Bingo. If Josh leaves UD, this is probably the driving force. A better chance at winning in the tourney elsewhere in his final year. He absolutely has something to prove at the college level, probably more than just about any player, because he was a shell of himself when he played in the tourney. What player doesn't dream about taking a team on a deep NCAA tourney run?

The problem with trying to grad transfer to a team that is capable of a deep tourney run, is 1, they probably already have solid starters all around and incoming freshman so where do you plug him in? And that also assumes that he can pick up another system and fit in with other players. Too many times, players have grad transferred and end up playing poorly or mostly sitting the bench.
If Cunningham does leave, I'd agree with Rollo it's because he's got nothing left to prove at the college level and has an opportunity in Europe to start making money. I hope he stays though.
