While it might be the case, we also heard for the previous to offseasons that Santi was gone, and that never came to pass. I hope he stays.

My recollection of the Vescovi rumor was just that there was the possibility that he could leave, not that it was likely. Speaking of which:

Pack was thought to be destined for Purdue when he entered the portal, he is visiting there today and it’s his only scheduled visit, we will see what comes of it.

I'm on the fence with Key, honestly, especially coming off of a shoulder injury. He has a lot of "old man YMCA" to his game that I'm not sure how it translates to the SEC. To me, there is a significant difference in athleticism between Murray and Key, and Murray has proven his athleticism at the SEC level. Both have awkward-looking perimeter shots, but it seems to work. The additional 3 years of eligibility is a plus to me, as well.

I'm not sure anyone is arguing for Key over Murray, but to me, there is a significant drop-off from Murray to Key, so like you, I'm not entirely comfortable with Key being the consolation prize if Murray ultimately chooses Georgetown.

To me, Murray adds much more value. He’s tough, hustles, takes that rock to the rim. I think Murray has to decide if he wants to play for a proven winner with a chance to win big, or wants to play for a program which has been a nomad in the college basketball world the last decade plus.

Also, Georgetown drew 5,040 for home games last season in an off campus arena with UT drawing over 16K at TBA. Which of those environments would be better? Facilities, fan base, excitement of SEC games, one program trending up and the other going in the opposite direction, potential NIL $…..just don’t see why anybody would pick Georgetown

With basketball more than any other sport it seems that some kids have in their head the argument of, do you want to be a fast car racing other cars just as fast every night (being on a team with studs all around ya competing for minutes every practice) OR do you want to be the fastest car (being the star on a team with less talent, but your numbers and minutes are going to benefit even if ya don't win much)

Or he wants to help turn around a program that is much closer to home (he is from Baltimore).

Not every kid that chooses to go somewhere other than UT is running from competition. He committed and attended LSU which had plenty of quality players and talent.

But he’s also bailing on LSU now when he could help turn that program around.
