's just because of the losing, there are numerous benefits to sticking out the season and then moving on afterward.I wish AJ the best but leaving your team during the season would normally being labeled as quitting on your team. Now we don't know the 'why' for reasoning he decided to move on.
I'm hoping we find out more details from this interview.
He did end up at Nevada.Pgh Sports now reports that Bramah has de-committed from ASU. I see speculation that Nevada could be a good fit. They were one of his finalists, and they also had a transfer forward decommit so they have a need for him.
