Yeah because a guy who averaged 6.2 minutes per game would transfer because he thinks his coach is leaving. I hope you meant to put a s/ on your post because where do you expect for Buzz to leave to? Georgia Tech? Valparaiso?
So we have 3 openings with the loss of Pierce, Outlaw, and maybe Wilson.
Sad but not unexpected. He could be a force down low at a mid-major program if he improves his ball handling. I wish him all the best.
The NCAA has limited powers of investigation and enforcement. The NCAA cannot force testimony with legal penalties nor criminally punish the offending parties. However, in this case of violations the state of North Carolina became involved and using the means of the state investigative/criminal system, was able to thoroughly investigate the actions. The legal door was open to the state when then tutor Jennifer Wiley Thompson steered UNC football players to sports agent Terry Watson, resulting in four charges of athlete agent inducement. As she acted outside the bounds of North Carolina law governing sports agents

"In 2013, grand jury indicted Jennifer Wiley Thompson, a former tutor in the Department of Athletics, for steering UNC football players to agent Terry Watson. Nyang'oro was indicted in December for accepting $12,000 for teaching a class that never met.Both had their charges dropped by Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall after agreeing to speak with Wainstein about their involvement in academic misconduct at the University.Woodall also agreed to forgo pursuing criminal charges against Crowder because she agreed to cooperate in the county's investigation. At the time, he said Crowder agreed to provide Wainstein information for his report. "That was absolutely critical," Wainstein said about Nyang'oro and Crowder's participation.He said all previous reports, while very well done, were handicapped by the lack of access to the two key players. "Without them, you couldn't really get these answers — the answers we needed," he said. Read more: http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2014/10/wainstein-report-reveals-ext... from The Daily Tar Heel

Well thanks for trying big Satch. Good luck wherever you land.
For the team future of the team this could be very good. He wasn't developing at all, and opening up a scholarship for a transfer could have a big impact next season.
Wish all the best for Satchel. Hopefully he can go somewhere and develop into a good player.
I doubt it. Kids transfer all the time for a large number of reasons. Satchel probably wasn't happy with his playing time and didn't see more coming in the future so he decided he could further his career better elsewhere.
Thank you to everyone in hokie nation for your amazing support. This was a very hard decision to make. pic.twitter.com/RpJGB2JGtT— (@satch1032) April 6, 2016
Does he expect Buzz to be leaving?
That pretty much shut 'er down, eh?
Edit: missed reply.
Y'know...y'know...damn, that's a good idea, isn't it? Good thinkin', somebody call Whit.
satchel is transferring, dont have enough legs to make a new post
"While Wainstein's team had difficulty determining a precise number of how many students were impacted, the report said more than 3,100 students received irregular instruction in the Afro and African-American studies paper classes. "While that number very likely falls short of the true number, it is as close as we can get to a definitive total without engaging in speculation," Wainstein's report said."

They are not "tracks" my good sir, they are legs
:
Are you trying to imply that Princess Bride is a movie for girls?
He lists VT and UNC as his top two at this time.
No no no no no! I just got that song OUT of my head, damn you!!!!! What's really sad is that I can't even watch *this* version without doing callbacks.
I believe that was Steve Sobczak....but I agree with you. Leg for a good movie too.
Time Warp you say:
Me too. Was this a day/night double header?
Time warp problem here.
SOMETHING SOMETHING PLAYER ARRESTED SOMETHING SOMETHING JIMMY TURK
Kind of weird seeing that there is a big hole behind Blackshear and plenty of playing time available at the 5. He wasn't developing where we had hoped but I thought he could still improve for next year enough to contribute. That mid range shot was looking nice too. Either way, good luck Satchmo and thank you for giving me those Notre Dame tickets last year.
