I still don’t understand why he is leaving based on this. The highlight film was good but I watched him play. He is a 6’9” player that plays 15 to 20 feet from the basket and his inside post up and inside the paint defense were nonexistent. I think he thinks that because he can hit a few 3 point shots that makes him more of a threat. I watched 6’3” guys eat his lunch all season down low. Who does he think he is kidding? If he goes to a bigger school, he will ride the pine like he did at Kansas or wherever he came from. Xavier Cork was much much better than Petrakis. The crown superimposed on the video at the end is laughable. He was a below average 6’9” guy in the SoCon. He will move on into obscurity where he belongs. Someone is giving these kids bad advice. I hope I am wrong and he sets the world on fire. Someone is going to get a 6’9” forward that thinks he is a 6’0” guard. Lol. Could it be the coach?

I don’t have any visibility into the situation inside the locker room. I do know that 31 percent of all D1 basketball players have entered the portal and some schools like Western have seen the same amount or more players that Western has seen enter the portal. The Coach needs to be respected and he can’t allow one player or a group of players to dictate playing or practice time. The coach needs to be in charge and the players need to understand that. So I don’t think any of us know “if it is the coach”. Saying that would be spreading unfounded rumors.

He's not in the portal and will have to sit out a season if he does make a move.

Who knows what he's doing, but Joe did retweet Jake Lieberman's post about him entering the portal

Unbelievable…..Price to West Alabama He wants to start and be a superstar so if he goes there he can be the best player on the team. We don’t need him if he does not want to be part of a team. Price played significantly less minutes than a lot of players and still was a difference maker last season. If half of the team is leaving… is it because they want to be super stars or is it because they do not want to waste years of eligibility sitting on the bench?

Joe played a lot this year out of necessity, but he's probably looking at reduced playing time, too. Marcus is kind of the head-scratcher, he probably just thinks he can trade up.

Speaking of Marcus, if he trades up, it is because some crooked coach somehow contacted him and told him he has a spot for him. I doubt he will trade up unless there is funny business going on. If he put his name in the portal and did not have a guarantee hoping to move up to a P5, then that was a foolish move on his part. Mid-major basketball is pretty much the same no matter where you go. Also, Coach treated him well and gave him lots of playing time for a Freshman. He is not very loyal because he played a lot for a freshman. Probably got some bad advice from a well meaning adult in his life who does not understand the workings of the portal. He could end up in the big south or even the sun belch which are both a big step down according to conference rankings.
