It's complete speculation at this point, BUT considering this delay in them announcing a landing spot, I think it's somewhat warranted.

He cleared that up and assuming he didn't Jon Quick it last year I don't see grades being an issue with him transferring into Georgetown if they really want him.
I legit just LOL'd at this. Still remember him zooming by me in his Jeep Wrangler, with music blasting, as I walked to class and he was on his way to Manchester, NH to start playing in the AHL.
Looking forward to the 2022 UMass Football Season (Oh boy, just jinxed that one)

Need to find a landing spot soon or they might lose their chance to transfer again as a 4 year graduate ! Already missed Summer Session I and getting close to Summer Session II.

Let's just hope they don't mess up their college careers and can't find the right landing spot. Best spot for them might have been where they already were.

I somehow always get the impression that Deeky drive the bus and Brison goes along for the ride. I will Brison had stayed.

Yup, me too. I liked Brison and wish he stayed but he wants to play with DJ, so I wish him well. I'll follow his college career

i get the impression that Deeky has been told and thinks he is way better than he actually is. Basically thinks he is NBA talent instead of a guy that has raw talent. Lets just say he had a seriously inflated view of himself and thats probably why he's not here anymore.

I can see why MM never panicked about the transfers and went and found his kind of players.

Some of you folks are worse than the Red Sox owners when a player leaves town.

Before he arrived at UMass in the summer, he was tweeting that he was a "one and done". Sadly, we saw that wasn't true.

See MM's comments on the "back of the jersey" vs. the "front of the jersey". I liked Deeky and saw a lot of potential, but he too often tried for the spectacular play instead of the smart play. FWIW I still would like to see Brison in a UMass uniform this year, realizing that there aren't any scholarships left.
