Couple things to take away from the hawkcentral article:
1) "If they had, I don't know if it would be acceptable for me to announce it," Lickliter said. "But no. This is the first I've heard of it. And I usually don't comment unless somebody signs their name to something."
Are you kidding me? The guy basically came out and admitted that someone is going to transfer and then follows it up with...."but no" and then continues to dig the hole with the "I usually don't comment unless somebody signs their name to something."
Try and put yourself in his shoes for just one second. If a reporter asked you about transfers and there was absolutely no truth to the rumor, what do you think you would say? I sure as hell wouldn't have said anything even remotely resembling his response.
2) "I kind of changed in the second semester last year on my study habits and stuff," Tucker said. "I'm trying to stay away from the advanced courses. That's probably a good idea for me, at least right now.
What advanced courses are you taking as a freshman? you take the prereq's unless you clep out.
3) The biggest one of all: "So it's not like everyone knows what to do and we're just incapable of doing it." Playing the young card is getting old. He's saying pretty clearly that they don't know what to do. That's pretty sad when you are 10 games into the season and are just about ready to start playing conference ball.
