You are the only one reporting that Lavender won't be back. What are your sources?

No, I'm not. I speculated it. Someone else said he absolutely wouldn't be back.
Im not sure if it was blazergold or who exactly but someone said it on blazertalk not that long ago. Someone who has access to press row.

Reading between the lines, it appears he quit. Sat out a few games and came back.
Probably because quitting at the end of the semester would not help him anyway.

Do you think he will come back next year to be 3rd string at the 1,2 and 3?

Will he beat out Nick or Scootie or Nate or Jalen for playing time? Would he beat out Boyce too?

Id like it if he stayed and gave us extra depth next year. But I'm guessing at least a half dozen schools closer to home can offer him more playing time as a grad transfer.

I long thought he might be one of our better defenders but thats just me speculating. I'm not a coach. Nor do I play one on TV.
