I’m not sure I understand the the harsh criticism of Shack. The fact that he is not a strong NBA candidate does not diminish the contributions he made to our teams success last year nor alter what he could contribute this year. He hustled, surprisingly strong as a rebounder and lane driver. He wasn’t perfect but the team will miss him if he doesn’t return.

He has until the 7th to remove his name from the draft and talk to CNO.
I with you on that, Shack was our leading scorer I think and gave great effort.
I wish him luck, but will hold out hope he returns.
Get your old shtick out of here tigger, its really worn out, even the guys on the bunker don't care for it.
I don't understand why people take it personal when a player does something they don't like. Shaq may be limited athletically but he played hard and was far from just a spot up shooter. Petty was another guy who in my opinion did he best. RTR to both of them.
He's entered his name in the transfer portal. Haper was saying the other day that jadens dad dosen't mess with oats.
Started 32 out of 33 games last year and 51 of 64 in his career... 14.5 ppg over his career. He had reached his ceiling... but this is a loss, no other way around it.
Its not shocking that a great go to athlete like Shack might want to transfer to a UCLA or even a USC. He's a Californian. He'll want to sweeten his NBA stock next year with an 18-20 point scoring average. In Oates'system he led the best BAMA team in recent history with a 14 point average. Doubtful he could top that with the blue chip rotation competing for playing time and no doubt geting it. He's a major loss because he is an experienced SEC champion. I don't like the transfer portal, but it is part of the world we live in now.
His move is logical, not emtional in my opinion. Best of luck Shack!

Shack played his worst game of the year against UCLA...that game I’m sure did not improve his Stock among Pac 12 teams.
His team won the SEC, leading scorer, I think, and, yet, he wants to transfer ..
Those are all RED flags
And his dad is a locker room lawyer..

Oats don't take any shit. So if there was an ultimatum about playing time or wanting some kind of promise I can see why it was time to part ways. Shack was a hell of a player for us the last few years and appreciate all he did. To me Shack would have thrived with JD and JQ driving and drawing the defense in and kicking to him in the corner or on the wing knocking down threes. Maybe minutes and shots would be down some but he would be part of a damn good team. Basketball team is in great shape and we will move on and win with the guys who want to be here.
