Is Ralph's Career officially over?

[98VQueens]

per Amelia:

Ralph Sampson III has been practicing with the team, but has been unable to explode off his knee

Hasn't that always been the case? Roll with EE, thanks for the memories RS.

Its time to officially move on absent Ralph. I hope Tubby see's it that way as its very clear that the Gophers are a better "team" without RS.

The guy isn't even playing and you continue to rip him. Unbelievable.

I'll tell you what.

The worst possible thing for Ralph's legacy right now would be if we lost the game in which he came back.

If he stays out and we lose: Ralph wins
If he plays and we win out: Ralph wins
If he plays and we don't win NIT: Ralph loses

I think you're definitely on to something here. He went out on a high note in his final game at Nebraska. There really isn't anywhere to go but down.

Ralph is probably kinda hurt. He is also a smart kid who realizes next year is now, and if it helps the team that he doesn't play, he doesn't play.

Except that players should want to play- oh yeah, he could help them win the NIT.

Name another Gopher basketball player we would make the same argument for- that we should let him sit out the end of his senior year. Most seniors would play on a broken leg.

Tubby's comments that he has been available to play, but he's not playing has to tell us something.
