In all seriousness, you have to figure he'd be looking at Bama, LSU and/or Oregon. All 3 will likely be in the top 10 and all are losing QB's potentially projected to be first rounders. Could throw Oklahoma in there, too, but I suspect Riley realizes he needs to have more than a 1 year QB after 3 consecutive transfer one and dones...

sucks to see him go. i liked how much tune grew and i look forward to see what the new soignee would do but king leaving sucks.

he left for the false glory. the only reason you should enter the portal is if your trying to promote yourself, land a starting spot, or if your at odds with the coach or program, and of course to play closer to home.

king was going to be the starting QB, had all the hype already, played at home, and liked the program. the competition between the aac and the p5 is made up and the drop off isn't big. if he left for that and i think he did then it was a false sense of glory.
sad to see him fall for that. he left his team and fell for the "power" slump.

Hurts was a “one and done.” Mayfield and Murray were both at OU for multiple seasons.

People need to stop thinking of transfers as some kind of black mark. This is the new normal. Teams that embrace it early and play the free agency game will thrive.

Additionally, he is leaving the coaching staff that developed him into a POY. I see the King situation in a similar way

Except... Kendall Briles...

Got to give it to my man Pesik though. The glass not only is always half-full, the glass is overflowing.

No one would blame Houston fans for believing he will return and being optimistic about that. What is so funny to everyone is that there were a few Houston posters on here that were thinking this was some elaborate, out of the box plan by Holgorson. Now that the fog has cleared, it seems pretty daggum clear that King and others were actually quitting on their team and their coaches.

Who is UGA looking at as their QB to replace Fromm?

legit the other 5 players who satout have said they arent leaving..non of the 8 transfers who sat out are leaving, non of the 5 new transfers are decommitting....and the 2 that past on the draft arent changing their mind

again the whole red-shirt thing wasn't based around king alone..every other piece is still in place

our season ended 2 months ago...he just entered the portal yesterday..he was anlready enrolled in uh classes for the next semester ..literally a week ago he was an embarassador for UH at a hospital trip..

he ended up leaving, but i still stand by my original statements that he wasnt guaranteed to leave still stands

the rumor has been king for a while now...their football staff followed king a while ago..
which i noted before

everyone here is acting like i said he was 100% staying...when in the threads that i say "its not guaranteed he leaves"..i clearly also debate which schools he would transfer too

i said Florida st, Arkansas are bad teams and made no sense, when florida, lsu, oklahoma and georgia are on the table

Why would Florida be on the table? Trask is a Junior.

It was actually a 100/0. He never had the intention of coming back unfortunately. His dad even made it crystal clear. The timing now gets him more exposure in that college free agency. He wanted to wait to see what teams will need a QB.

I don't think that's true. I think the decision was just finally made yesterday.

Yes, Dad said he was transferring back in September, but at the time D'Eriq said in no uncertain terms that he was staying.

D'Eriq could have entered the portal when he graduated a month ago. There was no reason to wait a month.

D'Eriq was participating in team activities over the weekend, and had signed scholarship paperwork with UH for the semester.

I think Pesek is right. Watching Joe Burrow in the national championship game put stars in his eyes and he decided last night to transfer. It happened in the 4th quarter last night.

Dude of course he signed scholarship papers that’s the whole reason he waited so that he would be guaranteed scholarship for the spring. I told y’all this back in September.

I bet Mississippi State's Mike Leach is taking a look...

They were on a list of 9 schools looking at King, including OU, Florida, LSU, Georgia, Arky, Tennessee, etc. in an ESPN article.

Georgia already took the Wake Forest grad transfer. Don't think they'll do 2.

I stated from the get go, that King was a quitter. That anyone who was healthy and had put blood, sweat, and tears into the program would not quit on his team mid season.

Pesik roundly criticized me, and stated it was some type of Holg plan, and that King was not a quitter.

Looks like I was right and Pesik was wrong.
