Can we get Derion Kendrick to transfer to us?

- Start date
Answered my own question - guess he goes pro since he was returning for his senior year for some reason.
I can think of worse things he could be doing....
Hell no! We don’t need punks like this. He’ll end up at penitentiary U (ie:Allbarn).
I'll always believe he could have played quarterback at the FBS level, even the Power Five level. He was beautiful to watch in high school and I think he sold himself short.
Oh he’s smoker trust and believe, and he is probably smoking black and milds. His mouth is a giveaway.
In the grand scheme of things smoking weed recreationally is about as big of an issue as getting a speeding ticket. It is, however and stupidly, still illegal in SC. If the employer (CU AD) tells you to stop something and you continue to do that activity, then you get fired (asked to hit the road and end up in the transfer portal).
This kid has issues with authority and compliance. We don’t need a bad apple in our barrel. My .02 worth on the kid

There were many things that led to him being kicked off the team and it occurred for the three years he was there. Missing meetings, late to practice, skipping class....he was given more chances than he should have been given. He is immature and has an inflated view of himself. It was pretty much assumed he would go pro after last season but he wanted to come back for another year and Dabo gave him a very specific list of requirements he had to adhere to. DK knew it was all on the line and could only comply for a month.
Its sad because he is a tremendous talent but can't get out of his own way. Hopefully he can find a team and play a solid season and get drafted but he has some growing up to do. He basically quit tackling people halfway through last season and his outing in the playoff game was embarrassing.
Thanks for the response. I'd still take him and his flaws for our patchup season that is 2021.
These guys mature at different rates. At that age I was an idiot. My wife would tell you I still am even though I'm 49. The pressure on these guys at such a young age is immense. I never want to see a young person struggle, but most of his issues are self inflicted unfortunately. The good news is that he himself has the power to change that. Good luck to him
As much as his talent could help us, I think we should pass and work on building what Beamer is trying to build.
except someone like could cause more harm than good because they will negatively effect team moral, especially when Beamer is trying to change the culture.
I think that is some of what Dabo was running into, although some players did speak to Dabo on DK's behalf.
No. Not worth it. Missing meetings, missing class, late to practice - all signs of smoking the weed. And a head case. One bad apple will spoil others. I disagree on the pressure aspect. Plenty of students are under worse pressure - can’t get up the tuition money , struggling academically, etc.
Yeah, if Clem5on is getting rid of him we don’t want him, they let a player throw his girlfriend down the stairs with no repercussions...
Yeah, but that player could cover and tackle better. So he was #ALL-IN!
