He made a terrible decision transferring. I do think he may needed to sit a year, but leaving Duke was bad.
Here you have a kid who went from playing 26 minutes/game at Duke as a true freshman and was unhappy. Now he’s a third year college player at USC and struggling to find consistent minutes. I’m sure his dad and uncle are loving life. I feel bad for Derryck....but not those two.

Normally when discussing one of our transfers I’ll be the guy that is saying, he’s not here so it doesn’t matter to me. Good riddance in a way. I have a soft spot for DT bc i truly don’t believe he wanted to go. I’ve heard a few things regarding him leaving that make me feel for the kid. His family is class A nuts and unfortunately for him he got caught up in that.Wonder if the bench is warmer at USC. Is his Uncle gonna go on a rant about their coach now as well? Even seeing as how Thornton had a whole year to learn USC system and handle the point and start.
Let's not act like DT didn't have a say so in transferring as well. If he was scared off by Jackson, wonder what he thought when Jackson stayed injured.
In the end worked out for both parties involved
Might be but one has to think that it was just as much his decision as well.

It definitely has worked out for Duke. Can’t speak for him.Might be but one has to think that it was just as much his decision as well. Either way it worked out for both parties

No question.Yeah that's true but sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side

Can anyone give me a short rundown of that whole situation and his transfer? I've never really heard. I'm gathering his dad and uncle didn't like things for him at Duke, but why?
Wow. That’s deep.And sometimes it's artificial turf. OFC
The family claimed they were lied to about how K envisioned running the offense with Derryck at lead. What happened is things changed once Amile got hurt that season. We didn't have a ton of depth and K had to coach on the fly, and as we know, we were best that season putting the ball in Grayson and Brandon's hands. Basically, the Thornton's made it known it wasn't about 'team' for them, but rather the individual.
