This is a lot like the movie, Crash. (If you haven't seen it, do it tonight.)
Crash is one story: that contains a bunch of other stories hung together by a thin thread.
JQ hitting the portal isn't a shock. It was unexpected as to how it happened. But ...
Money, and a few other things ... just, "boom." There it was.
That my understanding.
On that note, from my view ...
He was looking at reduced minutes but not because he was being "passed by." I've heard people point to Estrada and say JQ was passed: they don't play the same role. No, bring the same threat is a better way to put that. CNO has a few guard combinations he can floor.
I'm told to watch what he is taking at his new school with the suggestion it won't be the same as Alabama. I know what they were insinuating but I don't know how required progress is measured with grad students.
It's my opinion he needs to look overseas. A decent year at his next school and he should be able to grab that opportunity.
