Offline Ty Sean Powell @tyseanpowell I would like to thank the Duquesne Basketball Program for allowing me to play college basketball but for personal reasons I am transferring Last edited by CLK (2/29/2016 5:36 pm) Offline Well there's why the offers continue. I'd be surprised if one more doesn't join him. Offline Shouldn't let him dress for the Fordham, St. Joes and ANY post season games - While he DOES have the right to transfer - could have at least held off the announcement until after the season. Offline Well there's why the offers continue. I'd be surprised if one more doesn't join him. Can't say I saw this one coming, although he seemed to have had been in the dog house several times. Got to wonder if this was mutual Either way, this is a big blow to this Program. It will be interesting to see which school gets him. I remember when Winters said he wanted to be close to his family.

I would doubt that he is even still on the team. Offline As the old saying goes, "Somethings rotten in Denmark " Offline This one reeks - announcing before the season's come to a conclusion! This aint mutual. This is a kid teed off enough to both embarrass and say to hell with my teammates as well as my coaches. Offline Well there's why the offers continue.

CLK, he wasn't just in the doghouse, he was suspended and missed games at least two times, maybe 3 times since he's been with Dukes. Maybe there was another suspension on the horizon and he said good-bye? Offline Might be another case of a player that wants to play on a winner. Offline Rats jumping a sinking ship. Offline This is a huge surprise! Especially since I thought he would be a starter next year. Well, we can guess all we want but until someone comes out with the facts, we won't know. This IS a negative for the program. He was/is one of the better players. He is definitely one of the most athletic. This will also affect the team as a whole. I just hope Teflon Jim didn't use him as a scapegoat at practice or after a game. Online! This is a huge surprise! Especially since I thought he would be a starter next year.

Ron got fired for TJ jumping off, Ferry should get the same treatment. And besides, Ferry is a proven loser, with no upside for keeping him. Attendance is non-existent, and keeping him vs finding a winner will cost the University more than the buy-out. Simple economics. Ron did have sellouts in his 5 years and some post-season, Ferry will never. Ron wasn't everything, but Ferry is nothing. Get rid of him. Offline Anyone who saw Ty's play on Saturday could see that he looked disinterested, made poor decisions, didn't defend, the worst possible body language on the floor, and had to be removed in favor of Nakye, never to return. I said after the game that Ty was either sick, or just didn't want to play. It was clear that something was wrong. Offline Well there's why the offers continue.

Maybe there was another suspension on the horizon and he said good-bye? This wouldn't shock me. Offline I always had a gut feeling that Ty wouldn't last four years here, but it's still disappointing to say the least. Kid had a high ceiling but had more than his share of issues. Isaiah mike better be ready to go next year Offline I always had a gut feeling that Ty wouldn't last four years here, but it's still disappointing to say the least.

Offline Ridehour had a lot to do with Duquesne getting engaged with Powell. I thought it was 50/50 after his departure that Powell would follow. Based on the current facts, and I agree with Levon totally, it's inexcusable Ferry even put him on the court.

It makes sense, Dome, that Powell will end up at Kent State with Des. Powell is young, only 19 now, so a redshirt year would really help him physically and perhaps help him mature. Offline All other things equal, this is a total D**k move by Powell. Walking out on your commitment and your teammates with just a little bit of time left in the season. Offline All other things equal, this is a total D**k move by Powell. Walking out on your commitment and your teammates with just a little bit of time left in the season. It's strange timing for sure. It gives the illusion that something else is going on Offline Man this blows. It's like this program can never really take a step forward. This is definitely a huge step back for the program. Hope we can get a grad transfer forward or Juco guy that could step in right away to help replace his impact. He was our best big offensively scoring and passing. Don't see anyone on the current roster that can replace that, even with an offseason to develop. I thought Smith and a combo of guys could help make up some backcourt production but this is yet another hole in the roster going into next year. Offline Grad transfers, and jc guys are mostly worthless. Pitt's grad transfers are doing nothing, and the Gibbs kid at UConn has been a huge disappointment.

In a perfect world, no coach worth his salt would take this guy after this. "Hey kid you walked out on Duquesne before the season even ended! How do I know you won't do that to us! Keep walking!"
