Considering the past 5-6 years can you really blame them?

Could it mean that Obi ended up getting that extra year of eligibility? I never really heard the outcome on that.

I'm pretty sure Obi signed a contract with an Italian league team

Obi was a senior and could have petitioned for an extra (6th) year under a hardship for injury. I think he was ready to move on with his life. Can't blame him.

Not sure much analysis went into this report...

This ^^^

It's pretty obvious "MidMajorMadness.com" lets virtually anyone submit "content" - very little credibility.  A quick Google search of their "authors" reveals virtually no other journalistic references in their resumes.

I'll wait for the more legitimate forecasts from Athlon, Sporting News, etc., which are typically provided by newspaper or electronic media beat writers for the Summit League, who actually know something about the conference.
