Bragg to transfer from Kansas

Bragg to transfer from Kansas

All the best Carlton. Not too surprised at move - seemingly great potential his freshman year, but too many off-court issues last year, that seemed to drag him down.

... the wheels on the bus go round and round. Thank you, texkan ;p

JR and HE summed it up nicely.

Not surprised to see him wanting to start over somewhere else. Wish him all the best.

Once we get decision on whether Devonte and/or Svi decide to come back, we (and the coaches) can assess what we need in terms of depth and positions.

AH. I had forgotten that he will have to sit a year. So does he get to another powerhouse, or does he take his skinny little self to a lesser house. Man, I had forgotten that he was a sought after recruit. Has the behavior and horrible sophomore slump sullied his desirability?

Too bad. I had hoped he'd blossom...he was so enjoyable to watch on the sidelines his freshman year.

Good luck, CB, Jr.

In reading Tom Keegan's article, there is some real negativity from Tom toward Bragg. Almost a "good riddance" take. I suspect Tom may know more than we will ever know about the behind the scenes stuff with Bragg, and maybe he's sending us all a strong message about Bragg that Self can't say himself.

Carlton showed so much promise last year. This year I kept hoping the light would come on in Bragg's head and he would start playing to his potential, but he never did. His off season antics were probably part of the reason he didn't. During the NCAA Tournament it became clear Bragg didn't have a place in the lineup and probably wouldn't be back. I think he made the right choice for both he and KU. Hopefully he'll go on to have a good conclusion to his college career and end up earning money playing basketball. Unless he plays against the Jayhawks, I'll always be cheering for him. Hopefully Self can fill his spot with someone who can be more effective. Any thoughts on potential big men to sign?

See Murph doing her happy dance!

I hold no ill will for the young man and certainly hope he gets his act together wherever he lands, but my forehead needs to recover from my slapping it nearly every time he was on the court.

This big goofy kid never grew up despite the many chances given him. His absence could make room for someone more mature, and that's a good thing.
