I think it's really unfair to attack Travis McKie..He is the ONLY college player to ever play 4 years for Jeff [Redacted]..Think about that for a second. Poor guy.
I mean I may be off base but what a slap in the face to start your senior and your coach tells the team your only Senior will not be our Captain. Nice job buzz and its sad that Travis just said what the F..K, who cares. Well he plays every play like that.
If the guy actually gave some effort I would have a lot more sympathy for him.

The insiders on here have suggested that this was neither a surprise nor a slap in the face from Travis's perspective.
What is Deman up to nowadays?
Lord Wellman told some donors at a preseason banquet that McKie exhibited no leadership qualities so that's why he wasn't named a captain.
Given what Deman is these days, you can probably connect the dots and assume that the people inside the program are over Travis' lack of effort too. What an unfortunate situation for Travis and the program.
If this is true way to shit on the guy who could've (should've) split for greener pastures but was begged to stick it out and continue to play for his miserable hire.
You have that a lot amongst a certain crowd. Travis has sacrificed an awful lot to make sure that Buzz's cupboard was never bare. But, hey - fuck him.
He would've been forced to sit out a year so I doubt he wanted that despite the perpetual losing. He was really solid his first three years, but I can't figure out what his deal is this season.

Unless you're in Travis's head (or are Travis himself), then I wouldn't recommend speculating on what he wanted or didn't want. He was persuaded to return and he did. That's what is known.
Also - if you think that he isn't very good this year, then he wasn't very good last year, either. The writing was on the wall for this kind of burnout, if that's what we are going to call it at this point.
He's shooting a career-low from the field and beyond the arc. He's been serviceable defensively this year so I'll give him that. But when one guy plays half as hard as the other four guys on the court, it doesn't help the team too much.
