...at least from one other member here, a request for an accounting of recent transfers from the basketball program, and especially the Delks.
Walter Sharpe: Late for practice too much, late for class too much, late for game buses sometimes, and finally asked by Rick to transfer. Was involved in a shooting, as the recipient of a bullet, late one night after he transferred to UAB. Recovered and averaged about 9 points and 5 rebounds as a sophomore at UAB. After similar problems with both waking up, falling asleep inappropriately, somnambulism, was ruled academically ineligible in January 2008, was evaluated by UAB and diagnosed with Narcolepsy, which is a neurological disorder. He has one more year of eligibility.
Jerrell Houston: Redshirted, then actually started a couple of games for the Bulldogs, but left and Transferred to Tennessee State University. He has had a modest career at this midmajor, averaging about 11 points and 5 rebounds his senior year.
The Delks: As I related earlier, the Delks saw some of their playing time taken by freshmen Ben Hansbrough and Barry Stewart. By the end of the season, the Delks frequently saw Stewart and Hansbrough on the floor at the end of games, primarily because Ben and Barry were much better FT shooters. Richard shot less than 50% of his FT's and Reggie less than 60%. They resented their time being given to the two freshmen, made it clearly known to them, and, decided to ask Coach Stansbury for more time, and a position change for Richard. They went into the end of season meeting with Coach Stansbury asking for Richard to be the starting point guard, Jamont moved to the small forward, and both be given 30 minutes per game playing time. Coach Stansbury already knew what was coming in the meeting and after making the case that they may see their time further eroded, gave them already prepared releases. Richard transferred to Troy and Reggie to Louisville. It came out after their transfer, that when they were being unhappy with Ben, that Ben considered leaving.
This information came from a personal conversation with someone considered part of the program.
