Actually, IMHO, mostly a bunch of people who cannot just state their own opinion and leave it that, they want to argue and argue about it. And that goes for folks on both "sides" of this.
Here's what I know about McNeil

Agree. You can't force kids to want to play for you.
If restrictions are all you have to keep kids form leaving, you have bigger issues to worry about.
We're better off (as fans) letting go of this kid and focusing on the players that are all in.
This is big boy college athletics. If you are a good athlete who actually wants to see the court then 99% of those kids get it and agree with the decision to leave. Nobody but Prohm and the player know what happens. 99% of kids that leave go to another school with the help of the previous staff and end up actually seeing the court and getting a free education..What's the problem exactly?
Players know that if they don't make the cut they could be cut loose. Just the way it is. Sports are played with the intention on winning. Fair or not? That is just the way it is.
As for McNeil, cut him loose. Maybe he found a better fit for himself.

This is the perfect example of why Hoiberg said bye-bye to college athletics. Don't blame him, recruiting is exhausting and I'm just a fan.
So no one but the player and Prohm know what happens, but you know 99% have help and want to leave? Gotcha.
Then why sign a LOI??? Just never sign and go to whatever school you want in the fall. You signed a contract and you should honor it, if you have any doubt - never sign it and allow another kid have that opportunity
I didn't realize Amardi was pushed out for Kane, that's unfortunate if it happened that way. (It worked out well for ISU, of course, getting Kane).
I don't see any parallel with McNeill, though, if it's a schollie situation, we still have 2 openings even if he stays, it's not like he'd be forced into pay-your-way status unless some unexpected major signings are in the works.
My opinion: see if you can talk him out of it but if that doesn't work, cut ties 100%. blocking B12 schools would be my preference but I'm not close enough to the situation to get bent out of shape if he's not. I literally don't care about Cal at allActually, IMHO, mostly a bunch of people who cannot just state their own opinion and leave it that, they want to argue and argue about it.

Then every kid should be given a 4 year contract that the school can't cancel.
Well he also happened to punch his coach and give him a nasty concussion, Armadi that is. Not quite apples to apples.
Is no news good news at this point? Good news in the sense that Prohm has him at the very least rethinking the situation?
Since Darius has made it public already that he wants a release, I was expecting that it would be granted the next day or two. The fact that there's been no official word, makes me think there's still a slight chance he stays. If his mind was completely made about leaving, even after conversing with Prohm, it would have been done by now.

No idea. It would be awfully sh!tty to take away an 18yr old kids scolly 2 weeks before he's set to arrive on campus. Grad transfer doesn't bother me as much. They have plenty of options, and ya know, they've already graduated.
Does everything have to be so hardline around here? I think we all agree that the ethics always depend on the specific situation, and that NCAA rules don't provide great solutions for all parties, and that the business of D1 basketball is harsh. We'll know more about McNeill shortly. Maybe let this rest until it's settled.
Agreed. For both sides. I'm fine with that. Just saying, 1 side gets punished and 1 side doesn't.
Actually the Big 12 now has full cost of attendance and multiyear scholarships. If a player doesn't choose to leave, they can stay on scholarship even if they aren't playing. That is, as long as they remain in good standing as a student, and eligible to play.
How many Monte's have we come across this past 20 years? Yeah, 1. If he doesn't want to be here, cut bait.
