I know it’s in the recruiting forum and in the lineup thread but might as well put it its own.

Seems like a decision that benefits both parties. Wish him the best.

From the Chicago area but wonder if he joins his twin at St. Thomas

Seemed like a good kid, but just couldn’t imagine him ever getting serious minutes here.

I think he’ll essentially still be a freshman (might be listed otherwise) at his new school, so that’ll be a good situation for him to start over.

Good luck to him.  Hope he is able to get playing time wherever he winds up.

Only two other players i might recruit over if I was coach. I don’t know if he was a hit or miss but may J-K have the best of luck going forward. May you go average 20-10 in a couple of seasons and make us regret losing you. Just bring your bad performances vs Drake.

Great young man! Maybe best to go DII or DIII.

Probably just needs to put on some weight.

Drakey

I thought that when he first came to Drake.  But, if he hasn't put on any weight in 2 years, just not sure it's going to happen.

Good luck JK! Hope things work out for you!

Here we go Bulldogs, here we go…

NW Missouri St system would be awesome for him, but I think he is still D1 caliber

I think NW Missouri State is better than about half of the D1 programs.

I saw NW Missouri State during the title game....not sure he could get minutes there.

He could, better player than the Illinois players recruited there. Shocked Evansville let the NW Missouri St coach leave. Slow Paced but high efficiency. I know their coach was interested in the Drake job, wonder what other schools would he make the jump. UNO is open right?

UNO was filled a week or two ago by Chris Crutchfield.

I'm very confused by the Evansville reference in your post.  I can't find any link between their coach and Evansville.

I thiiiiink he's referring to the D2 Tournament being in Evansville this year. Saying that they should have canned Lickliter and pursued McCollum while he was in town.

I never saw him playing at this level.  Good luck to him.

Moving forward.....

Yep, D2 tourney was in Evansville, Todd still has his job? Thought he was gone

Yes, he’s still there. I think Evansville is going through an AD transition, which is probably affecting things. Previous guy gave him a vote of confidence but I don’t know if they’ve hired a new AD yet.

Well if they keep him they won’t have any players left. And Lick can’t work the transfer portal at all. This is an absolute joke what’s happening over there. Honestly the Vslley President should have a serious talk about them. They’ll be lucky to win 2 games next year if he comes back.
