Looks like he is entering the portal and the draft simultaneously. He implies he could go to another school with his additional eligibility if he is not drafted.
Personally, I wish him luck. At 6’6”, chance of becoming a dominant rebounder in NBA is virtually slim and none. He probably could continue his game oversea.
mudclods:
I didn't think DJ had another year of eligibility, at least that's what we were made to believe. Looking back at his career stats, he only played in 6 games (started 4) during the 2020-2021 COVID season. Not sure if he was injured or what. So maybe it was a deal like Garrett Covington getting a 6th year. It's just odd it was assumed and basically talked about that this was it for him.
We're basically to the point where if a school gets 2 years out of a player that's a lot.
guinpen:
I guess that even if he is in the portal he can always stay if he changes his mind. Either way I wish him the best

True, that is what Garrett Covington did for his 6th year, but he was a YSU lifer.
ucfpengbuck:
Didn't know he had another year. It's bothersome that he's not electing to stay so I guess he's looking at his options and I can't blame him. He can go pro over seas and get paid or with his rebounding ability he can go to a high major and receive a better NIL compensation than YSU could pay.
It's a new reality in college basketball and we all need to get used to any decent player that develops at YSU will look to the open market when the season concludes.
