    I suppose it's at least possible that he didn't like having teammates that were complete and total assholes.

    I guess I could see that...maybe Miller will get him.

    He's from Oakland, so a pretty good piece from Tucson. Perhaps Stanford. Or maybe he wants to go play for the premier basketball program out west and will join Mark Few's squad at Gonzaga.

    BTW, the Google machine has alerted me that Oakland to Tucson and Oakland to Spokane are within 10 miles of being the exact same distance. Far.

    Wait, What? Do you mean to tell me that UCLA is not the premier basketball program out West ?

    It was until sometime this year. Something about earlier this year seemed to knock them down a peg. They don't seem to stand as tall anymore. Their stature among top programs suddenly seems more diminutive.

    Weird with Akinjo, but a lot of the theories here make sense, wanting to go back home, and maybe not wanting to be teammates with assholes or feeling they're getting screwed, but I think Georgetown did due dilligence before announcing this, I think they're still looking into it but gathered facts and aren't railroading these guys. I'm just more so surprised that it was originally just LeBlanc and Akinjo reported as transferring considering Gardner and Alexander were in the report.

    Unpopular opinion: Dez got exactly what he deserved. He committed sexual assault (removal of a condom without consent) and admitted as such.

    Without re-trying the case--I agree 1,000.00 Percent

    And Xavier avoided a Title 9 nightmare. It hurt, but Dez was stupid, and wrong.

    If I was Akinjo I would be pissed about how this was announced at the same time when it appears he was not involved in any of this nonsense. Apparently for whatever reason he just wasn't happy there.

    I don't think there is anything to the guys feeling like they got railroaded, as it still seems like Georgetown has not officially done anything and there have been multiple police reports filed so it is not just some random accusation. If anything it seems like Georgetown has done way less then you would expect any other team to do in this situation.
