I don’t get why we didn’t keep him and get one of the others unless he wasn’t interested in coming off the bench. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Assuming you are talking about Aden, all indications are he was MIA after the tourney. Sounds like he didn't want to be part of the team anymore. I hate that and don't know why he would feel that way but I could see the staff not wanting to keep him if he acted that way.

If you are talking about Tre, I think they would keep him if wanted to stay but if he truly blindsided the staff with his portal plans, they may be okay with him moving on as well. If you hit the portal, you are indicating you haven't been able to work out your NIL or playing time desires. That's fine and I wouldn't expect the staff to beg him especially if he wasn't up front with his intentions.

In both cases, it seems they didn't handle their post seasons very well. It's unfortunate but recruiting can't sit around and wait.
