re: Priest Willis transferring from UCLA

When it comes to the "turn our back on us, we will turn on you" policy, IMO it depends on the kid and what happened in the recruiting process and how he handled himself since then.

Someone that disrespects the staff or program or lies to the staff about things, we def wouldn't want them here a few years later. Remember the Hootie Jones recruitment deal... He wanted to decommit from Bama and commit to LSU around the time of the UA All American Game... But we moved on to greener pastures with Adams and didn't have a spot for him. When it's a controversy and questions about the kid, I don't think we would take him as a transfer and we just keep doing what we do, which is reload each and every year with talent.

Now when it comes to someone like Kenny Young, a player who was always respective and cordial and honest with our staff and school but made it clear he wanted to go out of state, I could see us take someone like that back.

You burn the bridges with the staff and school, which some players have done, I doubt we would take them as a transfer. If you are respective to the school and coaching staff and are up front with them during the recruiting process and handle it with maturity and professionalism, and for some reason it doesn't work out at their respective school of choice and wants to come back, I could see us working with someone like that.
