Silvio Opts Out

That sounds like more than your typical "opt out" you've seen athletes do. This one actually makes me doubt he ever puts on a KU jersey again.

[pdub]

Welp.
Not surprised.
I think that's it for him.

All that argument about Mitch v SDS for nothing.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yeah he’s done. Don’t think there’s any other way to put it.

[pdub]

Also, the NCAA ( and the Big 12 ) f'd him - in this particular case, the thread F the NCAA strongly applies.

[Mjl]

I guess him and Self just had the conversation about what his role would be this year - to battle Mitch for the 8 backup center mpg.

Sucks for him they didn't have that before boot camp.

[pdub]

Gethro???

[Mjl]

Gethro???

I guess we can't redshirt him now

[NewtonHawk11]

Eligibility rules don’t apply this year no? So why not play him?

[ousdahl]

noooo!

[ousdahl]

Welp.

All that argument about Mitch v SDS for nothing.

I wonder if Self gave him straight talk that Mitch is higher in the rotation now?

[Deleted User 89]

the real question is if he wrote the statement himself, or if it was penned by a staff member

[ousdahl]

In hindsight, he might as well shoulda busted that chair over Statie’s head

[ousdahl]

^^^ that’s a joke.

I condemn all violence.

Kinda thought the same for a second. Like why not? Lol

[ousdahl]

Does this keep our streak going of loosing a key big man we otherwise expected to have, since Embiid in 2014?

[ousdahl]

Last year we lost Silvio for a big chunk, but he wasn’t that key like some other years.

The one year we do have our key bigs, we finish the season number 1

[pdub]

Can we at least have SDS at the next ksu game on our bench wearing white pants so he can rush the court, swing punches and push actual players, with basically no consequence ?

[sdoyel]

He’s done for good imo.

[pdub]

But we get Mitch for another year, after this one.
