Not surprised he chose to transfer, but bummed. I understand there may have been chemistry or work ethic factors at play; I know absolutely nothing for sure one way or the other on that score.
I think DJW transferring will have an impact for this season for sure,bigger than the absence of JCL because we lost a 6'7 wing who has a lot of potential and would really help at the 3 if DaW redshirts. A 3 rotation of MA/AJ/DJW is really nice. However in the long term, adding a guy like THT and having him develop is better. Plus, if he doesn't want to be here then whatever!
