If he were to transfer, it would be more likely to happen in this offseason since his academics are at a natural crossroad. If he's serious about a master's degree, it would be easier to start a program at a new school than start it at Ohio and uproot it to transfer elsewhere.
I don't disagree - just going off the fact that he's NOT in the portal. So, either he's going to start his degree here, or maybe this just answers my question. Maybe he's fully on-board getting his next degree from OU so we have nothing to worry about. I'd like to think that was the case but you never know.
We have a chance to be something special over next two seasons, but we need BVP to be apart of it.
This is where the problem with the MAC is most glaring. It's a one-bid league unless you get a team like Buffalo had two years ago. And those type of teams are very, very rare in this conference. True, Ohio could become pretty good over the next year or two. But it could also very much find itself lumped together with the other 10 MAC teams sitting at home come NCAA Tournament time too (it's actually a much more likely outcome to be honest). And that is why you are seeing more and more guys leave for bigger-named programs in bigger conferences where they stockpile NCAA teams. A decent team in the MAC finds you sitting at home in March. But a decent team in the Big 10, ACC, SEC, Big 12, etc., still gets rewarded with an at-large bid. The MAC just can't compete with that or offer players the much high assurance of making the tournament. It sucks, but that's the reality of what we're up against.
