The BG News has learned Chris Knight will transfer from the program. The team made the announcement earlier today.

Better keep falconboy away from any sharp objects...

Hopefully he will land at a program where he won't have to work at anything to remain a starter. Good luck Chris.

Maybe Falconboy is the reason he is transferring.

Wow...what a shock. I did not expect to read a thread like this when I got back from lunch. Man, is Coach Orr really asking that much of players that they feel the need to transfer? What is going on?

good riddance...he never put out enough effort to show people the talent he really had. this sucks for the program talent wise but he wasn't a good attitude to have on the team in the first place

Here's the official release I got...

Chris Knight To Transfer From Bowling Green

Bowling Green, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men’s basketball program has announced that redshirt junior Chris Knight will transfer out of the program. Knight played in 53 games over the past two seasons at Bowling Green, averaging 8.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

I beleive that leaves us with one schollie to give?

Well, best of luck to Chris. I'm looking forward to Year 3 of Coach Orr!!!

Well, I was too. Now , maybe not so much as before. You can mark this season down as a wash as far as I'm concerned. If you wanna berate me for that opinion go right ahead, but none of you can tell me with a straight face that we compete for anything this year. Basically , '09/'10 is another rebuilding year.

Sounding like Dakich landed a kid that had mountains of potential but just didn't have the work ethic to fit Orr's system. It may take a few years before we see a championship caliber team. I guess a great bunch of our freshman will be in the fire sooner rather than later.

Did you look up from your half-empty glass of Shirley Temple to notice last year's team winning the MAC regular season CHAMPIONSHIP?

And you wonder why people rip you to shreds everytime you log in.

What attitude are you referring too? He never came off as a player who was uncoachable (cough,cough Nate Miller). Chris was a team player, although he made some questionable decisions, I would not classify him as a bad attitude. DC had a bad attitude with that stunt he pulled during the Fordham game.
I am sad to see him go as well but he will land on his feet and the BG naysayers will try to claim his as one of their own.

This is a shame, indeed, but I can't really say it's a surprise. Best of luck to CK wherever he goes (I'm guessing a D2 school so he doesn't have to sit out a year).

Of course, he could be transferring for non-basketball related issues. Like academics, a certain major that we don't offer, personal reasons, etc. He's not just a basketball player. Best of luck to him.

Wasn't this one of Dakich's players?
