NC State forward Abdul Malik-Abu told ESPN he is “seriously considering transferring or hiring an agent.”

ESPN’s Jeff Goodman just tweeted that Malik Abu is seriously thinking of moving on from NC State, which would be catastrophic. I am not sure what is going on with the program as it makes no sense as to why Abu would transfer…Sure I can see going to the NBA but is NC State that bad of a place that he would rather transfer and sit out a season? Then play one year and try and turn pro?

If Abu does indeed spur the NBA and decides to transfer then this is a red-flag as everything I know about Abu says that he is a great kid. At State he would be the focal point of the offense in the premier conference in the NCAA. He would also have solid guard play around him in Dennis Smith, Torin Dorn, and Terry Henderson. It just makes you wonder who is feeding these kids information…

We will have to wait and see if this report holds any weight moving forward.
