There is no HUGE issue. He cannot under any circumstances play this year. The family medical hardship was badly abused in basketball and is no longer in place. Only remaining issue is whether Syracuse will grant a release. By policy a player must request permission to talk to another school before even discussing a transfer possibility. This obviously did not occur. Thompson's actions impact his ex-teammates, coaches and the unknown grad transfer or prep athlete who may have had the opportunity to attend Syracuse had Thompson been completely up front with Syracuse. (Assuming this is not a sudden family health issue that just popped up in the last week.) There should be consequences for not living up to commitments and responsibilities. Barring unknown circumstances - and granting benefit of the doubt as there may be some - Syracuse's refusal to grant a release prohibits Seton Hall from offering an athletic scholarship for 2017-18. I would be disappointed if they do not withhold that release at least until Thompson talks to the staff, explains his actions and is put through a legitimate exit interview.
