King: "I wanna redshirt. Team this year sucks and it's hurting my draft stock."

Dana: "No. I need you this year. Houston coaches get fired for going 8-4."

King: "Then I'm gonna transfer and take some of my bros with me."

Dana: "Redshirting here is a GREAT idea. When you make your statement, tell them you wanna focus on academics."

King (as he walks away): "Who's your daddy?"

Dana (as he stands there alone): "How am I gonna spin this to Renu?"

SMU and Tulane's division to lose.

THIS. Freaking ridiculous.

Game of the century for the west, with Memphis being the wildcard.

...until now.

we were starting very few seniors total on offense and defense not king

2 of them are attempting to redshirt aswell....the only key player on defense that is a senior is rumored to be aswell, but no confirmation on this

one of the seniors for sure leaving is our 30yr old punter, and if you look on his twitter he is actually applauding the move ..

the total amount of senior that might feel slighted from this are like 3 players on a 84 team roster

there are more UH players happy about the move that slighted, the majority of our starters are juniors who want to have special year their senior year and want king as QB next season

If you believe that I have a bridge I'll sell ya. He gone.

Did you read king’s statement to the chronicle?

I have. I also remember multiple coaches in the past who told us they were committed to UH for the long run, only to watch them jump at the first P5 to come calling.

I repeat - he gone.

If he was gone he would have just transferred. It literally doesn’t make sense to say you’re redshirting if you really want to transfer. Apples to oranges, coaches get paid and can be fired for say the wrong thing, players can’t. Use some logic before posting.

It makes perfect sense if you're someone who doesn't want to listen to people giving you **** about quitting on your teammates for the next two months.

I'd love to be wrong, but I'm convinced King has played his last game at UH.

How many places can King go next year, if he did decide to transfer, where he would start on a high profile team, in preparation for the draft? Transferring hasn't worked out so good for UCF's Wimbush, for example.

The transfer portal is out of control.

Uhh the coach was the one that told him to redshirt... and all the players apparently are ok with it too. Just look at their twitter accounts. Maybe you should actually look into this stuff before posting.

Step away from the pipe. In only a few short weeks, it will be the TWO year anniversary of UConn’s last FBS win.

None without sitting out a year, he hasn’t graduated yet.

Let's sweep away all the BS in this thread.

King quit. Nothing more or less. No way to defend it. Absolutely zero evidence there is any injury. He just didn't like the way things were going.

Exactly like UConn, only just a guy rather than a whole school.

Once again it was the coach that told him to redshirt, not king. Kings dad is the one that jumped the gun and made the statement he would just transfer instead.

The coach told King to redshirt? If he did, then it was b/c King told him he was transferring. That's still on King, not Holgorsen. You think Holgorsen wants him to redshirt? That's freaking laughable.

Like I said, King quit. You can paint that any way you like, but it doesn't change that fact.

He gone


Unfortunately

Wrong... Holgerson said multiple times before the season he wanted another year with king. Holgerson had him start the first 4 games to see how it would work out and it didn’t. So Holgerson told him to redshirt so he could have another year to work with him. Holgerson already has multiple other seniors that are now redshirting after the tulane loss.

If he wants to transfer he has to graduate first. UH would kick him out of school if the seriously thought he would transfer.

And Duarte's quote from King's father that explicitly stated DK would redshirt and transfer? Are you just going to pretend that didn't happen?
