Dedan entered the transfer portal

Didnt we figure this when he "got injured" and couldnt finish the season?
He is a good player and i would have beem fine with him if he came back but i am not loosing any sleep with him gone.
Too short to make a serious difference at this level.

I like this move for DJ. He should go maximize his NIL payout. Career earnings in basketball end up being a brief moment in time for many. I am grateful he chose to stay home and be a Rebel. Looking forward to another Dedan donning the scarlet and grey in 30 years.
 
Called that one to play out exactly as it played out a couple of weeks before the actual, cough, cough, injury.

Spare me talks of loyalty, of legends. It’s bullshit.
It was obvious that half of the UNLV team had already quit and were all looking at fake injuries so that they could continue to get their NIL money while doing nothing!

They should fix this sort of thing in the future. If you're being paid, you're a pro. If you're actually injured, that's one thing, but if you choose to sit out, you should not receive any money for those games that you've chosen not to play.

I don’t get how DJ turns into the problem child by so many in the know on rebelnet? There were more people who liked Katin Rheinhardt around here than DJ!

Dedan Jr was not the problem, the former coach was and I’m so glad he is gone now, no more Mr nice guy or his lame attempts to run the hoops program. And as for being a nice guy, who cares, he wasn’t running for homecoming king! Lol

Hallelujah Kruger ball is dead around here!

Short memories + apathy + general regret he was wasted.. this season he was leading scorer, but missed some big time opportunities that cost the game in the clutch moments. Coaching definitely didn't do him any favors. Best PG we've had here in decades, the type of PG we wanted for years and our coach tried to turn him into the hero baller that he had leaned on his first 2 seasons instead of building a better team around him to allow him to be the PG he is...
 
Dedan has a lot of learning to do and I don’t know if leadership is something that can be learned or not but he’s a good point guard that needs a lot of talent around him to succeed. Good luck to him.
 
On Thomas he's small, not great athlete, poor defensively, but he's good college player, good coach with talent around him he will do well, however he's so small big guards will always kill him. Wish him the best!

If Harper hires good coach, he will decide who's good enough to be offered back.
 
Well Zero surprise here. To come right out of high school a year early with all the lofty expectations and thrown in leadership role right away and to be expected to be the savior of the team was just a little much. Especially with Kevin and able to get him no help essentially . But a serious problem in today's landscape. To even get anyone to sign you got to promise all the playing time and almost complete control to the point where it hurts the team. Is it worth it to pretty much turn over the keys to the entire team. Oh sure will be a perfect fit now but will be somewhere else. I am really not the least bit surprised at this end result. I am shocked how bad Kruger actually was. Cannot get over.

In the past you would expect loyalty, which includes keeping players, but now that half the players are transfers, and there is zero loyalty, let them all go and pick whom you want!
