I'm shocked that he'd show his face...and/or wouldn't get booed out of the stadium.  Being a grad-transfer is one thing, but leaving your girlfriend and a starting role for a Top-25 team is equivalent to burning a bridge, especially when it's a matter of NIL and playing for a team that shouldn't have qualified for the tourney last month.

Oh let's not pretend that Tommy didn't choose Slo-Mo over Henri in the end. They couldn't co-exist and it is sad as anything, but Tommy takes the blame for anyone who transfers out to a 5* program.

This isn't like Hee-Man Akot, Dylan Anderson, Batcho, Borovician, Adama, and the many others who went to lesser places... even Paulius (who went to the best school of all of them for basketball)

This is UNC and they didn't pay Henri to come sit on their bench. He's a true impact player so really look at the guy who couldn't get the impact player to stay.

Between Awaka, Veesaar and Krivas, there's 27 minutes per game to each player, assuming Henri has rotated between the PF and C position.

They could have coexisted but this sounds more like a money-grab.

Awaka's rebounding and defense both improved as the season progressed. Henri's offensive game flourished but he and Townsend never showed an ounce of improvement as the season played out. Lloyd has to assume that Krivas is the only true center with the ability to stop anybody in the post next season.

Meant to say that Veesar and Townsend's "defensive games" never improved.  Both were stellar on offense.

Can't agree overall. The whole 27min thing is plenty of minutes, but if you're going to tell me chose Awaka as "great value/walmart brand" money over Henri then that's absurd. You have a team like this, in this position, you pay Henri. That comment makes me think Tommy is pocketing the NIL and willing to play with less.
