    Hhhmmmm, I bet Self layed down the law and put some harsh penalties on Giddens (which he should have), and JR decided it wasn't worth it...interesting.

    If he transfers to a Big 12 school doesn't he have to sit out 2 years? Or is that in just some sports?

    Yes. Luke Axtell.

    Unless the coaches or AD's decide to waive the waiting period like they did with Junior Lucas and that guy that went to Texas.

    But they won't do that in this situation.

    He wont transfer in conference is the word from his pops. KU wouldnt sign a waiver for him either, this isnt the Baylor situation. Illinois and TCU were originally in his final list of schools..... Someone will be picking up an inconsistent headache for probably 1 year after he sits for 1.

    We are going to have a flat out GOLDEN opportunity to get Sampson's first win in Lawrence this year. KU's definitely got some talent coming in this year, but this is one bull we need to take by the horns.

    Wasn't this the kid form Oklahoma that everbody was upset at Sampson about because he didn't go to OU?

    I thought that was Sheldon Williams - from Midwest City, wound up at Duke.

    nevermind, Giddens is from OKC, too.

    So if Giddens went to a Big 12 team, he would sit out a year, plus lose a year of eligibility? Is this only a basketball rule?

    Lawrence Journal World has a story today about Giddens going to visit New Mexico and Tennessee. Other schools in his list are Miami, USC, TCU, UTEP, and ASU.

    The story is fairly amusing, it talks about how Giddens wants to go to a town with "basketball passion" and a "big-time basketball atmosphere". I wonder if hes ever been to Lawrence????

    A source close to the Lobo program has told ESPN that Giddens will transfer to New Mexico and sit out next year. They sold him on the idea of being the teams "go to scorer" and to try and replicate what Danny Granger did this year at UNM (first round draft pick and a tournament bid)
