Don’t like this one at all. Especially after Travis brought him in with an injury when no one else would. This one confuses me.

Makes you wonder if he's already been getting offers to other places. The other thing is he does have the chance to return. I wonder if he sees that Pridgen and Money return and if Cobra Kai's waiver gets approved if he will come back. There's a chance Sawyer could stay as well.

100% agree--Travis takes him in, puts him in a starting role, he does well, we win The Big Sky, go to The Big Dance with a shot at repeating next year, and he bails--I don't get it with one year of eligibility left for him. Maybe, some other school is waving a bunch of NIL money at him, but I doubt it !!!

If you don’t think there’s money out there for proven scorers, then you’d be wrong.
Kudos to Malik for having a very good season and now finding out what he’s worth on the open market. Travis could (and probably is) doing the same thing this week and you won’t hear any whining about that.
Coaches have been lining their pockets for the last 25 years in football and men’s and women’s basketball - taking massive pay raises and moving up when they are successful, as they should.
I find it hypocritical for fans to get pissed when players try to maximize their value in this new era of pay to play.

Coaches are gonna see that 41% 3 point shooting percentage and that will be enough. I don't necessarily think he's a P5 level player but what do I know. The fact that he's not ruling out returning to UM makes me think he's uncertain on what he wants.

Or we do care. Strongly. This is a fan board, in this current media space that will dissect any and all situations that are apart of the University of Montana.
This stings.

It does if he indeed leaves, NEZD. From what GTID posted, he might just be testing the waters and might still, hopefully return.
I don't envy Travis and other college basketball coaches right now with the portal opening tomorrow--probably a lot of sleepless nights, full days at the office trying to piece your roster together for next year, living on delivered pizza
and coffee, and lots of Tums !!!Mick Belker

Mercenary. Players true character(or lack thereof)shines through. Money($$$) has ruined college sports.
Only capitalism for the select? Never change jobs for a pay raise or you lack character.

Bryce Zephir of The Bobcats has entered the portal with one year of eligibility remaining, he's 6-4, averaged about 19 minutes a game, 2 boards, 2 assists and claims another school has offered him big NIL money, thus he's left MSU and will publicly reveal in a week his new school.
So as much as I hate to admit it, another school might have indeed waved big NIL money @ Malik Moore, who played 30 minutes a game and averaged 12.6 pts. plus 3.2 boards per game.

Zephir also averaged about 5.4 pts. per game.
Again the thing to note though is Moore did not rule out returning to UM. Zephir appears to have already made up his mind.

Mick has worked the same job since he was 15.
He’s a company man.

Very grateful he chose to be a Grizzly. Sorry if he is now going to move on.
God only knows what is going through his head, and what other opportunities he might have. Hope he stays with Montana but wherever he goes I wish him the best.

You might be misinterpreting "pissed" for disappointment.

You don't have a single clue about the landscape of High School and Collegiate sports. "Money" has always been prevalent in college sports, but you know that because you are nothing but a troll

The new annual migration is upon us. People just have to realize that college rosters are now a year to year deal and not dwell on what might be, and just focus on the now. I suggest that once the season is over, don't worry too much about the next one until September rolls around and the roster comes into focus.

All the loyalty and character UM can afford. Maybe TDC got a Hallmark card from Moore, with something sentimental on it, recognizing how much he appreciates TDCs efforts, and faith in him, like:
'Rose's are red, Violet's are blue,
You took me in,
But, now I'll screw you!
