He will make the formal announcement next week after spending the weekend at home in Orlando.
Yeah, that was the impression I got as well. It seemed as though he improved a bit toward the middle of the season with regard to looking for open teammates.Bob Green wrote:I'm not sad to see him go. IMO, he never bought into the "Team" concept so it is better for the team that he leaves.

His only lasting memory will be the shot over Zeller. Not a bad memory, but hardly compares to what others will be able to look back on. This almost feels like William Avery all over again. Except that Avery's family was in an entirely different economic situation. Kyrie leaving early made sense last year. Neither Mason or Austin leaving does IMHO. But then, we are all allowed to make our own choices.Ima Facultiwyfe wrote: We're in for a dry spell, but I'm still not sorry to hear that Rivers only temporarily dropped anchor and is rollin' on.

As for being in a dry spell, it started this year and will continue for a couple more. Lots of good players that will positively impact the university, but no premier athletes or players once Kyrie left.
