So, why did Tre Singleton leave?

Answering that might explain why Iowa State has their team and NU has our team.

Sorry, this was meant for the BB board. @CappyNU can we move it over?

Short answer: $$$$$$$$$

From what I remember hearing, the money was not that much different but he had a lot of people talking into his ear pushing him to leave

After watching that scrimmage yesterday..... those people in his ear were right, unfortunately.

I'm sure it was a combination of things and we'll likely never know (the full story). The short answer to me is twofold, one is obviously money. Two is what are the chances of success on the team offering the money - to go to the dance this year and next year, to get NBA interest, to on a team of top players rather than the top player on a team, etc.

When 1 is in the same general range, 2 will matter more.

Well, NU would look a lot different if he had stayed

I wonder if the timing was right though. He was out there, being solid, but not standing out as they are talented and deep.

Had he stayed he would play more, score more, develop more in some aspects of his game. Assuming making the same money he could be more ready to stand out in a more visible place.

He should have had the foresight to get his NU degree and leave whatever extra $$$ ISU offered him on the table. Best case scenario is he's pumping NU players' gas in a few years with that paltry degree he's now working towards
