Oh, boy. The Louisville fans were giddy when he committed. Their savior is going down under.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[HooperScooper]

In my book not enough bad things can happen to Louisville.

 

[Fishy]

Good.

The kid wants to win more than 5 games next season. Can you blame him?

 

[SportsFan88]

Ouch

 

[BGesus4]

They’re longing for those vacated championship days over there

Odd decision and even more odd timing. He kinda screwed Louisville. Such a shame……

He shouldn't have signed there in the first place. In a dream scenario they get close to .500.

 

[temery]

His chances of playing college ball are circling the drain, counter clockwise.

Pretty big jerk move from him but can’t say I’ll lose sleep over it

 

[Travelman6]

You just hate to see it.

You just hate to see it.

But more than that...

He wanted to start at pg, after summer workouts/practices he realized he wasn't going to start over Skyy Clark so he bailed

Refresh my memory (I seriously don't follow close enough to know) - I know Pitino was involved, but what else brings the hate on Louisville?

How much time do you have?

 

[HooperScooper]

Obviously he didn't really want to be in college. Which is probably why he chose Louisville in the first place.

“In my opinion it was an opportunity of a lifetime,” Flowers told 247Sports. “When the opportunity came there was only a certain window for me to make that decision. For me it was about locking in and being able to fully focus on basketball. Being down here for my first two months at Louisville, I saw it’s a phenomenal place and I love everybody here. It’s just in college in general there’s a lot of distractions so it’s really just about locking in and perfecting my craft. Also I’m going there to play the point full time which was something I couldn’t pass up.”

24/7. But I only remember bits and pieces of any given day.

That's too bad....

Yeah, I can't imagine "distractions" at Louisville include "classes".

Guessing he signed for something between $400K-$1M, the latter which is pretty much the individual player cap in the NBL. Maybe Flowers didn't want to work for NIL $.

Besides them being a filthy program, I would assume most of the hate comes from them getting a spot in the ACC over us.

It’s tough to argue when you look at it from the kids view. He wants to train for basketball for 9 months, not be in college.
