Lovett started off, after shaking the referees' hands, by looking up at the crowd and blowing a big kiss and holds his arms open. He looked as enthusiastic about being here as anyone on the team. I could be wrong but nothing in his body language indicates that he wants to leave. We'll see.

There was one point in the game after the double techs that he was chanting "Let's Go Johnnies" along with the crowd. Even clapping in rhythm.

If he leaves moves ahead of Larry Wright on my all time list of players I was upset that left early. Not best just order in which it upset me.
1. Berry
2. Artest
3. Harkless
4. Wright
5. Cook
6. Porter
7. Barkley-this low because you knew he was leaving
8. Jordan
9. Mcleod
10. Sampson
Always love the Paultz avi
.... but really a done deal ??
If this is a done deal, and he's gonna replace someone we don't want to lose, it's going to stink that he'd miss the non-conf games and getting adjusted to game play with the team.

Or even expendable or disposable.
I have no idea what LoVett's plans are but for those pointing out the fact he looks happy and engaged as an indication he is staying beyond this year I just point out that being happy now in the moment and leaving after the season is not mutually exclusive. He could be figuring even though I'm leaving let me enjoy my time while I'm here. That said I certainly home he stays.prjohnnies

I'm of this view as well. The kid clearly loves being here. But he might also be weighing whether he should start earning money after the season, given his age and folks around him urging that. I don't believe there is any risk of him transferring to another school. It will be to remain here or start making coin. On the latter, I hope those "advising" him understand that there are many benefits to staying in school and working on your game. That may be a better option than playing for $40,000 in some random euro league, in a different country, away from friends/family, and against grown men who have more developed games and bodies.

Any developments here? Presumably this kid needs to enroll somewhere soon for second semester.
I was wondering the same thing.
I know a transfer needs to sit out a year (two semesters) but not sure if they need to be enrolled during that time.
Would assume a kid would to get acclimated to school, team etc.
Spring semester starts on 1/16 for SJU.

If the kid is going the Juco route as Paultz' avatar suggests, I think it's safe to assume that there is an issue with his grades.
