Think it's at least a recent record, but J'raan Brooks has got to be a close #2.

Here is the full quote from Jaquan Sanders on his decision to decommit:
"My mom doesn't want me to stay in New York. She wants me to go to another place she knows I'll stay focused and be focused. That was really it. It definitely was a tough decision. It was really hard. Decommitting wasn't really on my mind at first, but then a lot of things started happening. It was sitting down with my mom and having a serious conversation about it."

I didn't want to mention this in his commitment thread, but I always felt Sanders committing here would 100% push someone to transfer eventually. Just seemed like not enough minutes to go around at the guard spots, especially since everyone wants to play right away and a lot. Hard to keep kids happy.L J S A post=440015 said:

This isn’t a 5* player. I don’t think it’s a big deal at all. He will find where he wants to go. Good shooter and OSL kid but aside from that we will be more than fine aside from time spent on recruiting him. Would like to see more athletic kids who can also shoot.
Let's not kid ourselves losing Sanders is a tough loss for the program. He would have been an excellent player for us from year 1. Understand he has to listen to his mom if that is the reason; wish him the best, staff needs to get in high gear now and I trust they will. Don't see this being related to Demeo suit at all.

This reeks of shadiness whether it be by Seton Hall or another program. His family just decided today that Far Rockaway is too dangerous to be around, but it wasn't 20 days ago? Give me a break. I'm more upset at him and his handlers lying to our faces than him decommitting.
I'm not too concerned with replacing him though. Whether it be by an impact transfer or maybe another HS recruit we'll get somebody. Good player but not irreplaceable.

While I do think it's a noteable loss and this being bad news, who was Sanders going to start over or take significant minutes away from next year? At the guard spots I don't see him beating out Posh, Mathis, Wusu, or Storr for a starting spot. I thought he'd be like 8th or 9th guy in the rotation next year, and be set to be a starter and major contributor starting in year 2.NCJohnnie post=440029 said:
Also, with the new transfer rules it's not always a bad thing if the kid doesn't immediately go to your school anymore, could end up working out when it's all said and done and he ends up a Johnny and we get his best years.
Kid is one of best players in the state, he's from Queens and plays at OSL, a school which we have a strong connection to
While there's nothing that we can do about this, and we gotta move on, let's not make it seem like it's no big deal that we lost him. Especially since it was a pretty big deal on this board when we got a commitment from him.
