Kyle has lost his passion for basketball and it's a mutual agreement for him to leave the program

Important info on our program gets to us “fans” via un verified sources. SID must be on vacation
Young has to find a program where an aggressive style of play is OK

I sure hope we don’t see him play against us. He has great motivation to hammer us.

Is this official? If so, it's a big loss. Liked his energy and aggressive style of play. It's the responsibility of the coach and staff to motivate and channel the players. This looks like a failure to do so and seems to continue the escalating trend of player departures. There cannot be stability in the program if there is no continuity in recruits and staff.Cause for concern.

If this continues then I would agree that it is a problem but these are unprecedented times so willing to give the coaches a pass on all the departures this season since that is the norm around basketball with Covid and the new transfer rule. This is Carm's chance to show what he's made of as a coach. All his guys now and a lot of talent on paper but won't mean anything until they can produce on the court.

KY also seemed like a very emotional young man. Nothing wrong with that but it does make me hope that this is just about the game of basketball and he’s doing ok mental health wise as that is the most important thing here.
The 2 new incoming bigs may surprise us as Stormo did. Baer sounds like a hard worker who is accustomed to much tougher competition and Tertsea seems like the best athlete of the bunch so who knows….maybe one or both will prove to be valuable contributors? If not, you gotta start seriously questioning Carm if he burned 2 scholarships on guys who can’t play with so much talent available in the portal.

For what it’s worth, Kyle Young played 8 minutes a game last year after being taken out of the starting lineup midway through the year.
We return the guy ahead of him on last year’s depth chart added two centers around him. He wasn’t going to play much more this year.

This is disappointing news. I loved Kyle’s intensity on the basketball court. I find it troubling that he has lost interest and hope that he is okay. Best wishes to him.

I wish Kyle well (pretty obvious he’s not coming back) but when you do this now and not in say June. (even that’s kind of late) it’s on you not the coach. Heard good things about Baer we need 8-10 minutes from him backing up Stormo.

Baer's brother was a hell of a hustling player who went from walk on to a big contributor at Iowa. Seem to recall our guy as only a garbage timer. Where does one hear reliably about how any player is doing? My son -in -law is a former teammate of Kyle Young's father. Maybe I'll hear what that story is all about.

It is not clear from any of the posts where all if this about KY leaving is coming from. He is still listed on the team's website roster and I have seen nothing reported outside of this blog. If he does decide to leave I think the Saints will be fine. While he does play with passion and an edge at times, he has also shown to be out of control sometimes. IMO to date he has shown to be an average MAAC big man at best and I think his stats reflect that: www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/kyle-young-4.html. If he decides to stay, great. If not, Carm will make adjustments and the Saints will move on without him.
