UK guard Derrick Jasper told the San Luis Obispo Tribune he is considering a transfer from UK. Jasper said he wants to be closer to home.

“I want to get closer to my family,” Jasper told The Tribune on Thursday, during a phone interview from Lexington. “I’m kind of homesick, playing here in Kentucky, and I have been thinking about transferring to a West Coast school so that my family can attend more of my games.”

The story reported Jasper is considering three schools. Jasper declined to name the schools.

Jasper also said he missed playing point guard. Jasper played the point under then-coach Tubby Smith, but because of a knee injury, watched Ramel Bradley play point guard under new coach Billy Gillispie.

Then Jasper needs to shut up and leave. He hasn't been of much value to UK so they will have a slot available to recruit someone good.

Go back home to mommy. Never contributed much to the game any ways. You are not the only one that has ever left home so stop your whining and go home. There's more fish in the sea than one. You will be easily replaced by some outstanding young man that wants to play for us. And he will play his heart out. Being a Kentucky Wildcat has always been some young boys' dream and now they can have that chance by sending little whiny babies home.
