Shaka Smart, if you read scoop...

I hope James Jr. feels the same way.

I hope the 14 projected scholarship players for next season feel the same way.

I'd be shocked if he's not back.

My Shock Meter Ratings
preseason "MU has 18+ loses" 10/10
now "James not retuning" 8/10

So I do agree with you, but it would be less shocking than this season. So I'm not ruling out being shocked.

Like I always told my kids, your face is going to freeze like that.

I'm actually afraid it might if the 14 projected scholarship players for next season are all there to start the season.

I thought you were unShakable.

I would love to have as much retention as possible.  But we've now seen what happens when your senior class is average to below average and your junior class is a complete zero. 

I'm not a fan of telling a kid who wants to be here to pack his bags.  However, RGV is useless without the "V" and I think we need two open spots going into the offseason. 

We have one with Zaide's departure.  I'm not sure why Sean would want to come back to play 10 MPG behind Nigel.  There's your two spots and we'll see what happens with Hamilton and Norman.

Thanks Rocky. Shaka needs to do a 180 quickly to get the casual fans back.Yes and thney are better with a whole bunch of transfers.

...but we have superior talent according to some here. Yes a 180 would be appreciated.

If the coach is not going to cut them why would any of them leave if they're being paid and getting a 70+K scholarship. You really think they'll wind up better elsewhere?

It's certainly a possibility, especially for Tre and Caedin. 

After all of Sean's injuries, I could see him wanting the opportunity to actually play extended minutes.  I could certainly see a mid-major giving him that chance. 

If he doesn't play again this season, I could also see him trying to get another year of eligibility (but not sure how likely that would be).
