Per Matt Vogrich via Twitter:
Congrats to @BlakeMc22 on hooping at Miami Ohio next year. Lock it in that's on the calendar next year. Lock in a few beers on the trip too

I'll be cheering for him next year. He made it through pretty much 4 years of riding the bench and I never heard a bad thing about him. Good luck at Miami. Tell Rico he's short for me

He had a clutch 15 foot jumpshot against MSU a few years back. He was just WIDE open as no one was expecting him to shoot. He left his hand in the air and was backtracking back on defense while everyone else was waiting for the rebound because they all thought he was going to miss. I only remember that because I saw him at Rick's that night and did many shots with him.
John B wouldn't use a scarce scholarship just to bring Blake back for a fifth year of scout team duty. Blake undoubtedly understands this, and given his extra year of eligibility, hopes to land someplace where, as others have pointed out, he might play his way into a European gig. A win-win all around.
Good move for McLimans. Gets to play Division I still....will get much bigger minutes and will experience college basketball as, hopefully, a rotation player. Can't blame him one bit.
As everyone has said....good luck Blake!
