King will graduate before entering the portal. Then he can play right away rather than sitting a year. He said he's coming back so he can graduate in relative peace and then gtfo of there. This is painfully obvious to everyone but Houston fans.

No its not. Because obviously you didn’t know that you dont have to notify the school to enter the portal. If he wanted to transfer he could enter the portal now with no penalty.


Sent from the warp via the ruinous powers of chaos.

Why would he not graduate at UH first in peace and quiet rather than starting a crap storm by entering now? Plus he still gets all the benefits of being on the UH football team like tutoring, training tables, weight rooms etc. He will enter as soon as he graduates guaranteed. Don't be naive

Lol his brilliant dad already ruined that. At this point there is no reason to lie anymore.

Uhh because of people like you who bought into this new excuse 110%. It makes life easier on King 10 fold. No drama while he finishes his degree plus all of the benefits of being on the FB team. You are being insanely naive

it seems a vast amount of ecu fans dont know how the transfer portal works

but everyone hating..if king comes back, on paper houston looks monstrous for 2020-21 season, and that is just "as is"..houston still has 15 ships to play with

houston wasnt going to a NY6 with a true freshman qb ..and houston fans arent high on tune (though he now has 8 games to prove him mantle)

houston just went from competing fro a high chance at 2 frisco bowls ....to potentially a lower chance at frisco bowl in 2019 & a drastically higher chance at fiesta bowl 2020...something everyone here would take in a heart beat

you are calling someone naive but dont even understand what the transfer portal is

entering the transfer portal, doesnt mean you lose your scholarship, and it doesnt mean you have to leave the school when you are in the portal..it just means coaches can contact you..

entering the transfer portal does not mean transferring

your entire post of "you are so naive, he is just waiting to graduate before he entering the transfer portal" shows you are extremely naive as to what the transfer portal is

Plus, I don't buy for a second that this was Holgorsen's idea. Again, based on King's dad's tweet, I bet they were transferring and Holgorsen talked them into saying this instead, and deciding later.

You keep making up a scenario that literally isn’t true in order to shoot down the possibility that a coach wouldn’t tank. Sorry but we are tanking and its just a fact.

Can you legit provide a good reason not to tank this year... ill wait because i know you cant. We have no chance of even winning 6 games this year. So why would you lose your best players in a 4 win at best season THAT makes no sense.

I know its old school mentality to always go out and win. But the fact is this is the age of tanking and its proving to work at all levels of sports now. Wether you like it or not our coach is simply starting it at UH.


Sent from the warp via the ruinous powers of chaos.

I don't give a flying crap whether you're tanking or not. You act like I care what Houston does, lol.

I just think the real story is King and Corbin quit before they used up their year of eligibility, and Holgorsen talked them into the redshirt explanation to postpone the decisions on their part, and hope they change their minds.

My evidence is King's dad's tweet earlier today saying exactly that. Redshirting and transferring.

What evidence do you have otherwise?

P.S. If Holgorsen truly is tanking, I wouldn't be so proud of it, lol.

I'm still torn on what I think is going to happen but the evidence would be all the players saying hes not transferring. Your argument (which I do find plausible) is entirely speculative. I dont think it makes much sense debating what's going to happen when we're going to find out one way or another in a couple months.

It's not "entirely speculative at all." I'm basing it on King's dad's tweet. He clearly said D'Eriq was redshirting and transferring. King then said that was wrong, probably b/c he talked to Holgorsen later, but Dad didn't make it up.

And I'm not debating what is going to happen. I DON'T CARE. I'm simply stating my opinion of how this actually happened, and a couple of your sensitive fans took offense, lol.

Again that's entirely speculation. At this point there's no reason to not take the player at his word. Especially because its the player not the dad's decision at the end of the day. With all that said this situation is clearly a cluster **** and the optics dont look good. In fact tanking in any sport never looks good. Its something that can only be redeemed if it leads to great success down the road. The Astros tanking a few years ago has been redeemed by their great run the last three years. The Marlins however have gone through 3 or 4 rebuilds since '03, none of which have looked good because it hasnt produced the desired results. So who knows what going to happen next year for down the road, the reality is we suck this year and its about to get worse and no matter how you spin it, it isnt a good look.

The development cannot be spun into anything other than a disaster. The degree of the disaster is the only legitimate matter of discussion.

School has to be notified to enter the portal. He does have reason to lie, he’s got to line up something he likes before he burns his bridges. This is just Uber basic maneuvering.

A student athlete can not enter the portal. The designated athletic administrator has to enter them into the portal.

Please you and Pesik read this PDF before posting anything further about the portal.

Just looked at your board. That statement is false. A couple people see through this nonsense but the majority believe it.

To the other guy, I know how the portal works. The negatives outweigh the good if he were to enter the portal now as opposed to when he graduates. He would become a pariah at UH if he entered now, instead he's given you this BS about being back next year and having a magical season and the majority of your fans are eating it up. The only positive of him entering now would be other coaches being able to "recruit" him, but with the way his dad is i'm sure he's already made contact with Briles or someone else.

So if I'm getting this straight...

King... and maybe others... are saying "well, we suck and this year is lost, so I'm going to jump into a redshirt and try it again next year" … ?

That's nuttier than monkey sh*t.

Coaches ARE required to be notified after the immunity time span which i can’t remember off the top of my head but is something like a week-2 weeks. After that point the athlete can either pull out or stay in, if they stay in the coach has to be notified. Read the PDF.

The NCAA also recommends you communicate with your coach your plans during the immunity period

or he can just look in the portal himself.. this rebuttal is more referring to him finding out which has nothing to do with it

when we are talking about him just putting his name him...he can do it without dana and the team

the entire bases for the point we are debating was that king had to go through dana and lying to keep up front to not burn bridges...
when he can just put his name in without dana, and make up some excuse that he just wants to see what are the best option for him, and returning to houston is one of them
