Wow, totally shocked. Although I thought there was a chance that he might leave to pursue an academic transfer to further along his academic career, I never thought it would be to pursue professional basketball. For those who know him personally, does he have an offer to play somewhere already? If not, wouldn't it behoove him to play 1 more year and be a starter and main contributor on SBU? Of course, I wish the kid well, as he's a class act, but I'm somewhat baffled by this decision. Please fill in the cracks here, if anyone has firsthand knowledge of the situation.
