I saw that too (haven't actually read the article) but why am I underwhelmed by the news?

Color me confused. So, do we have 17 wide receivers or 3?

hard to transfer when you are not wanted....

no big deal...go..stay...whatever. No ONE is bigger than the whole.

Bad habit of not attending classes..clear immaturity issue with the transfer tweets..I don't see this ending any different.

I agree with STEP. Not sure if Stoops will want the kid after the suspension is over. He'll have to make some dramatic changes.

Reason 1,458 why players shouldn't use twitter (at least as it relates to their sport).

If its just immaturity . Do ya think Bob will take the extra effort to mentor the kid?

When's the last time you heard of a player announcing he's transferring, even picking then school he's transferring to, then decide to stay at his original school and then have a successful career? Hopefully, he changes that, but I think the variety of immaturity issues will hurt him. Hopefully, they can get him some help.

KJ: I'm going to Texas A&M!
A&M: ...???
KJ: Nevermind, I'm staying!

(awkward pause)

I do not understand these athletes that receive full scholarships, and do not appreciate them! I had to go to night school for ten years to get my first degree in education. Try that while working 40 to 50 hours a week and raising a family!!! It took another 4 years to get my second degree in accounting.

I know the requirements for conditioning and going to class is difficult, but I also know that they are provided with tutors to help the athlete to succeed. Not going to class is just stupid! I found that attendence made the tests a lot easier to pass......

I think Bob has a special place under the heel of his boot for KJ.

from Jake Trotter on Twitter:


@Jake_Trotter

Don't want to speculate too much, but if Kameel gets to work and goes to class from now on, I can't see his suspension being too lengthy


@Jake_Trotter

Kameel's suspension was not as serious as the other two WRs'.


@Jake_Trotter

That said, I can't speak for Kameel's eligibility. Because he missed a decent amount of class, he may have some work to do there.

Teenage kid needs to grow up. Twitter gets everyone in trouble, especially when you're being dumb.

Nothing to see here folks... plenty of wide receivers who won't hold back the team.
