Past simple

He decides to in the morning, clean out his locker and move on.

But let's be honest with what it is, all right?

Alright, so he what he do, he quit his team.

I see you were in that fancy brotherhood sweatshirt today, and I understand that.

That was a nice, shiny New York City PR statement that came out of Duke.

The guy the guy quit his team now, whether whether he was gonna play or not what he should have done, it said, You know what?

You've got the world class Medical center in world class doctors, right in Durham.

I'm not right, but I'm gonna stick with my guys.

I'm gonna come and shoot up in terms of put on my travels.

I can't help our team in the position I'm in now, so I've got to take a step back.

The other thing is, let's face it, Jay, you know it as well as anyway, because you've seen it.

You're close to a lot of these kids, all right, There's so much pressure on these one and done kids.

There's so much unrealistic expectation, they think, just walking from high school to college.

And if you just walk in and all of a sudden you become the guy, well, it's just not easy.

And that jump from the college to the N B A and the world's most exclusive club is that much more difficult.

This is a lot harder than it looked like.

My numbers are what they were supposed to be.

I'm seeing my draft stock maybe potentially dropped.

I'm going to protect myself by quitting now if he didn't feel like he was playing enough.

If you feel like his draft status was going down if he wasn't playing to stay there next year.

You have to do everything in your power to conserve and actually dictate what that narrative is.

It may not make it right from what we like to see in college basketball, because I understand what the Brotherhood is and you know, the fighting that I have my family.

But it's a It's a different age in different day, and he has to do what's best for him.

Look, I 100% agree with you on that 100% of that.

I'm gonna be a general manager, all right?

You're considering you're taking out into the fact Yes, you are factoring that into your decision.

And and he basically wasn't playing winning basketball, All right, that's just that's playing it simple.

So this is, by the way, he's not gonna be the first guy that does this.

You're going to see this in the next three weeks.

Could become the College Bowl season, so he's the first one to do it.

But it's gonna become to College Bowl season two things gonna happen.

Jay will tell me if I'm wrong right here.

You're going to see either guys that still have eligibility.

Our NBA players are going to opt out, put their name to transfer portal and get ahead of the curve.

That's gonna happen in the next three weeks.

Teams that are not in the running for the NC double A tournament, and you're going to see guys that say, Wait a second.

The problem is, what does Gentlemen Johnson protecting?

Because the manner in which he did this and how he did this if why was he playing the last two games?

If he was not 100% why did he step on the court the last two games?

All that matters that he chose to protect what he wants to protect.

At the end of the day, that's his own prerogative.

I don't think the narrative will be following Jaylin Johnson.

I think If you want to take into account, how does this young man deal with adversity?

I think you can use those data points to factoring to your decision on whether or not you want to draft him or how he handles playing in, Um, it's hard competition.

I think that's a narrative, but I don't I wouldn't make the narrative that he's quit.

He's making a business decision to take care of his family.

We all know his goal when he went to do was to get out of there after one year.

He's had some injuries, He's been nicked up, banged up coach.

And and the best thing for him to do is preserved his body right now.

And you say there's gonna be other guys that opt ill.

They should if they're not going anywhere.

Coach K can't promise you that you're gonna have an opportunity to take care of your family.

He can't promise you that that you're going to stay healthy, but what you can do is promised yourself you could stay healthy by not putting yourself in harm's way.

Seth, let me ask you this with the way he's playing, cause I've been watching a lot of games and I've been deep into college basketball.
