Admittedly thought everyone was coming back for at least one more year. What is going on at WSU, however, is relatively minor compared to the turnover that is taking place up in Jayhawk land.
Seems like just a great kid. Wish him nothing but the best. Take care Rod. No doubt you will continue to bust your tail to be the best you can be. Sorry to see you go.

I do not understand this post. Perhaps I'm missing something...but what do you mean when you say "what's going on at WSU?"

I think all he means is we are having normal transfer departures of players who, for whatever reason, see a better fit elsewhere. Typically over expected playing time. He is hinting there is more than that afoot at KU, at least that is how I take his statement.
Just think this is a watershed point for Self's program. A lot of people leaving, recruiting doubts surfacing on the part of the coaching staff, and Self probably a little doubt ridden for a guy who has seemingly been pretty confident and cocky up until this point in his coaching career.
Rod could probably tear it up if he took a JuCo year and then went somewhere like Bradley.
Rod needs to be in a fast break offense. He brings a ton of energy and attacks the basket. He has the body and work ethic to be a high level contributor at a major D-I school. Good luck to the young man and good luck to Ricky!

I don't think he has to drop down to a bottom level NCAA team like Bradley to tear it up. He could be really good at a lower level P5 or good mid major.

Great quote, pin -- that's what I call building a program.
Has anyone else noticed that Lawrence either has been, or has been talked about, as a destination for a number of high profile transfers in recent years? Of course, there are only so many assistant jobs to go around, but their boosters probably love the savings.
Best of luck to Rod. He seemed like a great kid and worked his butt off when he was in the game. He could use a year of Juco and like some have said, I think he could get a chance at a good school.
Freshman year was with the UIC Flames where he was a starter in 30 of 35 games and played 24.5 minutes, 7.1 ppg, and 4.2 rpg, shot 38.8/36.6/65.0. Fouled out of 5 games (2.8 pg) and had 41 assists with 64 turnovers.
Sat out the next year after transferring to Missouri.
Played somewhat sparingly, 20 games, 12.3 mpg, playing less the 2nd half of the season. Limited stats shooting 31.4/22.2/14.3, 5 assist, 17 turnovers.
Assume he would have to sit again. An article said he plans to move to a school closer home in Geneva, IL (Chicago).
