Per Adam Zagoria....The first of many defections either to the pros or elsewhere IMO.

One of my favorite names in college basketball. Not a surprise.

^Only surprising to me because he's going to be a senior. I guess he's willing to give up a year to have a shot to go out in style. :idunno:

UCONN is banned from the tournament next year so he doesn't have to sit out as a senior...

Looks like a nice move on his part then.

I know they're banned from the tournament. Are you saying he'll be able to play wherever he ends up without sitting out?

Yes that is the NCAA rule. If your team is banned from the post season you can transfer without penalty if they are banned for the time left on your clock. 1 year ban and seniors are free to go. 2 year ban and juniors and seniors are free to go. If the ban holds up through appeal he can go to any non Big East school and play right away...

Yes, as long as nothing changes with their punishment.

Any thoughts of where he will land?

 

Not sure yet. Some rumors that Iowa State will be involved...

I wasn't aware of that rule. What if the player is the cause of the ban?

It's the NCAA. It's never the players fault. Ha

Usually I think the NCAA has a lot of things wrong, but I think this is something I support. I'm glad he can get the most out of his senior year.

They are already becomming "Transfer U" so might as well......

As long as this rule is just for Seniors then I can be on board with it.
