Really think next year he will explode. Maybe he wants to be in a situation where he is more of the “guy” then here where there are many “guys”. Trying to improve draft stock. At any rate, it stings. I really enjoyed watching him especially towards the end of the year.

No, not a direct shot at all. It's the world of college sports in 2021.
He struggled last year and considered transferring. Penny got him to stay. This year, he had more struggles.
He's a west coast guy and I'm guessing he ends up back out there. Maybe comfortable surroundings will help his mental and consistency issues.

But you don’t think in anyway this is telling Penny that his program is not good enough to get me to where I want to be? If he believed Penny was the best person to prepare him for the league, why does he go?

No, not at all.
Look around college basketball.
Dook already has 3 guys in the portal. Is that an indictment of Coach K?

Were these 3 dooky players ones that had major playing time, or even starting positions???

One was a senior, part time starter getting major minutes.
One was a freshman rotation guy.
The other was buried on the bench.
