I don't think this is correct. He tweeted out his highlights, which is generally only done when you want to be recruited. I didn't take it as a swan song.

If so, things must have changed from about a month ago.

Appears "your understanding" was wrong.....again!

I believe it is a formality not only for the player but for the school when the player in question still has eligibility remaining. So even if the player is no longer going to play, it is the release for the school also. And as I said, Freddy has graduated and did have a pretty good job offer. Maybe he has decided to pass on the offer and continue playing, but I was told a month ago that the job was hard to pass.

This is not correct. A student-athlete must go the athletic department’s designated transfer portal administrator and specifically ask to be put in the portal. A student-athlete with eligibility remaining that does not desire to at least consider the prospect of playing again would not be required to put his name in the portal.
I agree with you though, I thought I saw he had a full-time job already lined-up. But I think it is clear from his recent actions that he wants to play somewhere.

Good for Freddy III. A Degree from a excellent Business school. An Internship at Boeing. Now he gets to play in one of the nicest gyms I've seen.
