Where is he going? Please don’t say the transfer portal. Knock on wood, but first of all, it appears that Jesse really likes it at Syracuse and is having a great time and playing really well. Second, I think you’re gonna see less kids like Jesse, who are already stars, transferring this season. There’s now a wealth of cautionary tales of players who went into the transfer portal and have done worse at their new school. I mean, we’re talking guys whose stats have been halved at their new program. Exhibit A: Remy Martin going from Arizona State to Kansas. Exhibit B: Marcus Carr going from Minnesota to Texas. Both were top 5 transfers and have been disappointments. Heck, the entire vaunted 6-member Texas transfer haul, including Tre Mitchell and Timmy Allen, has been largely a disappointment. All of them were top 30 transfers. We even know one of these examples well: Quincy G. Coaches are going to use these cautionary tales when their players start talking transfers. Not all all will listen but some will.  It’s really hard to go somewhere new and learn a new system and culture. Last year shows that’s it’s about a 50/50 chance that it works out. I think it’s gonna give a lot of players pause.
