What's more frustrating and disappointing to me, was, is DJ Rodman EARLIER saying, making a big production, show that supposedly he was supposedly going to Return to WSU/Smith, etc.
If he was going to leave, then why tell everyone that your going to return, and make such a big deal, show, production out of it.
It would have been better, if he doesn't make that kind of announcement, and then leave.
The other thing that's hard about this is Rodman's SEMI LATER announcement he was leaving instead of announcing EARLIER, puts Smith/WSU between a rock and a hard place as far as harder to try to replace him now.
If Rodman had announced earlier, or if had unofficially told Smith earlier that he was probably leaving, then Smith would have more time, easier time trying to find, get a replacement for BOTH of Bamba and Rodman.
Yes Smith found a replacement for Bamba in that Wells and Rodman and Kymany were going to replace Bamba.
But now Wells and Kymany alone without Rodman might not be able to replace Bamba. And now on top of that have to replace Rodman in addition to Bamba.
And now because of the late announcement of Rodman, good luck to Smith replacing Rodman.
Maybe Carlos will have a hard time finding even a worse place to go and return via Smith's open door, but Carlos has probably already found a place, probably won't return.
Bamba, Rodman, Carlos, and Gueye being about 59% to about 67% to stay in draft.
The sky is not falling, fat lady not singing yet on WSU/Smith as far as this coming season, but its not looking good, if Smith, WSU don't catch a break and either have Gueye return, or Smith find a replacement for Rodman, Gueye.
