However, Will said it had nothing to do with academics, nor nothing to do with basketball, that it was a personal matter. (??)

I can't seem to get back into the article  that 1st mentioned the quotes from CB about Doherty but he also did say that it was a personal family matter.  Hope it's not a serious illness of a family member for example but that could explain why the young man needs to focus on other things than basketball.

I agree, nysteve, and sincerely hope it’s not a family member or personal illness. Here’s  a link to the article by Pete D., in the TU — Will’s quote is right at the end of the article.

Why don’t we just stop speculating? A PERSONAL matter means it’s PERSONAL and not public. It’s one more body that can’t play...add to the list.

Nothing to do with basketball or academics but was enough to have him removed from roster?? Hmm. Not speculating either but sounds like hes no longer a part of team.

No reason to speculate. Just realize that if he had to leave school for a personal or family reason, I think he has to be removed from the roster. Hooley stayed on the roster because he was still enrolled at the school and from what I heard was still doing school work during his absence (hearsay). 

He may still be part of the team, but not an official student at the University. We won't know more until the team says more. 

I have been excited to see him reach his potential in purple and gold. Time will tell.
