Kobe King will not attend Nebraska next season due to personal reasons, the school announced.

He had transferred from Wisconsin back in January and committed to Nebraska in February.

Will we have a big 3 of "transfer due to personal reasons" next year??

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Any interest from MU?

There should be. Wojo likes lighting scholarships on fire tho, so probs not.

He just needs you to contribute 50k each and every year to the program in order to use another.  That shouldn't be a problem, right?

Who exactly wanted to come here but Wojo didn't want to give up his banked scholarships on? Just wondering.

I think JJJ's point is why isn't he even getting involved with anyone else?? Now some would say "we don't know that he hasn't". Yeah actually we do...writers get lists of kids of schools that have reached out to them, when is the last time we saw MU connected with someone?? Now granted, the transfer market has slowed, but their were recently two bigs that hit the market, who in both instances would be absolutely ideal fits(MU needs another big) for what they are looking for, and sure as of yet we haven't seen any "contact" lists for either, but something tells me MU won't be in on either one, and that would truly be baffling to me.

[BM1090]

Seems like they are focused on Etienne and a potential reclassification. Nothing wrong with that.

And of you course you know as a fact that they haven't reached out to a player or coach to gauge interest. Maybe. Just maybe. They reached out and were told thanks but no thanks.  But I don't know everything as you guys do.

Not saying they aren't still involved, I'm sure they are, but we haven't heard about any contact between MU and Etienne in awhile. Also, I think its very doubtful he reclasses just from everything you read. I mean my goodness it's approaching the end of June..If you are going to reclass you had better decide that like REAL quick. School starts August 10th..it's not as easy as just showing up on that day and saying "okay I'm ready to start school now". There is a lot that goes into it. Time is winding down rapidly.

Wojo has his reasons for not filling all his scholarships.  And I understand that adding people simply for the sake of adding them could have a detrimental impact on the team.  I trust his judgement here.

[MU82]

There are some things about Wojo that I have serious questions about, but I believe he has earned our trust regarding recruiting. Just landed a top-20 class, augmented by one of the top 3 transfers available. That on top of him generally doing a good job recruiting over his time at MU.

Maybe, just maybe, he actually knows what he's doing on the recruiting end of things better than Scoopers do.

I know ... crazy thought.

Agree 100% with this.

I don't know the specifics of Etienne's situation, but it could even be something like Jarnell Stokes at Tennessee a few years back. Became eligible at mid-season, enrolled as a freshman, and started playing in January. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. Keeping a scholarship open would allow the flexibility to do that or to take a mid-season transfer.

I really think they are willing to accept going forward with Theo and the freshmen in the middle, which is why we aren't seeing other interest for big men.

"That's his choice and he's going to have to live with it".

[brewcity77]

"That's his choice and he's going to have to live with it".

I don't disagree, it's a risk. But looking at the players they've targeted, they really didn't make a push for any of the prominent immediately eligible bigs. If they saw it as a need, I have to assume they would've made a push. Now maybe they make that stronger push for Etienne because they know getting him in now means no one else will pry him away from us in 4-6 months and because they view him as a longer-term player while also having another backup option. Regardless, if they thought that position was an issue, we would've been more prominently mentioned with big men (even if we ultimately missed out). The areas of concern were guard and wing. Carton solved one, they missed out on Turner and got a backup option in Perez for the future. We can criticize, but Wojo knows what he expects out of this team better than any of us do.

Rumors are fun. Nothing set in stone of course, but heard guard Kobe King could be UNLV bound. Former Wisconsin transfer just backed out of his LOI at Nebraska. Rebs are already at their scholarship allotment, so not too sure how this one would work out. Interesting nonetheless.

Not sure how could back out of something that doesn't exist.

Oh yeah, Transfers can't sign NLI's.
