I'd be curious to know the source that leads you to believe that. This is a new announcement but not new information. Him being committed to leaving, however, would be new information.

No mention of maintaining eligibility in his official statement.

Honestly...he deserves it.  Got so overshadowed here and he was arguably the most important piece.

Next man up! Good luck OMax!

For those wondering about the source, himself

Certainly reads like a goodbye as opposed to leaving the door open. I'm excited to see what move Shaka makes now.

Best of luck Omax!

So who in the portal is the best option to backfill OMax?

Markusquette

It's both good and bad for MU. His style of play and size/versatility makes him the best NBA prospect. My comp earlier in the year was a young Jerami Grant which I still believe is a good comparison and obviously a best case scenario if he gets drafted and pans out in the league.

His Twitter statement sounds a lot like a final thank you and good bye.

Without going into the weeds, I can confidently say O-Max is definitely retaining his eligibility.

Grant lived at the line in college. Omax gets there, but 3s are a big part of his game, but not Grant's in college. Grant put up solidvtevound %'s. Not OMax.

Matthew Cleveland, Florida St.  Top 15 recruit and great numbers at FSU.  Probably a major blue blood.

Just once I would like one of our fringe (being generous here) NBA guys to stick around one more season. I know that's a lot to ask, but just one time would be nice.

Alright Brew.  But do we have an auxiliary plan? 

CountryRoads

If Omax leaves, I still say bank the scholarship unless there is a one year plug. Joplin and Ross will make big jumps next year anyway. Think we'll have a great recruiting class in 2024.

Coleman

Time to hit the portal. But regardless of what happens there, its a huge opportunity for Joplin and Gold.

I think we'll be fine.

Shaka has know this all along.

He's planning accordingly.

Viper

...this could be a great opportunity for Ben Gold. If BG steps up, then Shaka backfills for Gold, in a sense. To me, Gold has more high-end than Omax. Omax returns? Awesome. If not, not necessarily a gut punch.

I'd be shocked if OMax got drafted this season. I think he will go undrafted and probably get a G League deal or a 2 way deal.

I do think he will get to the NBA. I just don't think it will be next season.

Selfishly I would have loved for him to continue to develop under Shaka at MU. But he can develop in a G League setting too, while getting paid. I don't necessarily see this as a mistake on his part.

Joplin and Amadou, the same way they allowed OMax and Joplin to develop.  Really like Al's game.  He's got a lot of OMax in his game, just needs to develop a pro body like OMax.

Next man up.

I know, but that's who will be replacing him.

Joplin/Amadou maybe a little Gold at the 4. If Oso also leaves then I'd imagine they try and find a portal Center, but Joplin is the guy at the 4.

It's happening! Ben Gold's All American year is lining up nicely.

If I wasn't a good enough source, Ben Steele just confirmed O-Max is maintaining his NCAA eligibility.

I'd say he's gonna be gone.
