2019 Transfer List
-
@Marco Why are you getting so defensive over this? I never said you did wish Grimes would fail after announcing his transfer, and I never said I had an issue with criticizing his on court performance because it was very underwhelming for a top 10 player and deserved criticism.
If you want to get defensive because I, and many others here, called out your opinion of Marcus Garrett redshirting next season for being ridiculous, or your statement that all 4 freshmen will average over 10 mpg next season, then that’s on you for saying those things.
If you don’t think Grimes is a natural PG, then I would highly recommend you watch his U18 stuff last summer under Self, and his HS videos because I can tell you one thing about Grimes and that is that his natural position is PG. His defense will also be just fine in AAC because that league outside of UH and Cincy is are way below the B12 in terms of athleticism. You put OSU or WVU in the AAC last season and those teams finish top 3 in the AAC while UH and Cincy would have struggled to be top half of the B12 last season.
If the UH decision is accurate, Grimes made the right choice and he’ll be AAC POY if he stays all 3 years of eligibility he has left.
-
@approxinfinity Grimes waited out Dotson’s decision. Had Dotson stayed in the draft, Grimes would’ve stayed at KU and been the lead guard next season in his natural position. And AAC POY is his ceiling because he’s good enough to do that in that league by his senior year of he stays that long.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Did I say all four freshman would average over ten minutes a game? Hmm… Maybe I did, can’t recall, might’ve been beer:30. I do think that all four freshman will get solid minutes and unlike many (Bill likes him) I think that Braun will also contribute. As far as Garrett, yeah I was harsh, but Grimes? No, I wasn’t. Best of luck to both you and Grimes.
-
Sounds like Self and KU are going to try and help Grimes become eligible this year.
-
Good for Q. Hope he gets to play. And as many transfers should play immediately as possible. Sitting out is a dumb rule.

Interesting. I heard different from other people down in Texas but I trust that you are relaying what you know/have heard. Appreciate it.

Good. Makes sense too, the parting could be seen as mutually beneficial.
-
@BShark Look at this way, had Dotson chosen to stay in the draft and Grimes not transferred, what would KU’s PG situation look like for next season?
There would have been 3 options to run the show.
-
Grimes plays his natural position and looks a lot better on the offensive end as a distributor.
-
Garrett plays his natural position (Every credible recruiting service had him listed as a PG) and he hurts defenses with his driving. Either they collapse on his drives and he finds the open man or they don’t collapse and he makes a lot of lay ups.
-
Issac McBride runs the point. I think he’ll be good in a couple of seasons, but he isn’t ready for that job now as the starting PG Kansas.
-
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Agree that Garrett is a PG.
I had just seen it mentioned a lot that Grimes was gone regardless. I think the timeline of events supports your theory/claim.
Regardless of what would have happened, next year’s team would be a lot worse without Dot, imo. Super glad he returned.
-
If Grimes is eligible then everyone should be. Unless there is some undeniable circumstance this is just another classic move in this kids saga. Joining the Justin Fields and Tate Martell of the worlds who didnt get their way. I’ll pay for his pacifier while I’m at it
-
@Woodrow As they should.

@jayballer73 I’m not talking crap, just speaking facts. Grimes was not ready for primetime and I’m glad that he’s moving on. It wasn’t just Vick that was the cancer, it was Grimes too. I wish him the best, but am glad that he’ll be on another team.
lol - - you definition of a cancer is crazy - -A Cancer Grimes was a Cancer? - -very much mis worded term for Grimes. - A kid just doesn’t fit the billing as a OAD - -he has a bad season - just never living up to what the MEDIA - -THE FANS - -that got fed from the media - Quentin didn’t live up to what he was believed to be - - after some games he started pressing - -himself - lost confidence , but A CANCER? - WOW = - very sweet choice of words for a kid that is under a microscope . - -let’s see - -have YOU lived up to peoples expectations that they were looking from you? - -Are you a CANCER? - -have you ever come up short in someone else’s expectations of you? - -did they call you a Cancer? - -CANCER? - -REALLY? - -Quentin Grimes does not fill the meaning of a Cancer on this team thanks

@jayballer73 What you did to @HighEliteMajor repeating my quotes was childish. I said I have no issues calling that stuff out. I don’t care if you agreed with my opinion or not, you counting how many times someone says or does something is childish.
-
@jayballer73 He’s talking to you jayballer. We’re all talking to you. You know damn good and well that you advocated for Grimes to transfer with the hope that we’d be able to sign Apollo Jackson.

thank you - -gets tiring back and forth - -to hot to do this - - so now what can we talk about? - -Do you happen to know what ever happened to the guy that ended up in UNLV? - that we had recruited? - -Juiston? - I think - -maybe we could use our last Scholi for him -I was thinking had read here that he had some kind of surgery?
Just curious - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I know he had knee surgery last year, wonder if he was cleared? He was to good to play behind all our guys.
-
It’s that time of year where people go all in on snark with nothing better to do. Natural blood letting in the summer. Used to it by now.

I thought I had heard or read somewhere that he ha some kind of knee surgery - also thought I had saw he was transferring out of UNLV - -and I knew at one point thought it was going to be a KU & ISU dual for him. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk thx! Really like juice, wish him well!

@jayballer73 Old man, you need to get a grip, okay? That was a fucking joke that I posted. A joke that was, basically, saying let’s move on. You take this site way too seriously, for real. I’ve been to wars, old man. Your idle threats and silly ass mean absolutely nothing to me.

So…like I was saying… I’m really thinking this Moss is going to add the perfect blend of experience, defense, and offense to round out our perimeter. Moss and Marcus, combined with Dotson give us those elite ball handling skills we need. And it allows Ochai to play off the ball, where I think he will excel this year. It really looks like Ochai has worked on his driving skills, and with his athleticism and his ability to make the 3 ball, I’m thinking a star is born.
Last year we were undefeated when we had 4 scoring options. When Doke and Vick were alongside Dedric and Dot, we were pretty tough to beat. This year, we get back Doke and Dot, and add Ochai and Moss as 4 different tangible options. We also have Garrett’s driving ability, which will put pressure on defenses as well. JW, and his 3 point weaponry will give us that offensive pickup when we need it. Adding Silvio down low is going to give us that elite rebounding, and allow us to guard the paint better than we have in a long while. And Dave…well, Dave might just force his way in at the 4, and be our 5th offensive threat. I don’t see how we’re not going to be the team to beat.
We have a great program, a great coach, and a great team coming up- clearly superior to last year’s edition in my books. I’d like to see us let Q go, and focus on what is ahead of us. But I do want to say one last comment… more than a few of us didn’t like some of his remarks on the way out, which is why Q got some guff from us. Doesn’t mean we hate his guts, doesn’t mean we’re dicks, but many of us took his remarks as a slam to the program … a slam to the coach… right or wrong. Regardless of what Q intended, it was obvious he wasn’t happy here, so good luck to you, Q. It think it helps both him and us.
-
This years team has the potential to be quite a bit better than last year even with the full roster was available. More shooting, more experience, more depth, more athleticism and more size. Once Self has them rolling sometime in February, there is no reason to think it won’t be the best team this coming year. I don’t see Duke doing better than this past year. I mean, RJ Barrett and freakin Zion couldn’t get them to the final four. MIchigan state doesn’t have a lot of room for growth but their experience gives them a high ceiling and would be tough to beat if we play them in November.

I hear ya buddy. For the 1st time in a long time , I’, actually stoked for football again. I mean dam , sure we still a work in the process BUT I think we could win 4 games this year maybe 5 - if we could get through our non-con - -3- 0 - I mean it’s not out of the possibility BC will be a test for sure. - -BUT if we can somehow win that - -I think we could get quite possibly 2 Big 12 wins - - Our future is on the horizon with the Mad Hatter.
Show some results on the field now - -which I think we will - Les has shown that he and Staff is very capable on recruiting - -thinking we will start to see the benefits.
Basketball ? – I could just wet all over myself - -we are going to be one DEEP puppy - -our front line with the right combination on any particular moment - -Could be monsterous - -very very physical - -Doke - -Silvio - - & Dave at the same time - -who knows might come a time where this might actually be a possibility for spot minutes here and there. - -Mercy you talk about bruisers. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I watched a KU football game due to being interested in the KU football team. Think the last game that I watched (though not being interested in our team) was when Mayfield lit 'em up and it became a drinking game between me and a couple of my buddies.
As for basketball, I am excited. Haven’t checked the schedule yet (yeah, I know, blasphemy), when and who is our first game?
-
@jayballer73 I’m going totally off the rails …6 wins…bowl game…

@KUSTEVE That’s not totally out of the realm of possibility. Six wins is doable.

@jayballer73 And KU still hasn’t made one in a decade. Miles could’ve gotten last year’s team to a bowl game, but I don’t see it this year. KU is likely going 2-1 in nonconference losing at BC. That means they need 4 Big 12 wins and I don’t that this year unless the O a d DLine’s are much improved from the spring game which I doubt happens.

ya I’m not really looking for any bowl this year - -I had said MAYBE we could get 4 - - maybe possibly 5 - 4-5 would be some nice improvement. - -$-5 wins would be called progress - if Les can make some strides which I fully believe he will - -then we will start seeing even better recruiting classes. - -We didn’t get in this pathetic spot all of a sudden - and we won’t get back to where we wanna be all of a sudden - thanks to these former staffs - -we were rock bottom and was trying to go deeper then rock bottom. - Yet I think 3-4 years we might just be much better and fun to watch for sure - I think we will be competitive this year but I mean 3-4 years improving some each year - - then by that time we will be a very solid club AND going to bowl games. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It would take a miracle to go bowling this season.
