    I mean, you know you aren't making the NBA, not playing minutes on a Big East team, and your dad is pretty successful. I could see trying to ride it out somewhere I can actually play for a few years before doing whatever I really wanted to do with some random business degree. Really was strange he transferred here in the first place though, insane that he got a $2mil NIL deal, I don't think I'd want that on my team either personally.

    He was at Tennessee state. Not exactly Duke. He had surgery and then made a big deal about the quality of the medical care. So he transferred mid year to Xavier and has since decided to transfer again.

    Too much drama for a Tennessee state level talent

    I thought I remembered reading the NIL deal was tied to him attending a HBCU. I questioned if it still existed when he transferred here. Who knows.

    I mean that's kind of what I'm getting at to a point, I didn't know about the drama (also hope he got surgery somewhere other than Tennessee State with a millionaire father, I'm sure he can afford the Hopkins bill lol) but like if you know you're not really that good, I'd totally be cool with being a walk-on, getting some gear, and the semi-perks that come with it. Still insane to me that it was a $2mil NIL deal though, like I get having a famous dad, but sheesh.

    Unless Hercy’s medical procedure was “Talent Enhancement Surgery” I don’t think he would have fit into Sean’s plans.
    Another example of Steele just taking anybody in who he could get?
    Throw that wide net out there I guess.

    He was a walk-on, I'm not sure any walk-ons are a big part of Sean's plans.

I'm guessing probably not because we've now have, in addition to Boum, Kunkel, Tandy, Coby and Desmond , all in the backcourt. We look deep---again. Last year we looked deep and by the end of the season we were playing an eight man rotation. Somehow Miller has to keep all the guys happy and that is going to be tough. Still I'm certain he will do a far better job of it than Steele.
    Word on Madness is Boum has arrived on campus, hanging out with Craft and Claude. So, when did Boum pull out of the Draft? Or did he?

    I kinda doubt that either one of the backcourt Frosh can crack a Miller 8 man rotation come January, if the returning guards stay healthy. So, if Jones becomes a full time backcourt guy, or at least reduced time at the 3, team 101 should have the top backcourt in the BE. If Miller does plan to see Souley slotted at the point, and he can produce at a high level, this looks to get very exciting.
