O? Are you trying to start a tic tac toe game? That's what I am inferring.

HAHA! was for me!
More good news from Gopher Athletics!
Perhaps he got too handy with Holly?
These ****ty jokes have got to stop.
“I have no idea so I’m going to make something up”Seriously. I have no inside info, but think the chance that being homesick being the reason here is about 20% at best. His Dad saying so - and when KHH and PJ say the same thing - doesn't raise that likelihood at all, IMO.

“At the same time I am going to be condescending if you make something up or believe the words that were said”
What did I make up? An opinion that I clearly stated was an opinion and not based on inside info? On a message board?
The horror.

So now we are adding caveats? KHH is a big loss, but it’s unlikely he would have been starting over Winfield and Huff next year. Several of the players I listed had a chance to be multi-year starters.
Why is it so offensive to believe he's actually homesick, which is common among college kids?
Because their underlying message is that he doesn't like the staff. They don't like the staff, so they want to find kids that don't either.
The same posters that are now on a quest for truth about KHH never questioned kids who wanted to transfer closer to home when Kill or Claeys was coaching. Hmmm...

I only see spoofie's posts when someone quotes him, but I suspect his list of possible reasons why someone would leave the program looks something like this:
1. PJF sucks
2. Kid afraid of polar bears.
3. no other possibilities

The players buried on the depth chart were not good examples (we all get why people buried on a depth chart would transfer).
As for the players with a chance to be multiyear starters: DeNiro Laster, Craig James, Tyler Moore.
Tyler Moore: His transfer was talked about. He made it clear why and there was a lot of chatter about his transferring. People even looked up Noah Kuehn's twitter and posted bits about some argument between him and Moore. You didn't seem so offended with that chatter.
DeNiro Laster: Yeah, I thought that transfer was a little strange.
Craig James: He was the closest scenario to KHH. However, James was coming off a SO year where he really struggled. That said, I do think there was a good chance there was a little something more than simply being "homesick". He seemed to have gotten passed up on the depth chart a bit, he broke his leg, and it was just a really disappointing SO season for James.
I don't think these are "caveats", they just sort of flesh out the debate in a realistic way. I have no idea why this kind of discussion is now so off base on this forum.
KHH wasn't homesick during the break between semesters but by early February he becomes homesick, Hmmm? What are we, 3 weeks to a month into the semester? Is he homesick, yes that's part of it, but if there is a girlfriend back home I would think it might be time to move home.
Maybe because he was at home?
Handy-Holly is from a town of 5,000 in the middle of south Alabama. Not only is the weather an adjustment, but so is living in a city of 3+ million people.
Moore transferred to be closer to home despite starting for 2 years. How could he possibly have wanted to move back to Texas when he could have started here for 2 more years? Why didn’t we question the real reason???
Laster was viewed as having lots of potential but hadn’t played much. Similar to KHH. Same with Harbison who was a highly rated receiver.
When all 3 left, most didn’t question their grades or Kill/Claeys.

Everyone needs to just relax a little. Could he be homesick? Sure. Could it be homesick + many other variables? Sure. I don't think it's the end of the world that he's transferring. It's not good, but it happens and there could be many reasons. Saying you're homesick is either true or just a convenient thing to say to keep everyone happy. It's like when someone leaves their employer and says they just needed a change of pace, even though maybe there were other reasons.
Huh? People questioned Moore's intentions a ton. The link below is a 7 page thread about Moore leaving. Notice, there is almost zero backlash against the posters who questioned his motives/implied his motives had nothing to do with homesickness. This was before the cult of PJ had so many this indoctrinated.

Harbison? The guy that didn't do anything in his first two seasons and missed a ton of time his 2nd season because of disciplinary issues. You think he left solely because he was home sick? I believe there was way more to it than being homesick. Did that just question Kill/Claeys or Harbison's grades? Nope. I questioned how well he got along with the team. I questioned how well he bought into how things were going to be done.
You all have a massive chip on your shoulder. Speculating about the "true" reason a player leaves a program when the generic answer doesn't seem 100% right is pretty standard. It has only now been considered such a sun because you all are desperate to find anyone who might slight PJ.
Bob, normally you are a rational poster but you are off the deep end here. I could care less if some have had made it their mission to destroy PJ on here. My issue is when they pretend they aren’t trying to. <b>Spoofin saying there is a 20% chance that KHH is leaving because of the reason his dad stated is implying what?</b>

It appears everyone is tired of your schtick and you should find a new hobby...
Blah, blah, 20% Blah, blah, 20%
...calling me stupid, class idiot, etc...crazed guy went off...
What you are stating is that there is a 4x better chance that it is something other than what he father said.
