Although its just a rumor at this point, there’s been talk that junior guard, Jahshire Hardnett has quit the BYU Basketball team and is now transferring.
Supposedly, he is unhappy with his role and playing time on the team.
Hardnett has played in 52 games total with the Cougars and a total of 431 minutes this season, so far. He has made 185 points with a .447 field goal percentage.
According the Vanquish the Foe, he has been visibly showing his distaste for where he is at with the program.
Tensions seemed to boil over in the Cougars’ road game against conference rival Saint Mary’s on Saturday evening, when Hardnett could be seen vocally showing his displeasure toward the BYU coaching staff on the bench. A starter as recently as last week, he played only 5 minutes in the team’s lopsided loss. He did not show up to the team’s scheduled practice or film session on Monday.

Since the return of Nick Emery, Hardnett has had to share his time on the court. Which could also be a contributing factor to his unhappiness with the program. Some also say politics are taking place in turn of who actually deserves time on the court in that position.
Although, no official release has been made on the matter, a look through Twitter almost confirms some speculation on the matter.
