He graduates this Spring and wanted to walk with his graduating class. He has another year or two of eligibility and has said he wants to return.

That said, we have to take a hard (and heartless) look at this roster. As he will have his degree, I am fine with moving on from Kyle. His calling card is defense, and in fact he is decent at that when covering opposing guards. When we play a 3-guard lineup and he is matched up against a forward it is a different story. At 6'2" he all too often gets over-powered.

Offensively, he is a man without a position. He is 11th on the team in shooting percentage and 9th in 3-point percentage. As a distributor, he has an assist:turnover ratio of 14:23.

He seems like a good guy and is a fan favorite because of hustle, but we are going to need more than hustle. As we have more schollies to work with next year, I am fine with Red keeping him around and giving him pizza $$$ for NIL. We do need a designated defender until such time as the portal gives us a better option. However, he is never going to be an impact player and if Red wants to change course in a meaningful way, Kyle is one of those guys who is expendable.
