Jordan King in the Transfer Portal

[knicksaint]

As of a couple of minutes ago.

Did not see that one coming.

[hardwood]

Nooooooooo

[hoopdad]

WHAT?? That one makes no sense.

And yet there it is:  verbalcommits.com/players/jordan-king

twitter.com/jking241?lang=en

There has to be a "story" here.

Team has a lot of guards...I assume a convo during the end of year interviews sparked this.

Another kid probably getting bad advice.

Nice player but shouldn’t be playing 30-35 minutes a game. Maybe Carm has more guard talent lined up?

Jalen, AC, Hopkins, McCallum there’s a lot of competition there.

Aw I like JK. this stinks. And it's not like he didn't play. Even with new guards coming in, they're freshman. Wouldn't you think,considering the defection/injury of guards this year that Jordan would see year 3 as an opportunity?

Seems odd he came here to be a 4th guard, wound up getting to be a 2nd guard, and now isn't willing to go back to being a 4th guard. Any possibility he has an existing relationship with the new Albany coach? Tough to come up with many other reasons.

We'll see where he ends up. If you've only ever lived in Albany, there's a 100% chance that if you can get out of Albany and go see other parts of the country, you'll be interested. Could just want to see what else is out there for him.

[hoopdad]

I really am not interested in speculation on this... want to hear from Jordan and Carm on why?  No BS just give us the straight story on why a major contributor this season who went from preferred walk on, to scholarship player, to 3rd team all MAAC decides to leave the program? 

[marshotel]

Bummer, I enjoyed rooting for King. Best of luck to the young man.

[SaintsFan]

im thinking carm may have locked up another player we have yet to hear about.

he may also just be feeling things out to see if there is anyone out there that would take a look at him.

Yeah - this one was a shocker.

"This has nothing to do with basketball," King said. "I was very happy basketball-wise. There's just some things going on with my life where I feel I needed to step away from Albany."

Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Good luck Jordan!

Imagine that.

I thank Jordan for his 2 years at Siena-- and hope Carm has a transfer in wings that brought this transfer about- otherwise doesnt make much sense
