The good news was supposed to be Sean Miller…sigh

I mean 5/6 of the young guys are likely returning? That is pretty damn good for this day and age. Shannon and Coleman have a chance to come back too
Believe it was Virginia tech. Either way hopes he stays, see him as a player that can develop into a 15+ scorer with 3pt and dribble drive ability. Also don't like the revolving door, we have 3 good freshmen and hope they stay.Didn't he decommit from Providence?

Julius Marble transferred out of MSU last year.
The year prior they had 4!!! transfers out (Watts, Loyer, Kithier, J.Hoiberg).
Someone needs to do their homework before posting.
It was Providence, not that it matters. I'm hoping the good news comes soon, meaning Illinois lands some impact transfers to get our hopes up for next season.

Where Epps is going?

Epps doesn’t seem to be, or want to be, a true point guard (which we need).
Which makes him a 6’1” shooting guard, which we don’t want.
If he were willing to be a backup combo guard, getting 20-25+ per game, you’d love to have him. But if he wants to be a 6’1” starting shooting guard who doesn’t get yelled at when he’s out of position on defense… then Champaign is not a good place for him.

I trust underwood to get talent, after Adam left Kofi entered the portal and Ayo got drafted i thought we were going back to being poverty but we bounced back. But i just wish we could keep talent
Just brought back my PTSD from when Kofi entered the transfer portal. WTF was that all about.
A guy that stayed 3 years and was getting 14 MPG a game his last year. Very comparable to Jayden Epps... yeah, no. Watch MSU return around 67 % of production next year. Gabe Brown (4 years at MSU), Marcus Bingham (4 years at MSU), Max Christie (1 and done to NBA), Jaden Atkins (2 and probably 3, maybe 4 years at MSU), Malik Hall (4 years at MSU), Tyson Walker and Joey Hauser (transfer reinforcements that finish out college with multiple seasons at MSU), Mady Sisoky (3 and probably 4 years at MSU).
That's what Tom Izzo's Spartan program looks like in the Portal era. Not fans bad mouthing a bunch of Freshmen that they were singing to high heavens a few months before.

yeah. Georgetown would also make sense
Plenty of proof that Jim Larranaga yells..... Look below
I'm going to abstain from choosing a favorite player for a while. Latched onto Belo his freshman year and now Epps.
Is it me? Am I too clingy? I can do better, just give me a chance! Don't leave me!

Maybe it doesn't matter to you but elite conspiracy theorists know that if he transferred once because Bryce Hopkins was recruited over him it could be happening again!
Not sure why so many think losing Epps is really that big of a deal. I would be a million times more upset losing Rodgers. Epps is easy to replace and honestly a true PG is what is really needed.

Lol, yes plenty, going back before Izzo my guy. You jumped in late on a thread and misconstrued my point. My point was in reply to highlight the absurdity of the metaphor used that BU's dress downs are puppies licking your face. And that "what about Izzo" arguments are wack, and no one should use it.

Guys with his knack for scoring are valuable. Early he seemed to have the calm and composed demeanor of a future closer. He faltered down the stretch but he had 16 ppg+ scorer a game written all over him. If he shored up his defense and got his 3pt % up over the next few years, that's potentially all big ten.
