Could Doneal Mack be heading back to Memphis?  According to several published reports, the former Tigers guard wants to make it a done deal.    The University of Memphis cannot comment on the issue until it is made official, but it appears  that  D-Mack wants to leave the University of New Orleans.     D-Mack played in  74 games and started 5.   He was concerned with playing time, which was his main reason for transferring.    I wonder why the change of heart?   I was curious when the news came down that he was heading to UNO, why he picked UNO!   It just seemed a little random after we had heard he was looking at programs like LSU and Clemson.

I respect a person's right to change his/her mind.   He never badmouthed the program.  He left very quietly, actually-in true D-Mack fashion.   He's a good kid.  He's always respectful and willing to talk after big wins, big losses...whatever.   I would have a hard time returning (if I were in his shoes) for the simple fact, I made my decision earlier.   But maybe it wasn't his decision.  Maybe it was his parents' decision.  It's just strange that he suddenly changed his mind.  

I think fans should welcome D-Mack back with open arms.  He's a young man who had a change of heart...a couple of times.   If Coach Cal is ok with it, we all should be.
