The grad transfer gate swings both ways.

It's hard for us to get graduate transfers for academic reasons.

Does it? Have we ever had one at W&M?

Knight is turning into a dynamic post player. If he keeps improving at the rate he did this year, he wasn't going to sit much next season. There's also the chance that he wants a grad program that we don't offer. WM doesn't have a huge selection of grad programs, and only a few of them are nationally recognized programs.

There's a first for everything. Now would be a good time.

If we lose out on Bruniga and Calixte, we are in trouble. We may have to borrow WBB Rendle to play post for MBB.

Wow! This hits hard. Jack is my favorite Tribe player not already leaving.

Makes you never want to redshirt anyone again.

Did not see this coming. I'm really nervous for this team next year.

Something that can be said about Tribe basketball every year...

Winter is coming.

While I think he has the potential to be very good, due to conditioning and fouls, tough to see Knight playing much more than 20 minutes a game next year. Maybe 25 at most. There was no shortage of post minutes, even with Knight's improvement.

Knight picked up at least 3 fouls in every single one of the last 13 straight conference games, committing at least 4 fouls in 8 of them. Tough to stay on the court when you foul at that rate. Plus most teams at the college level like to rotate their bigs anyway.

this... is a bummer

Sorry to see him go, he was a big contributor this year. Will be curious to see where he ends up - just don't go to UVA Jack! Perhaps this will end up as a blessing in disguise, since this opens the door wide open for Nathan.

Sorry to hear he's leaving you guys. Knight will be big for you all next year.

Maybe he wanted to play in the CBI? Seriously though, what the hell is going on in the Burg? First Pemberton decommits...then Seacat slinks out of town...then Schlotman leaves a year early...and now this. Maybe playing for a school that seemingly offers no chance of ever participating in a NCAA tournament, largely due to a shoestring budget, is mentally draining after awhile.

How do we even know this is legit? Who is Jeff Goodman and why should we believe his site? If true, it would be nice to hear it through official channels (I guess the announcement will be three days late like it was for the new AD).

Jack has retweeted other posts of the Goodman tweet, so, legit.

We all easily forget how hard four academic years at W&M are, and most of us couldn't wait to be done with that gauntlet. If there is no W&M grad program in line with Jack's plans, then, when basketball is put into perspective, it is easier to understand why a hard decision would be made to move on. Certainly don't think there is any incentive that odds would be in our favor for next year's team to be the one that breaks down the door. Wouldn't be surprised if it was discussed with the staff well back, and left for Jack to make the final decision after the season was over.

Both Jack and Mike have been anomalies as redshirt players for W&M basketball. Both took redshirts due to injuries. As more common as it may be to redshirt elsewhere for development reasons, after Paul Rowley, I doubt we will ever see it at W&M except when there is a medical issue, or a transfer requirement. Would bet odds are very high that next season is Paul's last in a Tribe uniform. Hopefully, like Cohn, we'll see Milon for a full three years.

These are all bright, young men that make well thought out decisions, no doubt with full support from Tony and staff. Just hard for us alum fans to let them leave the nest.

I still think Jack's two handed monster slam over Gustys last month was the most tittilating play I've seen in all my years coming to the Hall, based on the surprise factor alone. I was really looking forward to seeing him take his play, more often next year, to the level of that couple minute stretch he had in that game. He'll be missed. He'll be missed especially by Nathan Knight, by not being able to push each other in practice, and the off season. Not good for Nathan.
