Deshaun Parker is out at App State.

Based on how he played this year I’m guessing it was a year to year scholarship and he will be recruited over. Could kind of see the writing on the wall with this one. Relatively speaking he’s one of the few guys who really thrived under Lou Rowes system at JMU.

Parker may find a new school (at a lower level) where he’ll get to play. That’s his apparent motivation. Going to college and earning a degree has always been secondary. In time I believe he’ll come to regret leaving JMU. Wish him the best, but there’s truth in the old saying “youth is wasted on the young.”

I don't think it was his decision to leave jmu unfortunately.

Last year I thought he may end up at Cleveland State. Former JMU assistant Rob Summers who recruited Parker to JMU is the head assistant for Dennis Gates there and Parker is from Ohio. He showed promise as a sophomore at JMU in terms of getting to the rim and quickness off the dribble and so thought was maybe you work on his shot and he becomes a solid Pg but he really regressed and lost his confidence this season. Hopefully he finds a good fit and settles somewhere.
