I've heard he is gone for sure and it's because of a family member is sick. This is from one of the players parents.

Heard that as well. In that case everyone who has blasted him on this forum should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. What's wrong with reserving judgement until the facts come out? If he comes and confirms this story then we should send him support.

Seriously doubt that story...rumors of his dissatisfaction go back to last year. Sounds more like a disgraced politician who quits to "spend more time with the family". I know nothing....maybe he's totally content in Cincy & has a close family member who's ill & he wants to help take care of them etc. in that case, I'm sure he'll join a school really close to his home.
Thought this link is more on target though

from PW this site for 5+yrs its only about 3-5 guys in here. Seems everybody uses multiple accounts. I still don't understand why wait to blast him if leave but praise him if stay.I'm personally not crazy about the idea of this board getting into the business of shaming one another. If someone regrets something they said, they are free to speak for themselves to set the record straight.
It would've been nice if he came back and we continued to develop him but all season, I was concerned about his motor (or lack thereof). I know some people look different than others but I just got the impression that he was not getting after it the way our players are expected to in the way of rebounding and defense.
Who knows what the reasons are? Either way, best of luck to him. I hope for his sake if he goes somewhere that is going to let him develop at the 3 spot, then I really hope they light a fire under his ass.
My main point is after watching him last year and with the influx of big men...I don't think this is a huge deal. It'd be better if he stayed but to me, this isn't a huge loss.
More excited about our youth and Shaq's evolution in the offseason.
If he was unhappy with his position/role, it can be very hard to be motivated on the court and in practice. This could be what you saw in terms of a lack of motor. Of course, this is pure speculation and I still think the injury in HS and the one last year had a lot to do with his struggles.
Thx, couldn't copy the link on my phone for some reason

he looked more 6'8-6'9 in high school now he's close to 7' he needs to adjust his game. He could have tried be KD in rubles type role and Mick already came and said he wasn't going to play center. Don't think position really has anything to do with it.From that article,
"It would appear that Jermaine is convinced that he is the next Kevin Durant, and will do his best to go somewhere that will let him try to be the next KD. That's ultimately what this is about."
Bingo.
agree 100% plus its kinda hard playing for 90seconds at a time. I think we get better attitude and performance from players when they are comfortable enough to make mistakes without being pulled.If he was unhappy with his position/role, it can be very hard to be motivated on the court and in practice.
