You could be right, however he’s a really talented kid that CAN play at the P5 level…

[denton_days]

Well I guess I’m glad there was some drama this off-season 

[meangreenbob]

Maybe someone on our side either matched any monetary  offer or came close?

KD, don’t you EVER run out in the parking lot again!!  Do you realize what could have happened to you?!?

I bought a KD Shark shirt this morning. Hope we can all chip in to show that they're supported at UNT.

Going to be an awkward return to the locker room after the way some of the interactions with his teammates went when he first entered the TP.

I see it more like a Prodigal son reunion of sorts myself.  KD just got some bad advice.  I think we should be blaming Marty Biagi for a lot of this as he coached KD at UNT and now is at Ole Piss.

[untphd]

Glad to have him back.

[southsideguy]

I am not going to believe he is back until he shows up to fall practice........but I hope he returns.

It sounds like KD gave us the right of first refusal and we matched or bettered what A&M and Ole Miss offered?

I HIGHLY doubt we matched anything they offered. More likely he ran into administrative issues with the transfer or didn't like what A&M and Ole Miss offered and decided to stay at UNT.

I have to believe at this point he is looking at what can get him the best opportunities at the next level. He knows he will be the focus point of our defense, however perhaps when he was looking at other schools they were thinking of him more in a backup or specialty situation role with no guarantee that he would be a starter

If I were Littrell and was losing the best player on the team I might reach into my own pocket to make things right.  Just sayin!

No shit, he's getting 2 mil a year to delegate and mumble.

So you're saying SMU did offer.

I'm nowhere near plugged in enough to know, but I certainly hope so. He's be a fantastic add, even with the waiver issues.

He’d still be able to get a waiver though. The way the NCAA hands out waivers is insane.

• G5 TO P5 - EASY WAVER
• G5 TO G5 - WAIVER MAYBE
• P5 TO G5 DOUBTFUL

SMU's offseason:

Tried to hire McCasland = FAIL

Tried to hire Hedlund = FAIL

Tried to buy KD = FAIL

[Greenrex]

Today is certainly a brighter day than a couple days ago. Didn't we go through something similar with Mason Fine only not as involved?

Kind of - he had graduated already and had his senior year where he was available to transfer and play immediately. He did say something in some interview that made people side-eye what he meant, but I don't think we know that it went beyond that.

Quote

The Oklahoma native briefly considered transferring to play his senior season at another school but quickly dismissed the notion.

 

 

“It crossed my mind,” Fine said. “You weigh the pros and cons. I have made my decision that I will stay here no matter what.”
 

Fine has played three seasons at UNT and has not used his redshirt year. The NCAA also allows players who have graduated to transfer and pursue a degree at another institution.
