Didn’t even see a tweet. Believe Grimes will transfer based on everything I know about the situation.
-
Wow. Huge news.

Grimes just announced he is withdrawing from the draft that’s it.
-
It doesn’t sound like Q will be back. I bet his family will sit down with Self in the next week and see if they can come to some agreement, but I bet he transfers.
-
We have two more schollies? Grimes or another combo and Jalen?

@Bosthawk So you think Q is going to commit to staying in college for 2 more years? I don’t see that happening at all. Could it be possible? Maybe a 1% or less chance he transfers…
could be he is going to go over sea’s and collect a little green play a couple of years - -work on his game , come back Home and enter the NBA draft in a couple of years
-
More are reporting Grimes will be back

-

-

we got to started pushing the pedal - -Would love to have my boy Kyree at the 2 - he is a beast
-
I would hope guys we don’t stat bagging on Quentin - -just didn’t work out - doesn’t mean he is not a good kid - just didn’t work - wish him the best - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
So Q goes from a OAD to a 3 year guy.

What did you miss buddy? - -surprised who would do what? - -sorry kinda thick lol

I ask those “once a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk” folks — what you say now?
Q?

Best of luck to him, sorry it didn’t work out at Kansas.
-
I told y’all Q was transferring, my sources are usually spot on.
-
@HighEliteMajor He’s always a Jayhawk. I will not forget the season where he shot 38.4% from the field and played no defense. I wish him luck wherever he goes.

Q?
Quentin is STILL a Jayhawk - and always will be. - -I just posted hope we don’t start dogging on him - -not saying you are HighElite - just don’t want to see that - -not a good look. - -Quentin is a good kid - just didn’t work out
Quentin is a good kid & hope things work for him where ever he lands now - -He was a part of JayHawk Nation even if it was just the ONE year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Me too buddy , how it works out - -he will be allright
-
Would love to know the rationale for that one…they really must feel he needs to get away from Self. Illusions of Grandeur, I think. Now he has to sit out. I do wish him well.
-
Bottom line is Grimes wasn’t a great fit with this KU group. It happens. Don’t forget that Malik Newman went to Mississippi St. as a projected OAD and ended up in college for three years after transferring here.
Right now a projected starting line up of Dotson, Garrett, Agbaji, De Sousa, and Doke.
If Enaruna does play next year, it seems like it’ll have to be a the 3 because KU doesn’t have much in the backc court right now. None of Enaruna, Braun, or McBride seem ready to play meaningful minutes out of the gate next year, but may have to due to lack of depth on the perimeter.
I’ll say right now that I think KU will have the best front court in the country next year with the 4 pieces we have in place currently. Self definitely needs a guard that’s ready to play now for back court depth.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 KU will push to add Jalen Wilson and Kyree Walker. Both would immediately slide into the guard rotation imo.
-
No offense to Grimes but I’m not disappointed to see him go. Best of luck to him but I want guys that play hard and want to win, not stand on 3 point line and chuck up bricks. Hes one of the laziest defensive players in memory, even Vick showed more on that end. Hopefully he can figure it out between the ears, this ain’t high school son.

I wish him the best going forward but he was one of the worst starters in the entire B12 last year.

@jayballer73 i knew for a fact that Q was buh bye, but then I let my guard down, and read a soapy article about Q and his struggles, and got to thinking he would come back.Of course, I felt like DD was gone, gone, gone. So, the thought of him transferring didn’t seem right, or even plausible with DD gone. But then DD pulls out, and a minute later, Q transfers. My question is…if DD had stayed in the draft, would Q be transferring? Could you imagine a Q/Marcus backcourt?
-
I’m thrilled with Dotson back. Frankly, I’d love another year where Grimes has to prove himself to the NBA–I still think he’s a legit stud, but just has to get a big chip on his shoulder.

I was wondering about if Devon DID stay put - -Q come back so he could play the point - -But I don’t know seems like a lot of , what is the word I’m looking for - -maybe just to much friction with all parties concerned - could of been a cancer in the end. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark no question
-
@jayballer73 I think he was indirectly blaming us for his struggles. The truth is, he couldn’t beat out DD for point guard. Very few players could’ve beat out DD- he’s just too good. I don’t know this as fact, but I get the feeling we had some pretty bad attitudes on the team last year. Maybe some entitlement issues were going on. Maybe some of the guys that outplayed Q weren’t fond of him starting no matter what … I’m not sure. But i do wonder if Q was the one coming back instead of DD if the team would’ve bought into the Q showcasing. I don’t want showcasers…I want team players that care about winning. nothing personal against Q, but i cannot imagine him being our #1 option. Trae Young redux???

I don’t have a ton of faith in landing either or both guys at this point. With the way recruiting has gone this year, Wilson probably ends up back at Michigan and Walker ends up staying 2020.
