[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1535324, member: 666858"] I was pretty surprised initially, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I think most of us believe that Miller and Curbelo will take a significant portion of the minutes vacated by the losses of Ayo and Feliz. DFW isn't going anywhere, so Alan was already looking at a similar role as last year. As fans we don't really know what to make of Hutchison or Grandison, but Alan is in a position to know exactly how good they are ( or aren't). If one or both of them is poised to fight for minutes, he could have potentially been looking at a smaller role than last season. This is before we even consider the addition of Hawkins and any potential transfer... Its going to be a dogfight for minutes every day in practice. Couple that with his family being on the east coast, and likely not able to attend more than a couple games. (bro @ Duke, sis @ UConn, dad in Toronto, mom in NY) It makes a lot of sense for him to find a school out east where he will get some more usage and showcase his abilities. I hope to see him excel somewhere. (Ideally outside of the B1G) Thanks for the memories. [/QUOTE]
