Did he want to play for a Blue Blood?

He had a rough year. Only 2 conference games he played well in were against Auburn.

If he gets back to his 2019&2020 ways solid pickup

Couldn't hack it under Muss so he thought he'd get more PT at a worse program.

Wants playing time and had to go to a lesser program to find it

Wish him best of luck except against us

I'm not sure he's a starter for us, but it'll be good to have an experienced guy coming off the bench. Hope he plays for Auburn as well as he played against Auburn.

He's too wreckless at times and he was relegated to a bench player after being a promising player from the previous staff.

He's a total gunner. He can burn your team or he can help your team, it juts depends on the night.

Arkansas fans had a saying: "Good Desi" or "Bad Desi" on any given game, and you could tell within 5 minutes of the game which it was.

Muss came in and tried to get him to play more sound snd not just gun it all the time and take a shite load of bad shots.

He didn't like being "held down" so he bolted. He also likely saw that he wasn't going to be anything other than a bench player the rest of his days at Arkansas. I'm sure Auburn promised him starting time and threw in a whole bunch of Bruce Pearl perk$$ to boot.

Doubtful. Supposedly this is the third time he’s tried to commit and they finally told him he was a take.

I loved me some Desi, I don’t blame him for transferring but I really wasn’t expecting him to still be in the conference. He’s good enough I just hadn’t considered it.

Good luck to him. But ya know when it comes down to it.

He doesn't offer much past hitting threes, and he was abysmal from there this year

He’s a really streaky shooter. Will go 5/6 from deep one game then go a few weeks without making anything. He dealt with a shoulder injury this year, he was great at finishing through contact against our smaller out of conference teams but SEC teams were just too big and athletic for him at times and if refs weren’t calling fouls he would just recklessly drive into the lane and turn it over.
