After reading several message boards and forums regarding Q, here are the most common adjectives (in no particular order)......

Unselfish, high basketball IQ, leaper, strong defender, leader, great kid and can play both ends of the floor

Well...sorry to hear about the medical issues for Q, but will be very happy that he won't lose a year of eligibility.

I see Q is no longer listed on GoSycamores roster. Anyone heard about this??

Yes, there was a rumor floating around a couple weeks ago that he quit the team that came from a very reputable source. However, could never find anyone else to confirm so was waiting for something like this.
 
Interesting. First i want to disclose that i know absolutely nothing on the situation. But if the signs and rumors prove to be true hopefully Q saw the writing on the wall and knew that he was not going to get much playing time (at least that is why i'm hoping he quit). That would mean that our newcomers have come in and are ready to contribute, which is a great sign for the program. Obviously, any kid quitting in any program raises red flags (look over at illinois state) but as long as no foul play was involved it could be the best for both parties.

I too have no knowledge of what is happening or has happened. Isn't it possible that his scholarship was pulled and given to someone else. This would leave him as a walkon--pretty sure way to get him off the roster. Crappy way to treat a kid who has spent as ;much time on a program as Q has here. I guess thkat is spssible, but I doybt if it happened this way.

I don't believe it has anything to do with this.

You're glad what isn't true??

Let me clear a few things up as this has been a fluid situation with Q dating back to sometime last season (perhaps before but not to my knowledge). He's off the current roster - but we've seen that before (see TJ Bell). The kid has had on and off the court issues for some time now. Sometimes when it comes to off the court issues they are bigger than the game of basketball or any sport for that matter. If he gets things figured out I could see him being welcomed back. The way things are now it would appear he's off the roster.

It had nothing to do with Lansing kicking him to the curb. Lansing has been the kids biggest advocate playing him more time than he should have played in the past (my opinion of course). I think he would have seen a drop in his minutes this coming season but he still would have seen the floor. Lansing likes guys with experience and he would have had no problem throwing Q into the fire. This situation goes beyond X's and O's, playing time or anything else.

I think it's probably best we just see how it all plays out and wish Q the best moving forward.

Great way of putting it. This is definitely not a situation where Lansing said he wasn't good enough for a roster spot.
