I have to assume Branden's move is equivalent to transfering. He could see his role was likely to decrease this year. His father also has a lot of experience & connections playing in Europe.
But, man, I wish he'd at least consider us as an option. (Then again, I'm not sure we'd be able to promise him much, either. He was definitely over-hyped in HS, & I'm not sure he's guaranteed anything in a wing rotation involving Harding, Lowell, & George. He certainly wouldn't play any at the 2 for us, imo.)
