Sounds like a nutjob,KU's probably getting lucky.

Last season the highly-touted guard, who was the 14th-rated player in the nation according to rivals.com, who made public his thoughts about possibly leaving early for the NBA draft.

Later in the year Downs, who played at a handful of different highs schools as his family moved because of his fathers' construction jobs, had highly-publicized incident after playing only 11 minutes in the McDonalds All-American Game.

"I was frustrated," said Downs at the time. "I don't know why I wasn't getting minutes. When I was out there, I was hitting threes and getting assists and stuff. I was just like, ‘Why aren't I getting in there, you know? I'm just as good as anybody here.'

"It definitely soured the game for me. When I was in there, I was having fun, but this kind of ruins the whole thing."

My hunch may be correct:

Quote:Self refused to get into reasons for Downs leaving, though team sources say Downs never jelled with his teammates and didn't develop any close friendships with anyone on the roster during his brief time here, spending much of his free time alone in his room. Often, he talked on his cell phone to his girlfriend, who is back in Washington.

During the end of KU's blowout victory over Nebraska, ESPN television cameras showed the Jayhawk bench. All of the players were on their feet cheering except for Downs, who seemed disinterested.

Actually, not yet, he's kind of fucking himself:

Quote:
What is known is that Downs' departure is a breach of the letter of intent he signed before arriving at KU -- a document stating the school and the student-athlete are bound together for a year.

If Kansas chooses not to release Downs from the letter, the 6-foot-8 Kirkland, Wash., native won't be able to play NCAA basketball for at least a year. Furthermore, he loses a year of eligibility.

Should KU release Downs, he won't lose his sophomore season. From there, the best-case scenario is that Downs could suit up and play second semester of the 2006-07 season. However, given the unusual timing of Downs' departure, he likely won't be able to suit up in an NCAA game until the 2007-08 season.

Downs has to sit out two semesters, and unless he goes to a junior college, his down time has to be while enrolled full-time at his next school. Current KU sophomore and USC transfer Rodrick Stewart did this when he began taking classes last January and became eligible to play last month -- after his second semester at Kansas wrapped up.


Problem is, the spring semester has started most everywhere, and Downs will have to hurry and get things in order at his next stop -- if it's not too late already. Downs has to enroll at his next school before the 12th day of class starts. Kansas, for example, is starting its fourth day today, but most schools started classes before KU.

Downs could go through a juco, but it wouldn't get him back into Division I any sooner. He would have to stay at the juco a year and earn a degree -- a tough task for Downs, who would have completed just three semesters by then, not counting summer.

If Downs doesn't enroll this semester at the NCAA school where he plans on playing basketball, he'll have to sit out the entire 2006-07 season, provided he enrolls before the fall semester.

You are correct...same with JR Giddens. He went from potential lottery pick his Freshman year to "Lucky to be playing D-I ball"

Stupid fuckers, some of these need a kick in teh ass, make them realize its a priveledge to play at a KU, Duke, Kentucky, or UConn. Roy wouldn't let this shit happen, K doesn't either. I blame Bill Self. He needs a tighter leash on these guys.

I think this kid is beyond help so I wouldnt blame Self.I dont think K or maybe even Roy would take him at all based on his attitude.I dont blame Self for trying but I bet there were other players he couldnt get that kind of forced him to take this nut.His spazzing out over playing time in the Mcdonalds game shows me the kids at best immature and at worst really fucking dumb.Why would you be on the phone with a Gf when you could have your pick of the litter on campus?He's going to look back on this in twenty years and want to shoot himself.
