I think no matter how you slice it, the DNG transfer had to happen. I think the staff held out as long as they could hoping to gain clarity around the 4/5 spots but you cant go into next season with DNG as the starter, you cant turn away Reid or Basile, and it would be unfair to DNG to push him out after May 1.

To me, this signals that we wont hear about a commitment (to VT or elsewhere) from Basile/Reid until after May 1.

OR it means theyve both already committed, which is much less likely.

I think VT views John Camden as what they wanted DNG to be. Someone who could play both 3 and 4 due to length and shooting ability. DNG could really shoot it out of HS, and I really hope he regains that touch. A new scene will hopefully do wonders for his confidence. He just couldnt put together in the game what was seen in practice. Baby KD never came to fruition.

VTs roster at 4/5 had DNG stayed

4 - Mutts or portal replacement/DNG/Camden

5 - Basile/Reid/Kidd/DNG

If you look at the 4 spot, someone who can stretch the floor like Camden would only be a matter of time before he passed DNG (as long as Camden picks up the system). Then DNG is buried deep at both spots.

The alternative is that VT doesnt take both Basile and Reid....so who do you say no to? Choosing DNG over either would be a mistake.

The third option would be missing out on one or the other (or both)...and thats why I think we wont hear until after May 1, because if you think either will choose another school prior to then, then you absolutely bring DNG back.

Id bet the door isnt shut on DNG, but it probably depends on whether VT gets Mutts, Basile and Reid.

I think VT is done with losing players. Now it is time for additions. Would love to see VT get Mutts, Reid, Basile and a wing. If so, this could be the deepest and most MY-esque team of his (albeit short) tenure
