Apparently, there's been false information put out about them taking something down that was never up in the first place. I couldn't find it.

If they're still following UCLA in the way this post says, they're not transferring.

Someone posted info from a Spanish source below. That source should be familiar to everyone here: They announced that Mara had signed with a Spanish pro team 2 years ago and wasn't going to go to UCLA. That "source" is employed by the pro team that Mara used to play for and they apparently like to lie about him since he went to college in the US and they were upset about it.

I'm surprised that Devin is leaving. My guess is, that's his decision. I'm also surprised that Cronin redshirted him, given how good he looked on our trip to Spain (a lot better than Sebastian, Dylan and Lazar looked) and I can see how he can get tired of waiting around if he's gotten word that some coaches want to start him next season. Coaches know how to do that. That's why you see guys enter the portal and already have a final list of 6 teams.

Cronin likely told William that he's not renewing his "NIL deal" (as opposed to not renewing his scholarship, which was how it was done until the last year).

No one knows what Mara, Perry or anyone else is going to do until an official announcement comes out from someone. Devin put his name in the portal. William has put his name in the portal.

Dom hasn't put his name in the portal. Until he does, he's not gone.

The players do this in a business-like way, not in a social media-type way. If anyone leaves, you will know because they enter the portal. They want a timely deal.

If UCLA announces a new NIL deal with Skyy, like they did, then you know something about Skyy.

Coaches F up all the time. Larry Brown recruited Mark Eaton, but never played him and neither did Larry Farmer.

And there's this: https://www.bruinzone.com/b12/messages/36412.shtml

BRO won't report something like this unless it's happening. If BRO is reporting this, Cadeau did call UCLA and so mhesse shouldn't be concerned. He can be concerned about his perception of Cadeau's skills, since everyone has an opinion, but its funny how much better almost all of UNC transfers got after they left UNC while Davis has been the coach. And Roy Williams missed the Wears and Larry Drew II a lot after they left, but not when they left, and he's HOF like Brown.

If you try to press Cadeau, you are giving up the paint.

first step is too quick.

This year our starting backcourt had issues in the red zone(paint). We never got to the paint. Cadeau fixes that.

Mack touches the paint. As a junior, I want to see a pull up jumper.

Much appreciated. Seems that a lot of these posts are feeding a narrative, regardless of how questionable the sourcing might be. It's like the absence of a tag is being held up as proof that a player is transferring, when the presence of the tag in the first place was never actually established.

We can say that a player is transferring when they actually show up in the portal. That's factual.

Anything else is just speculation pushing an agenda or trolling for attention.
