Let me start by saying that I loved watching Davis play. I always thought he played hard was very scrappy. However, I also saw that he showed a lot of negative attitude at times when he was taken out of the game. My information is that he did not have a good chemistry with the players on this team and was resentful toward the new guys coming in. Especially regarding the addition of the grad transfer point guard. All of this combined with borderline grades that
Y'all need to lay off KD.
It was not his decision to leave TCU. Basketball is a very different world than football. Scholarship and roster spots are a season by season basis.
We had 2 more scholarship players on the team than we had room for (now we have 1 more than we have room for). Someone was going to be forced out. Coaches felt they had acquired better talent than Kendric and told him there was no longer a spot for him on the team.
You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think KD willingly chose to leave what he had at TCU to go sit out a year to play for a team in a much lesser conference.
Best of luck to him. He was one of my favorite players last year. Loved his heart and effort.
I agree that this was probably not his decision. I also enjoyed watching him play last year and that he always hustled and was very, very scrappy. However, I also saw that he showed a lot of negative attitude at times when he came out of a game. Perhaps that was just part of his character and that he plays with a chip on his shoulder. Could be that he was resentful that other guards were recruited and especially the grad transfer point guard. That attitude along with borderline academic issues may have led to him being a liability that the staff was not willing to gamble on any longer. But, hopefully he uses the summer to get his grades back in order and he has a successful career down the road. In the meantime, I trust our coaching staff to make decision that are best for this team and it's future success.
