Wesley Johnson transfers to Syracuse
It's official, per the Des Moines Register.
Hopefully this means we can end the ongoing Wesley Johnson saga. He's an Orange, or an Orangeman or something now. He's not a Cyclone once he decided to transfer in such a strange manner.
I'll cheer for him at Syracuse, as I have a much easier time understanding a college kid having a tough time deciding on his present and his future than a gaggle of disgruntled Cyclone fans wishing ill to a player who represented the team with class and gave his all on the court while on the team, which seemed to be more than at least a couple of guys could claim.
Jim Boeheim and the Orange faithful will get a guy who still, when healthy, was one of the top players in the Big 12 conference. Despite an itchy trigger finger, he's still oozing with athletic ability.
People will be silly to think we won't miss him, much like Mike Taylor. His lackluster year (by his standards) can be attributed to his bum hoof.
I hope that Cyclone fans can now forget about taking every opportunity to badmouth Wes, like on the Register's comment section, or at CycloneFanatic. It just looks like sour grapes. If Brock Jacobson left in this manner, no one would have given one or two shits.
Let's close the book.

Cheer for him?
Part of me thinks that makes less sense than cheering against him. I don’t wish him harm and I’m not going to root against him but I don’t think his departure was handled very well and honestly that did affect my opinion of him. Now he’s just gone. Good luck and we’ll both move on…

Yeah
I’m certainly not asking anyone else to cheer for him.
However, I do think some fans are a little too over the top pissed at the guy.

I agree with you there
There’s no need for any of us to take personal offense due to the whims of a college kid.
I do hope things work out for him, I just wish it could have been at ISU. Oh well.
