He likes to wear purple. Switch the “T” to a “G” and the uniform logo is almost identical.

FWIW... GCU seems to have done pretty well last season making it to the Round of 32 and losing to Alabama by only 5.

Best wishes to JC. He seems like a very good person and it’s been fun to watch him play

Of all transfers, he's the one I wish TCU could have kept even with his poor shot selection at times.

It's more money.

Physically going to class was a real beating but he doesn't want to change his wardrobe, so this is a great choice for him. Online degree, probably won't get noticed if he just keep wearing his TCU stuff.

It's more money.

How much more?

21 yo kids dont think through those moves. It’s just more.

How much more?

Somebody’s paying money for a dime a dozen and player?

And missed an handful of important game ending 3 pointers because of his subsequent hero complex.

It's more money.

My guess is it's more about playing time than money.

How does a few more minutes or even starting at GCU help?
