Haven’t seen any as of now. The article that was put out was very vague.

The word I've gotten 3rd hand is he wasn't pleased with what his role was going to be with the Prep School, so he wanted to come back home.  I'm sure there are a myriad of factors that really only Jake can answer, but 3rd hand from someone at Holy Cross, it was mainly due to his role on that team in Atlanta for this upcoming year.

Yeah, kind of what I figured.  Very hard to go from the big fish in a little pond to the little fish in a big pond.  Better get use to it, could happen at next level.

At 17/18 years of age, girlfriends "back home" are another issue.  We were all there once, right?

That's a pretty lame duck excuse.

Especially when it is fairly well known he had been told he would be 8th on the depth chart.  

It is his decision, just like de-committing from WKU, he'll have to own both and they are certainly his decisions to make.  I'm just glad he is back in NKY, will make area hoops better, and should make Kentucky better in their border war with Indiana in the spring as well.
