Do not contact? Why enter ??, maybe he will change his mind. Was just not consistent this year.

So, if no one can, contact him, how is he going to transfer? The kid has great potential but his head is still in CA.

“Do not contact” means he already knows where he’s going.

It's not like that at all. He did it to open a roster spot for the team and make it to where he can come back if he wants.

Can't blame him as he wants to check out all $$$$ options vs pro offer. Wouldn't happen if he didn't enter the portal.

I can blame him for not throwing strikes. That's why he's in this situation in the 1st place.

Or he's very satisfied with his new payout and is required to do so under the terms of his new agreement.

He was so up and down this passed season. You didn’t know if you were getting Thatcher Hurd or Hatcher Turd. There was no in-between.
