Who are you talking about?
I’m not taking the bait beyond that.
Calling your own dad a liar to hide it probably isn’t the best start.
Incorrect 3rd Ward.
Many people assumed he was leaving (lying) but that is not what he was telling the staff or many of his teammates.
Oh good. Let’s rehash this topic again.
From the same poster no less.
I don’t have any good thing to say about people like D’Eriq King, Ed Oliver, or Tom Herman, but I can say that these kind of people only care about themselves, nothing else matter to them. I understand when you leave an organization for lack of opportunities, but that was not the case with these people. They just were bad team players, bad teammates and they let the university down. I don’t wish them anything good or bad, I just don’t care what ever happen to them
If Miami’s winning somehow helps UH, I will root for them.
If Miami’s losing somehow helps UH, I will root against them.
If not, then I probably won’t pay attention to how King or Miami is doing.
I’m not sure you can include Ed Oliver in that statement. He was a 5 star and 5 stars typically leave after their junior year.
I don’t have a problem if you leave early and go pro but leaving to go to another school seems like a betrayal. I guess it shouldn’t feel like that, but it does.
Farewell to King but I am not planning on watching any Miami games.
My take: I wish he stayed, felt a bit betrayed when he left
I realize it’s deeper than football. So I understand the decision
He still speaks kindly of UH, our players still love him. I will wish him the best, hope for his continued success, but you won’t catch we watching hurricane games and if it didn’t work out I probably wouldn’t be heart broken, the cut is still new.
If in 3-5 years he is in the NFL and dual reps us like Russell Wilson does NC State/Wisconsin I’ll get back o the band wagon then
Curious as to what year he was here (and played QB) that we had a good defense ??
I harbor no animosity towards the young man, he did give all and made a lot of amazing plays in an effort to help our university win games. Unfortunately it didn’t work out with another coaching change, so it was decided transferring was in his best interest and ours as well. Maybe he didn’t handle things like we think he should but possibly he was handling things the best way he knew how. I know I don’t always handle things the right way all the time and besides n9t one of us has walked in his shoes .
Here’s my take: He left UH and did what he thought best for himself and his family, I can’t fault him for that and wish him no ill. If he does well, then good for him; but I really don’t have any further interest in his career.
Maybe it is just me, but once they leave I don’t care one way or another. Daniel House I wish him well but when I saw him with the Rockets its as if he was a stranger.
Nice!
Now this is the model to follow!
They were taking about him being a dark horse Heisman this morning on espn radio.
Who?
This is something I have to agree with. Especially those who already hold a degree and want to take their extra year as an opportunity.
Speaking for myself, I had a few options for graduate school. Either remain at UH, keep working on my projects there and keep working on this spirit org, or hand it off to someone else and advise from afar. I can always come back to UH for a different graduate degree, but when COVID struck and a bunch of programs offered deferrals, I took a one year program at the Evil Empire that was pretty damn hard to get into. It’s all about opportunity and people doing what is best for themselves. When I hang up my degrees on the wall, the UH one will be front, top and center. The other ones can be off to the side. Go Coogs.
The way I feel about it is that the NCAA made it difficult for student athletes to transfer while their million dollar coaches could come and go and get their next employer pay their large buy-outs while the kids they recruited were constrained and one of the biggest criteria kids attend a university are the coaches that recruited them. Finally, transferring is more favorable to the student athlete. They are just following what they feel is the best situation and opportunity for them. I don’t get grown middle age men frowning upon student athletes looking for a change for a better environment for them.
Regarding DK, he delivered for UH across 3 HCs, 4 OCs and he graduated and he exercised his right for a 5th RS year. Grad school at Coral Cables on scholarship and South Beach 15 minutes away playing football for a 5th year, not a bad gig.
Besides, UH under Dana has benefited far more with the portal than UH has been hurt by it. We have nothing to complain about.
