Could we redshirt him but since it's a free year the redshirt doesn't count?
So he gets two redshirts, just a few short of Morningsleeves?

A disappointing end to a disappointing saga.

I know people well enough on here that I expect some to attack me for stating the truth.
Nice kid who's tenure at KU has created and been a lot of drama. Too much drama. Black eye on the program drama. Some his fault, some probably not his fault.
That being said, I thank him for his service and I wish him well in his future endeavors.
Next.

Shit this sucks. Never got to realize his potential here. I wish him the best.

He had plenty of time to realize some of that potential. The kid flat out just didn't seem to improve that much while he was here.

Guess we get to see some Mitch this year! That'll make some folks around here unhappy. White Mari to the rescue!

Yeah, but I always held out hope that he would put it all together by the time he was a senior. I'd be curious to know what is bothering him, but it's not really anyone's business.

I am always skeptical of the reasons given publicly in some of these situations....but like you said, not really any of our business.

I find it interesting he didn't say if he is leaving KU.

Also if it wasn’t already obvious, it should be now, we need a healthy David McCormack season long.

At this point we’re used to having a razor-thin margin of error with our frontcourt.

Thanks for the Final Four.

Explains why he left. Left soon after the affidavit was received.
