Why not?  A senior PG with tournament experience will be valuable in 2015. And we did recruit him 3 years ago.

Thought he was one of those eligible immediately seniors and would make no sense. Why would a junior on Kansas sit out a year by transferring, would think he would want to start making money playing ball after 4 years.

Could it be he not in to being the 4th point guard? The article creates impression he could be  3rd or 4th PG.

He's a rising senior. Don't think he's graduating, which means he has to sit a year unless he gets a hardship waiver.  Sit 1 year here, take the keys when our 4 guards leave and briscoe/Sampson join him and Felix in 15

Not sure he is that good, that coachable.  He may have been over -recruited.
