Some of you might be wondering why I posted this. Quentin Grimes was a freshman starter on Kansas last year. He put his name in the draft, but then pulled out and decided to transfer to Houston. Paperwork was submitted to the NCAA for immediately eligibility, with the reasoning being he wanted to move home (he's from Houston). I can't find anything about a sick family member, or any other reasoning at all. Just simply wanted to move home.
Marcus Carr wanted to leave Pittsburgh because the coach that recruited him was fired. His waiver was denied by the NCAA. How is wanting to move home a better excuse than leaving because your coach was fired? Maybe there's something I don't know about Grimes' situation, but I get more and more upset every day with the NCAA and it's random decisions on transfers. Now, I'm not mad at Grimes for this. Good for him for getting to play right away, but the NCAA clearly has zero structure/policy when it comes to immediate eligibility, and it can really affect teams that get the short end of the straw.
