Woo pig and all that? Shoot, I’d stay in Houston if that was my other option.

That's interesting, b/c when he first redshirted, lots of Coog fans were on here saying he was staying.

no one guaranteed... i think most people still have the same stance since...
king didnt quit, it was the coaches idea..theres a chance he leave, but most likely stays ..

most of us are still in the most likely stays camp...

the season ended a month ago, he graduated 2 weeks ago...there is legitimately nothing keeping him from going in the portal...nothing..yet he isnt in the portal..

he could go the route of "im likely staying with houston but i want to weigh my options" and gone in the portal...to me the fact he isnt in the portal likely means he "wants" to stay ...outside pressure might change his mind, right now houston has to have the best odds

Frankly, I think its silly for anyone to act like there is a monolithic opinion on the matter for Coog fans. I think its entirely possible that it was King who forced the deal on Dana and Dana simply found a way to make the most of it. Regardless---at this point its starting to look like King will be staying. With his graduation behind him and spring enrollment dates looming---you'd think he'd be in the portal by now if his intention was to leave. Its worth noting, Corbin is not in the portal either.

i never said a monolithic opinion.. i said "most" not all...i think most are in the he could leave but right now it looks like he is staying

in respect to the bold...

to me this is holgs idea ..holgs said similar ideas before the season started, in atleast 4 interviews said he wanted to redshirt seniors. ..after it happened in completely different interviews holgs said it was his idea, king said it was holgs idea..and corbin said it was holgs ideas...murphy who was ranting against holgs and had no reason to lie said it was holgs idea..all said it was right after the game in front of a lot of players (i doubt king planned on losing to tulane)

in a recent interview holgs actually said how he approached king..that it was bothering him that king was ending his career on a bad year. that he went to king and told him "this is not how it should end" king was to special of a player to have it end like this..too much evidence says the seeed was holgs

With regard to Dana's early season comments on red shirting---I dont think he ever said a word about red shirting starters. Thats what is really unique in this situation.

Its the fathers comments that lead me to believe it's completely possible that the idea started on Kings end. That said---I freely admit I havent a clue as to how the idea originated. It may very well have been Dana's idea--I dont profess to know. Either way---I do think you'd have to sell it as its being sold for it to work---otherwise its possible his team mates might see him as quitting on the team.

Lol...then we agree—you don’t know anything. Just a bunch of twitter rumors. Hardly thread worthy....

It takes approximately 2 full seasons to grasp a whole new playbook and posibly 3 to master it... Dumb move by King if he decides to transfer.

That being said, I don't see him going anywhere but if he does than only means he has no shot in beating out his rival replacement.

King already knows KB's offense.

King is gone. Think Wiseman.

You haven't beaten us since 2015, so that's not at the top of any Memphis fan's list.

If he was leaving, there is zero reason for him to not be in the portal right now. To me, that says he will be at Houston next season.

I always thought he was gone, but now not so sure due to the fact that he hasn't entered the portal and he graduated 2 weeks go. I don't think the rumors will die until he enrolls in grad school at UH and attends classes mid January when school starts again.

If he is leaving I think he does it so he can go through spring ball at his new school. I don't see him staying at UH in the spring and jetting in the summer that wouldn't make sense at all.

I'm looking forward to being a part of the success of this program going forward."

King said he came to play football at UH and that's not changing. I'll take him at his word until he says otherwise.

John Calipari stared at a camera...and said Memphis was where he wanted to be...
Saban said he had no intention of leaving LSU for the NFL...
People lie.

Alternatively, King may have stated the truth at the time. However, people change their minds.
