It has been pretty clear that Justin is not returning, in case anyone mistakenly thought that option was still real.

And to clarify, Pierce said he will not be returning to W&M.

If the NCAA had enforced the original grad transfer rule as written, a lot of these transfers would be ineligible. W&M certainly has an MBA program.

Notre Dame will not get Justin in the NCAA tournament next year. UNC loses a lot of players, but no guarantee, still, that Justin will get any worthy court time. Michigan is his best landing spot for coaching style and playing close to family, IF their Big10 ROY stays in the draft, which Justin won't know until after he has made his transfer decision. If Brazdeikis comes back, then Justin will not get much play. Not a sure bet anywhere he chooses. Certainly every player doesn't want to ask "what if" later in life, but the grass is not always greener. Pro organizations will find you anywhere, but you have to be on the court a lot to continue to develop and be seen.
