IMO there is no reason to release KT from his obligation. If he doesnt want to play for us, then he must deal with the consequences of wasting a year in order to get to another school.

Im wondering if Dooley's Legal background is bubbling to the surface on this one.

Agree with you. He should take his lemons and make lemonade. He is a JUCO and shouldn't waste a year.

welp, problem solved


Kenbrell Thompkins, from Torrance (Calif.) El Camino JC, intends to come to UCLA, according to good sources.
The 6-2.5, 180-pounder, who has true 4.4 speed, is considered the #1 JC wide receiver in the nation for 2010.

He has told UCLA that he wants to be a Bruin, and the process is in the works to have him at school in time for spring practice, which starts next Thursday, April 1st. He has yet to pass UCLA admissions, and the process has been slowed since UCLA is on its quarter break this week.

It's also uncertain if Thompkins has the academic profile to get into UCLA.

Thompkins focused on UCLA for a specific reason. He had signed a National Letter of Intent to Tennesee back in November, to then-Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin. But when Kiffin announced not too long after that he was leaving Tennessee for USC, Thompkins opened up his recruitment. Thompkins recently received his release from Tennessee and then shifted his focus to Pac-10 and Big 12 programs, and contacted UCLA. Reportedly, Thompkins is motivated to play against Kiffin.
At the time when he opened up his recruitment, Thompkins adamantly said, "I'm not looking at USC. I'm not going to go down that road again with (the staff). I've already been burned once, I don't want to get burned again."
Originally from Miami (Fla.) Northwestern, where he said he got into "some trouble," Thompkins came to California to get away from bad influences back in Miami.

If he didn't come here, I couldn't think of a better place for him to go. :good!: UCLA has been a thorn in Kiff's side.

Awesome choice Kenbrell. I wish you were going to be a Vol, but i guess things work out for a reason. Give Kiffin hell out there if you are able to make it in to UCLA.

Hell yes Kenbrell! Would have loved to see you play as a Vol b/c you're going to be great, but go shut Kiffin the hell up! Good luck!

KT is trying to cash in, He is absolutely a "one & done" guy.
I can see the pros of him going to Cinci, he will have the ball in his hands as much as Mardy Gilyard and thats ALOT more than he would see here.
I will be rooting for him, he's as talented as any WR in this '10 class.
If he keeps his nose clean, hhe's gonna make himself a boatload of money

Best of luck. This whole thread is depressing now, painful to ponder what could have been.

Off topic, but CLK promoted Ed O to D-Coordinator over Monte. Coach O was obligated to UT a 300k penalty if he left for any other school if it wasnt to be DC or Head Coach.
