961819 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 7 hours ago, Fred said: No one has any idea what is going on in Frye's life. You don't have enough information to call him a prima donna. And anyone who heckles him is a complete jerk, in my opinion. If his short leave of absence has anything to do with a mental health or emotional issue, then that's really a great response to try to demean him. I'm really blown away by the cruelty, immaturity, and lack of class shown by a few people on this board. Sorry if your dreams of your team winning the conference tournament just took a blow, but this is a human being we're talking about. I'm happy for you if you had everything figured out at age 22. Not everyone does. Trust me when I say I would be the most sympathetic and compassionate person to him and his situation if his jersey was blue and white and said Buffalo on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm not a BG fan, but I remember a few years back when a Ball State player killed himself during the season. Not saying this was an issue for Frye, as I have no idea. Just saying that a guy taking time off for his mental health (if that's what happened) is fine with me. This kid should not be stigmatized or made fun of. That's warped, in my opinion. I raised a son with a mood disorder, and I can tell you that it's pretty serious business. If you think being depressed is just someone being a baby, you are dangerously wrong. Sorry for crashing your board with my sermons. I sometimes come on other MAC boards to see what's up, and I was really upset by some of the comments that I saw here. I don't know if a sports message board is a place where it's possible to get people thinking about their attitudes, but I had to try. Peace, and I will leave you Bulls to yourselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred you raise a fair point. However, his conduct in the court has always been less than stellar. When someone conducts themself in the way Frye has, it is because they simply are a flamer or they have some deep seated insecurities. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If its mental illness, bowling green university has failed dylan Frye in many ways and it is much more troubling than what a handful of fans/students/players will say to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBlearns Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Honestly, I agree with this Fred guy. Mental illness is no joke. None of us know what Frye has gone through or what the backstory is here. At the end of the day, these players are people too. I hope UB routs BG on the court, of course, but I also hope that Frye gets (or has received) whatever help he needs. No need to bring personal stuff into the game.....let our guys' play on the court do the talking. Just my two cents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However having read the BG board on Frye it seems far more likely that he was pissed with the coach’s pattern of substitutions and how it affected him. Having watched him closely over the last four years this seems very likely as he always seemed like a pampered prima Donna on the court. Now if it is mental illness than of course the kid gets a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw this...he’s entering the protocol as a grad transfer with one year to play. Will be interesting to see where he ends up. Could be like Daniel Utomi a year ago.

DooleyBull06 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Let this serve as the model for guys like Jeenathan, Segu, whoever. This is what you do...you play your tail off for 3-4 years at UB then transfer to a major top team. Not leave after a year or two and get nowhere.

I wonder if he’s a starter on any of those teams or maybe just a solid 6th man. Haven’t studied his game too close to know how good he really is or anything so forgive me if that’s a dumb question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The BG forums called this early in the year and as @Kevin mentioned in another thread they essentially treated Turner as a senior on Senior Night in the Stroh Center 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a hell of a player and he deserves a chance to at least play in the tournament once. I want to root for him, just not in the MAC lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta strike when the iron is hot. He had a great season. Grad transfers don’t have to sit out a year. This works well all parties involved.

I believe if a kid graduates in 3 years he can do it as well. Its considered a grad transfer and you only have 1 year left to play The key is graduating as this fulfills the obligation of the student when they received the scholarship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
