Gohkan Sirin to transfer

http://www.charlotte49ers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=23200&ATCLID=205136071

Sirin is leaving after 2 years with the Niners. It’s obvious he wasn’t a fit for Major’s style of play.

Best of luck, Gohkan.

I’ll be the first in the thread to chime in with the obligatory “We all saw it coming.”

Best of luck, Gokhan.

Goodbye and good luck.

Yeah, this was the most obvious transfer ever.

He’s not a bad player, though. Can at least shoot, which is better than some of our ‘specialists’ have done. Good luck, Sirin.

Well, that’s two open schollies now. Lets see what we can do with it. Best scenario would be a big guy who can play next year and maybe a high talent transfer who has to sit out.

sweet, another schollie

Sirin will do fine at an App State caliber team

Good luck Sirin. I still think you can become a decent player if you keep working on it.

wow…please tell me this was sarcastic… ???

Glad to hear…although I hope it works out for Sirin as well! We all knew this wasn’t working nor did he fit. I honestly don’t think this kid is even D1 material but many would disagree with me.

I wonder if he’ll use the transfer year to bulk up some. That’s what I’d hoped Sirin would do for us, but oh well. He’s a talented shooter. In my view, his best position would be to play pf on defense (with a bunch of added muscle) where he could better deal with the opposing player’s speed, and more on the wing on offense where he could stretch opposing defenses. Good luck to him.

Can’t say as I blame him. When your team is down to 8 scholarship players, you’re one of them and a sophomore and still get no playing time, it’s time for a new program. Don’t know all of the details or circumstances, but if I was in Gokhan’s shoes and desired to actually get some PT I would leave also. I just hope we avoid scheduling whichever school he transfers to.

Looking at D2 or going back home.

My instinct says if he didn’t bulk up with us he isn’t going to do that for other teams. He was a good shooter and very tall. It’s simple, he just needed to work on his defense and gain muscle. He was a little better on defense last year…maybe… but he didn’t look like he added any weight at all.

We need physical players. I am glad we are recruiting physical players. I hope they are as mentally tough as they are physically. We need that.

Looking at D2 or going back home.[/quote]I would think that he could at least go to a low D1.

Looks like you were right.

This. Maybe he doesn’t want to sit a year, which would by why he’s considering DII? His game may have had big holes, be he could be a solid role player for somebody.

Good luck, Gohkan. I’m sure you can become a Super Saiyan somewhere.

Nope. He’s right. App State would have been smart enough to hire Chuck Amato. Therefore, better.

Keep fighting the good fight, finalfourtyniners.
