Terrance Williams transferring to USC
This moves usc from preseason 15 to 14 in big ten …
Eric Musselman is good coach. I wouldn't sleep on USC. He was able recruit to Arkansas.
They do have a good track record though as a basketball program from what I can recall. Calipari wouldn't be going there if they were basement program.
Calipari is going there for 2 reasons: 1) Not as much pressure as UK
2) He'll have even more money at his disposal at Arkansas than he had at UK.

Musselman is all smoke and mirrors. Talks a good game but doesn't get it done on the court.
I'm not sure we need to be throwing rocks with regard to men's basketball for a while here.
I think we have one spot open, and two if Jace leaves. Correct?
We have one SCHOLARSHIP open, two if Jace leaves or goes to being a walk-on.
We have 3 "spots" open. 1 scholarship and 2 walk-on.
If Jace becomes a walk-on, it flips. We have 2 scholarships and 1 walk-on spot open.
Personally, I'd leave Jace on scholarship because you get it back next year when he leaves.
We don't have any minutes left and you're not going to find a transfer who is willing to play 0 minutes unless it's garbage time.
I'd leave Jace and aim to find a freshman C or PF who can redshirt next year, then back-up Wolf or Johnson in 2025.
Then find a couple of walk-ons and that's 15.
12 we have now + scholarship freshman post player + 2 walk-ons.
Staying in the Big18.
I don't mean to sound rude, but thank goodness
I concur, sure he's a good kid, but not M material on the court
I thought he finally found his footing last year. I thought when he committed he was going to be around for 4 years and be a Charles Barkley like player. I was incorrect.
Seems like his game would have fit May's style well. Given the timing of his departure, I suspect May did not feel the same way.
If he's not Michigan material then why did USC accept his transfer? They're a B1G team. Hmmmm, makes you think
Bit of a vindication for him, seems like. We should wish him well. People who say that a young man who did his best in a Michigan uni for three years aren't 'Michigan material,' fuck 'em, honestly. TWill--a good man who lived and suffered through it--will be remembered.
4 years for TWill.
Cheers.
Really? I liked his game and think it could have thrived in Dusty's offense.
Role player who had to do too much.
Another person who obviously doesnt watch or pay attention to or know basketball.
Damn, Is this necessary?I mean, when are you suiting up?
Suited up back in the day, but the point is they are ripping on a young kid who played his heart out for Michigan and actually shot 40% from 3 point and was pretty decent for us last year. He wasnt some scrub who sucked. I am sticking up for the kid from some guy on his computer ripping on a now former Michigan player. Just dont know why fans come on here to rip forme players for Michigan. Say a former player was convicted for rape or murder then have at it as I will most likely join in but TW seems like a good kid who did nothing but try his best at Michigan.
Don't think he was replying to you.
Wasn't sure I can't tell who responds to who after so many responses and more responses. Still it gets old all these so called fans ripping on a young kid for doing what they or their family thinks is best for them as they dont know anything that goes on behind closed doors. Even some of us thay know alot that goes on we still dont know everything on every person as some stuff is kept private and not meant foe the public to hear. All those who keep supporting our kids and former kids a big thumbs up.
Correct. Thank you.
And his Dad handles the security detail for Ginuwine and he is a DC bus driver. Gotta love that! Good luck Terrance!
Absolutely agree.
If you don't want to be rude, don't be rude. Saying nothing or not posting is always an option, especially for people such as yourself.
One of those guys that felt like he never realized his potential. Good luck to him!
That kid may need a fresh start more than anyone who was on last year's team.
Best of luck to him.
All I'll say is that he is an upgrade from Bronny James for USC.
General Comment: I realize I'm on the older side but the comments following the departures of Semaj, Terrance, George, etc. plus Jace's death watch bother me.
Agreed, this is a sports blog but damn, these kids met the athletic and academic requirements to attend one of the elite universities in the world. Wish them well and unlimited success in the future.
Complete agreement from a fellow old man. Last year's basketball team was a shitshow on the floor, but the kids in the program bear almost none of the responsibility for that. TWill chose Michigan, played hard, did what was asked of him. It's the program's responsibility to put these kids in a position to succeed. They failed; he didn't.
Well said OM! They did fail him and with better coaching he couldve been a poor mans Livers.
Every fanbase has its assholes. I don't think its the prevailing opinion. I also think some of it is just convincing themselves this won't negatively affect winning. Sometimes that takes some mental gymnastics, sometimes it's just accurate.
Plus there are sparty and OSU plants here to seminate discord.
Heh heh. He said "seminate."
Isn't that what got Mellllll in so much trouble?
Agree 100%. Sadly, as players get compensation, I think people will feel more entitled to shit on them.
It's a fine line.
We're naturally going to be critical or lionize players/plays due to our fandom--I don't think that can be helped in sports. But, I agree with this poster's sentiment. It's one thing to lament poor performance in the moment (staying away from ad hominem attacks, mind you) because these kids will need to learn to deal with criticism anyway. But, it's another thing to shower these youngsters with insults on the way out the door. Or to boo them in their home stadium (cringe). Or to go out of one's way to express that to them on social media (very cringe). It's typically a bad look to the poster in retrospect, and definitely a bad look in the eyes of student-athletes, their parents, and future recruits.
A lot of it is in how an idea is conveyed and whether it's constructive (or funny in the case of "GWIII crossing the Delaware again") and focused on the quality of play or on the behavior rather than on the individual.
The old adage "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all" is a surprisingly useful tool in many life situations.
All of that said: FIRE BORGES!!
Wish him luck; it's weird to say but he's going to be on the conference slate so he'll see his old team at least once this year.
Good luck to Terrence except when he plays the Good Guys. Agree Musselman is a good coach and the conference will be tough next year. That said, Coach May has been doing well in recruiting and in the transfer portal.
Happy trails

RickSnow is gonna be crushed
When they list toughness as an attribute in a basketball post that is never good. I liked Twill a lot. I wish him well!
