In the pantheon of poor NDWBB departures....
For me, it will always be Jewell Loyd and next is a very distant second place.
At least with Olivia, it was always a possibility that Hannah was going to put a wrench into the situation. Both were point guards first even if they had different skill sets and strengths. I think many of us were surprised when she pulled the trigger and did come back after her injury season.
Jewell on the other hand? She basically admitted she misled Muffet about her intentions. That reverberated through the program because it not only impacted the quality of the following year's team but disrupted recruiting too. And then tried to backdoor justify her abrupt and unexpected departure by citing her learning disability, which came off as a little disingenuous.
