So, after seeing recent tweet pics of Whitman posing with a professional trainer, then signing Kansas tee shirts at Self's basketball camp, I couldn"t help but visualize the choice:
a) toil for another year in a William and Mary grad/undergrad program and try to balance that with playing my last eligible year,
or,
b) spend my last eligible year exclusively devoted to working out and advancing my basketball skills, while living in a resort.
I still strongly believe there is something to be said for loyalty and gratefulness, both of which were inexcusably lacking here in how the departure occured, but if you wanted to focus strictly on basketball development, William & Mary will never be the place, and that should never change.
Regarding summer school, I don't see that as an issue, since rare will be the case in which that alone affords most players the ability to graduate in three years. The NCAA changes a few years back which allows up to eight, weekly mandatory hours of staff involved training while enrolled in summer school (for which two hours/week can be basketball instruction) is a valuable asset for a program. Redshirting I doubt we will ever see again, though.
