It’s peak scoop. A troll talking to itself, Herm asking the troll questions and other assorted nonsense
Where did I say it was the only reason or the reason? He went to MU because his mom was sick. True, factual. Nice try on spinning out of this one. No dice.
I’m confused about why some are so certain there was something more nefarious about Deonte transferring.
Are we that hard up to paint Wojo in a negative light we want to dredge up the death of his mother and convince others there was something else despite his own words?
The kids mother dies and he’s in a world of hurt and transfers. Five years later, it’s still a referendum on Wojo. No one knows anything other than what Deonte said. Amazing

Not "the" reason, "a" reason or "one of the reasons". They don't mean the same thing. If I said a reason or one of the reasons that Chico is successful is luck I would be correct. Even you would grudgingly agree. So, true, factualIf I said the reason that Chicos is successful is luck it would create a false impression - one that is not true.Obvious distinction. "The reason" implies the only reason. "A reason" acknowledges multiple reasons. This was covered in grammar school - perhaps you were daydreaming.
I agree with you. He 100% wanted to transfer. Some percentage of that, likely the majority, was wanting to get away due to his mom's death. The other percentages are anyone's guess.However, where do you fall on the "Wojo threw deonte under the bus" topic?
I don't know, but my guess is that it was more mutual skepticism than anything as nefarious as that.
Buncha people who don't and never did know Deonte debating what was going on in his mind 5 years ago.Scoop at it's dumbest.

I rarely vent frustration re: anything Wojo has done, but Deonte is an exception. In his 8 games that sophomore year, he had one with more than 20 minutes. For a weak team. It was frustrating for me, as someone who had touted Deonte as a likely future NBA player for years. If he had been playing 'normal' minutes relative to what I think he should have been at, would that have changed his decision? Don't know. But, I can't get to a place where I think his role on the team didn't factor into the equation whatsoever.
