KU 5 Star Transferring

[CyclonesRock]

Could this mean KU is actually going to be held accountable for their actions soon? The rats are leaving the sinking ship?

No they also just signed Jalen Wilson who de committed from Michigan after Beilien left. Grimes just needs new scenery is my guess and closer to home considering its somewhat similar to Newman a few years ago. McD AA had a bad year, needing a new start.

Kelvin Sampson has some of the best bag men out there.

What could his justification for a waiver be? "I wasn't developed into a draft lottery pick, which impacted my earning potential"

Clearly, he's just an honorable young man looking for a place where honor precedes victory.

Did his check bounce?

The Adidas check didn't clear.

First the Aussie leagues, now the American conference pays better than KU? The times are a changin

Probably afraid of losing playing time now with Isiah Moss on board....

Poor Kansa$. Are they down to only four McDAAs now?

Lease was up on the car

No idea, but Grimes is from the Houston and I read that KU wouldn't help Grimes with NCAA to get the waiver due Sampson and Self being good friends.

Sounds a lot like Bolton situation where PSU has helped with his waiver.

I read this was a mutual parting. I think he will be trying to say that they didn't have a spot for him when he withdrew from the draft and that he was forced to transfer or something to that effect.

Fact is that he was pretty bad last year and for some reason the people around him think he is an NBA point guard when it is clear to me he doesn't have the quickness, athletic ability, shooting or handle to be able to do that. He didn't even have the quickness to get around most college guard let alone NBA guards.

They still have a scholarship open.

No, it just means they upgraded on him. KU will never be punished for paying players.

This transfer has been in the works for a while. Grimes just hadn't made up his mind on where he wanted to go yet. But he never had any intent on coming back to KU.

Grimes's camp is selling a story to the NBA folks that the reason he wasn't very good last year was because he didnt get the opportunity to play PG like he was in HS and that PG is his NBA position. He wasn't going to get any minutes as the primary PG at Kansas with Dotson back in Lawrence.

I saw nothing out of Grimes last season that makes me think he can be a good college level PG, let alone an NBA PG.

Some kids just have a hard time realizing that the peak of their basketball mountain isnt as high as they dreamed. Two more years of college hoops will certainly give him a better shot at the NBA than he had a month ago. Best of luck to the young man.

Yeah but if the coach doesn't want you back, then you don't have a spot.

With this post he is now guaranteed to get drafted.
