Former Michigan LB Cornell Wheeler transferring to Kansas
Does he know that Les Miles is no longer coaching there?
BTW, I hope it all works out for him.
I’m interested to see how Leipold does at Kansas. He did really well at Buffalo and at the DIII level. If he can get them out of the bottom of the Big 12, that would be amazing.
Leopold! He's going to instill some stern discipline.
And some guys are going to struggle to meet his standards.
Well, as Les has been gone since March, I would have to think that he definitely is aware.
I would imagine that, in the grand scheme, "no Les" may be a tiny bit more for Kansas relatively speaking, for they still suck.
Kansas - where football payers go to die.
Eh, I know you're more or less kidding, but as a baby Jayhawk myself (parents both graduated from KU, and I went there my freshman year), I should point out that ... things change. They've won the Orange Bowl far more recently than Michigan has won the Rose Bowl, and, after all, a school that produced Gale Sayers, John Riggins, John Hadl, and Nolan Cromwell ain't too bad.
It's funny -- for most of my life it was K State that was the joke. But man, KU's program has really catered for the past 15 years.
I think I’d rather play for Leipold than a 67 year old Les Miles anyway honestly. Les strikes me as a guy at the end of his career that would just be walking through the motions at this point. He’s already achieved the highest accomplishments and now he’s in his late 60’s at a bottom feeder program.
His tweet looks more like a wavering commitment.
Good luck, and say Hi to Toto for me.
Rock chalk, whatever that means.
Your comment got me curious, so I looked up "Rock chalk." Wikipedia provides an explanation that explains almost nothing.
First, the phrase transposes, "chalk rock," which is a type of limestone in the state. Okay. There's the connection.
But then the account adds this: "They came up with 'Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, Go KU' [in 1886], repeated three times, which later became 'Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU'" [1889].
So it happened ... because it happened?
Jayhawks enjoy consuming both powdered cocaine and crack.
Seems like a good kid. Best of luck to him
Good for him.
Well at least we know that he didn't transfer because he could no longer tolerate the losing seasons...
Along with Les Miles he will have that grass to chew on.
Is it bad that I've never heard of the guy
RIP, his professional aspirations.
Good luck to him. I feel bad that I thought he had already transferred.
