Word is that he had been struggling. Reclassified, probably a mistake (17 years old, too soon in his case?).
From knowledgeable JayhawkSlant poster —
1. he wasn’t as good as the staff had hoped. Opens up some money for a wing that may be from Australia.
2. Showed up out of shape and not the best attitude to learn. Didn’t respond well to being seriously coached for the first time.
“May you live in Interesting times” is supposedly an ancient Chinese curse.
Think we are there,

A friend of mine who lives in Vancouver follows Gonzaga. He mentioned that Marcus Adams recently signed with them and that he came from KU. I hadn't heard that he signed with them so did a quick Google search about.
These two articles came up that state that he's going to Gonzaga, but they also explain...through his quotes, why he's leaving.
I mean nothing he said is that bad, but it's the "sourest" tone from athlete on why they're leaning...at least that I can remember. Curious if anyone feels the same way or thinks I'm being to harsh on the young man?

That’s ok, Aussie Johnny Furphy just stepped in to MA’s slot, thank you very much!
