Okay, that one is a little bit more real.

Indeed.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

If it's true - and I suspect it is - I wish him luck at his next stop.  He's been a great player and a great representative of Marquette.  This season he handled a very difficult situation as well as I've ever seen a player handle it.  There's no doubt that his role this season must have been a disappointment, but he took it in stride and was there when we needed him.  Everything I've seen about him reveals a young man that is mature beyond his years.  I'll miss him next season, and hope he finds a great fit.

Heck, a few days ago he was in tears over the program.  I don't see it happening and where would he go?  Join Sandy at Green Bay....?

Unfortunate, but I think it's the right move for him.  Handled a different, and reduced role with class and maturity and will leave with a diploma.  Hope he tears it up wherever he lands next year.

Lets be real, he needs more playing time to make his impending jump to Europe. He has a kid to support and its coming quick. No hard feelings, probably the best option for him personally. Best of luck Swaggy, you did us well.

Or, again assuming it's confirmed, he could be seeking a basketball paycheck now.

Disappointing if true. I suppose maybe he never quite fit what Wojo wanted, but he handled everything with such class, and seemed to have a great opportunity next season, so I thought he'd be back.

If true, that means all of Buzz's players will be gone. It also means 68 minutes per game have opened at the 2/3 positions with only Cain coming in and Anim returning. Could be a big opportunity for a grad transfer.

He did say "transfer for my graduate year" in that screengrab of a snapchat.

I don't know how someone will pay him a big paycheck.  He played 15 minutes a game and averaged like 5 points.  Maybe some lower level Europe team, but the money will be very small.  If he goes, hope he transfers to mid major and enjoys one more year and see what happens.  Leave now, don't see that.

I'm not gonna post another screenshot (and apologies on the prior mixup of my buddy who announced he was retiring from the MLB) but someone sent me some of Duane's cryptic snap quotes from last night and it seems pretty damn certain.

"It's always business, never personal"
"I put my pride to the side and sacrificed everything just to see my brothers eat.  Never complained or cried about it once. Embraced it and rolled with it chin high."

Isn't his account Swaggy D or something?  That one posted isn't even close to that.

For those that missed it and did not read the first page of the thread. Attached is his post saying he will be grad transferring. Makes no sense to jump to the pro's now. He needs more exposure and playing time.

The screengrab posted is more certainly his snapchat account.

Probably right.  Wonder if UWM might be a good option?

I love that this might all be fake and the imposter is doing it all on Snap so the majority of this board can't figure out if it's a hoax or not.  This is PEAK Scoop.  I'm so happy to be here.  I will NEVER transfer!

Snapchat, Twitter, social media stuff.  Let the young ones on the board figure it out.  Figured MU would have made a statement by now if the kid was leaving.  Sit back and watch.

Not saying its not impossible for someone to doctor that, but that is his username.  Just seems strange he hasn't posted it on Twitter or Instagram if he's really doing it.  My guess is that will come before too long. 

Bummed about this one.  Love Du, and thought he would have a nice role next year.  But I get it from his standpoint.  Realistically we can upgrade on that roster spot, but his senior leadership would have been nice to have around.
