Just got a phone call saying that Hadley is leaving.

I kind of saw that coming as it seems to be the way business is done now in the sport.

I really hope we don't lose anyone else in the offseason. I think the group has a chance to turn into a really special team over the next couple of years.

Yeah he put his name in the transfer portal.

Apparently he was influenced by outside people just like Andre Weir was.

It’s too bad. I really wanted to see him get more time and I think he would have next year.

I was high on Hadley. He's a guy who scored fifty plus points in a game before transferring to basketball factory Cretin-Derham Hall and having a great senior year. To me, it seems like the Gresham situation. He saw Tyson coming in the following year and realized Tyson was going to be our point guard so he left to go to a team that needed a point guard. Hadley's position was two guard opposite Tyson but his problem was that Walters blossomed and for this year and next year he had a roadblock ahead of him. He didn't want to settle for scrub minutes for half his collegiate career. .

I hope this doesn't hurt our CDH pipeline but is this our third CDH recruit that didn't have a happy ending?

As you said, Red left because he saw Tyson coming in and he was graduating and took the opportunity to play for a Power 5 team his last year of eligibility.

I don't think it has any impact on CDH. Besides, we can still get players regardless.

Probably true.

Transferred to St. Thomas (MN), a program that's transitioning to D1 next season.

Well, there should be plenty of minutes available for him.....and Hadley is back in Minnesotta.
