'14 TX DE Grant Blankenship (Oklahoma Transfer)

Just wait till Stoops steps in for Kelly when he moves on.

Blankenship goes down as a huge disappointment to me. From day 1 after he showed up at ND you never heard good thing... a poster on this board texted me once that a coach said he had the "worst fucking attitude ever" and that he got berated for not working hard. Never committed to weight training, practice, or doing anything to get better. He has lots of potential, and lots of latent talent. There was a telling scene in Showtime last year where Chris Brown implores him to put in the work.... instead he ends up suspended in spring ball and transferring. What an utter waste, and I'm sure Oklahoma was the landing spot because of Cooks who probably (wrongly) believes he can get him to put in the work.

I don't know anything about Grant, no inside information or anything. I remember seeing this picture during his recruitment though, and my immediate thought was "This guy looks like he could be arrogant and kind of a douche." Again, don't know Grant or anything and haven't heard anything, maybe this is all a misunderstanding and he's cool, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Still applicable.

There are many kids I get upset about leaving. Can't say he is one of them. Never contributed.

Best gift this guy has given ND is the roster spot back to recruit someone who wants to actually be at ND and contribute

Just reading Eric Hansen's new article about what has become of all the transfers under BK. Turns out although Blankenship made his intention to transfer to Oklahoma known. He never actually ended up ever enrolling at OU. Sorry for posting, if this was already known and has been discussed.

I was surprised by that too...

So other than refining his selfie game and combing his hair... what's he been up to?

Hard to tell. His Twitter doesn't seem to show what he's really doing/where he is/what his plans are.

Been pretty quiet for about a year now. His Facebook is similar. Apparently he's friends with my cousin at St. Marys, which is not surprising. She hangs out with a lot of players.

I'm sure your cousin is a nice lady, but after Whiskey's post, this is the gif that popped into my mind

Normally I wouldn't disagree given the circumstances, but she's my god daughter, she's a good girl. Got to stand up for her.
But yes, she's a looker I've been told. No pics.
Any further comments result in neg bombs

Sorry man, I couldn't resist

Hey, if I didn't know her personally, I probably would have said the same given the circumstances
