Xavian Stapleton transferred to FAU

Hadnt seen it mentioned here, so there ya go.

Wonder who will be the one to bring energy and emotion to the floor next season.

I guess Peters...

Stapleton was an enigma. I'd say his emotion was a wash at best. For every time he got fired up and on a roll, there was another time he'd come in, make two dumb fouls, pout about it, whine at the referee, and never get back in the game mentally.

Lil Spoon is who will lead this team next year, IMO.

I appreciate the effort all of our players put into conditioning, practice, traveling, etc to represent MSU Athletics and to give us the privilege to enjoy watching the games. And I understand also that all sports has some trash talking in it.

That said, I cannot say I will miss seeing his ***. His mouth was an annoyance and I’m glad he’s gone.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

It’s peters team without a doubt imo, if he wants it to be.

With Stapleton gone who will be our go to guy to get the stupid Technical foul during key moments of the game?

Or who will now be designated to make stupid gestures to the opposing crowd from the free throw line before missing the free throw that allows the opponent to beat you on a last second shot.***

Wish him the best. He showed a lot of flashes but never seemed to put it all together.

I will always remember seeing him mimic the throatcut on the free throw line at Vanderbilt at the end of the game. He proceeded to miss his foul shot, which Vandy snagged and hit a 3 to win. You do the gloating AFTER YOU HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS at the line lol

FAU is a great place to tf to for him. He must have seen pics of all those coeds following the lane train around.

Yep, can't pass up the opportunity to hang with Joey Freshwater.

The Baylor game when it was soooo easy for Kegler to get in his head .. was the 'final straw' to me.

In 18minutes, X was 6-8 overall, 3-4 from deep, and had 2 boads.
Doesnt seem terrible.

 

[Seinfeld]

Agreed. I’ve seen some comparisons to Charles Rhodes in earlier threads, and with guys like Rhodes, Austin, or Bost, I could always handle a little lip because they worked their asses off and earned their place

With X, the guy showed flashes, but you just can’t have that kind of mouth on you when you’re following up decent games with 3 pt/1 reb efforts. He did that way too often to be running his mouth like he did

 

[fishwater99]

I liked X when he played under control. He was an asset to our team, imo..

Fitting that you can’t see the problems X caused.

Thats an interesting interpretation of my posts. Interesting and wrong.

He was conductor of the team's emotion train and derailed that thing more than a couple times.

 

[dawgstudent]

And that’s just in a game. No telling what he was like in practice.

Maybe this whole section was sarcasm and I missed it

Im not sure how you could argue that X wasnt an emotional catalyst for the team. His high energy and emotion sparked a ton of runs that our team went on.

He also let that energy and emotion go too far at times.

Who cares if you do as much harm as good?

Even If you score 30 and turn it over 10 times for 20 easy points, you’re a liability.
