I was SO hoping that this situation was going to work itself out and Tyler was going to be the perfect reserve off the bench and develop into the kind of contributor that differentiates between a 25+ win team and a 20 win team in his junior and senior seasons. Unfortunately, I agree with y’alls observations that this looks to be an inevitable situation.
What I was concerned about this year was that TL would deliver a solid year but still transfer because his projected playing time when Trevor Lacey becomes eligible next year looks limited. That would have sucked for us. But, what has actually happened is that the kid is playing so poorly and is so disengaged that its going to be hard for most fans to miss him very much. Hell, go recruit a JUCO with that scholarship that provides something that we need (3 point shooting? more height in the backcourt? whatever it is).
Lewis’ attitude and performance certainly isn’t doing himself any favors. I really hope he turns it around!! He could be such a difference maker for us if we could get the TL that delivered when called upon last year.
