Juan transferring

Juan has been released to be closer to home.......wow

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Rats.

Really like him as a player and I think there is good upside there.

[jesmu84]

WTF? Better hope neither Blue nor Jamil decide to roll the dice in the draft. Looks like more JUCOs headed our way as we're going to be without some upperclassmen shortly.

[4th and State]

Wow.  can't blame him at all just a little surprising.

[JakeBarnes]

Rats.

Damn.  I loved his energy and passion.  Really thought he would have been a heck of a player next year.  

Any thoughts on who might be filling his scholly?  Tarik Black?  Others?

[GoMarquette32]

Tarik Black...come on down

[Golden Avalanche]

Very surprising.

Dammit - I'm a but Juan fan

[MUfan12]

Sounds like family reasons-

"I really enjoyed my time here and learned a lot that will be beneficial to my life after basketball. My family is very important to me and moving closer to them is something I need to do at this time."

I bet you are.  hey-o.

[wojosdojo]

Not too surprised just because he told one of my friends (who is close to him). He's thinking of going back the California.

[GOO]

Not really surprised.  He would have to make a nice jump up this summer, which he could do, but if he didn't, he might be 3rd at the PF position. Taylor was already showing as much or more and may be out starter next year.  Then a first team Juco coming in would make it tough for Juan.  He either had to stay and fight and hope, or cut bait.  

This explains our interest in Tarik Black...?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Wow...just wow. Did not see that coming.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

I bet you are.  hey-o.

Oh man autocorrect. This would be a pretty interesting way to come out tho.

Good luck, Juan... I'm gay.

[4th and State]

I think we all really appreciated Juan's energy and passion, but really not that big of a loss.  he's always reminded of Fulce...more of a glue guy.  Regardless, this just means more time for Taylor, Mckay, Burton.

[CAGASS24]

Son if a bitch; really though he was going to be a solid core player for the next two years

[CAGASS24]

Man it is a real struggle to build a program these days without guys staying in the team

[Silkk the Shaka]

Damn - really like Juan and he always seemed really into the team on the bench.  Thought he could put in some work this offseason and be a really valuable player junior/senior year. Hope he finds a place he can get tons of PT - he deserves it.

[tower912]

This one disappoints me.   I believe him when he says he wants to be closer to his family.    Good luck, young man.  

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Seriously not a player on the team I liked more.... but honestly net our talent will be upgraded from this year to next. Hopefully we get a solid Lockett-type guy to fill the spot.

He sure does.  Plus he'll have an extra year to bulk up in the weight room so I expect him to have success wherever he goes.

[Eldon]

Good luck, Juan.  Hopefully everything works out for you.

[GGGG]

That really sucks.  

[nyg]

Juan only played basically the first two minutes of each half towards the end of the season.  Probably was not going to change this upcoming season.  Wish him the best.

Guess a Cal, San Francisco, Sacramento St., type school.
