And Like That...He's Gone

by Sean Keeley on Apr 15, 2009 6:16 PM EDT

Throughout this very brief but very depressing Jonny Flynn-goes-pro ordeal, Ryan Miller has been the go-to source for current and correct information and the only one with a direct line to Jonny. That direct line has led to an exclusive interview with Flynn, who has officially inked a deal with Leon Rose and will go pro. The full interview is yet to come but Miller posts a small tidbit:

"I hope the fans can understand where I'm coming from. It was a hard decision but hopefully fans won't have a bad feeling whenever Jonny Flynn's name is brought up. I loved college basketball and loved representing the city of Syracuse."

At this point I think we've all accepted this was happening (except for Boeheim). What concerns me know is...Jonny's been a pro for a couple hours and he's already using the third person? Slow down, young fella. Look for the rest of the interview tomorrow at The Orange Segment.

Bye, Jonny.

Yeah...

We all knew a few days ago he was gone. But you using that phenominal clip from a fantastic movie just drives it home for all of us. See ya around Jonny. Take care.

Good luck Jonny

Of course I wish he was staying, but you can’t begrudge the kid. I think he’ll always be remembered fondly by Syracuse fans and alums, as he should.

I was still holding out hope that Boehiem could change his mind. I hope he fares better than Greene, who is riding the pine for the last place team in the NBA. Would would have been next year if Flynn & Greene had stayed?
