#qdotgrimes announced after Dotson so I would guess his decision is about position. Point guard. He must really want to get to the NBA so adding at least 2 years to that with a transfer makes no sense. He must really dislike Self although he was given an amazing amount of PT.

actually, the inside scoop is that Grimes stopped going to class and failed the entire spring semester meaning he would have been ineligible anyway.

I think you can only make up 9 hours over the summer right? If so that would make sense.

the rumors are that he was waiting to see what Dotson did and wanted to come back to play PG AND that he was going to be ineligible 1st semester due to academics. right? There were also rumblings throughout the season that he didn't go hard in the weight room and didn't spend any extra time shooting etc...

It matters for a few reasons. It probably pissed self off that he gave up on school and didn't work hard given he had such a poor season compared to expectations. Something went on for him to transfer rather than come back and these rumors seem plausible.

don't buy the rumors. he didn't like his time here in kansas. plain and simple. we have the best academic coordinators for the basketball team in the country. players with questionable character, such as Sherron collins were able to earn their degrees here. I highly doubt they would allow themselves to be put in that situation. maybe he wants to play pg. the real reason why he didn't want to be here was probably because the fights that were happening in the locker room this year, it was just a really negative locker room this year from what I know. I think he made a mistake not coming back. Look at Auburn two years ago, they didn't look like a final 4 team. brought back their core. and went to the final 4. Quentin should have stayed. I hope he can change his mind. he Is really making a horrible decision.

This^^^ is what I have been saying all along about Grimes. It was written all over his face at times during games that he didnt like it here. So be it...

Fights in the locker room? What was the cause of them, Grimes, someone else or just a bad mix in general?

Most likely it was Grimes vs Dotson and maybe Vick. Grimes would woof at Dotson at times on the court. Thats why I am pretty sure Dotson waited until Grimes going into the transfer portal before commiting to return to old KU...

I'd say a bad mix, and Lagerald acting up which caused him to leave. The guy comes from the tough parts of Memphis. He was a tough nut to crack, didn't really talk much. With the high expectations we had coming into the season it just hurt all the more for this team. I expect good things for 2020.

Wanting to be close to home.

Quentin Grimes could be close to finding a new landing spot and it could be close to his hometown, according to a pair of recent reports.

ESPN's Jeff Borzello tweeted Saturday morning that Houston and Texas A&M "have been the two clear frontrunners for" the KU basketball combo guard with his transfer decision. Jon Rothstein, college basketball insider for CBS Sports, reported that Grimes will visit Houston on Saturday and Texas A&M on Sunday, according to Grimes' mother.

Another I told you so moment by yours truly. Always said it most likely be Houston.

Who cares, he is gone and good luck to him. Doesn't he have to sit out a year if so i do not understand how a transfer helps him if his goal is the nba.
