I posed questions about Isaiah Simmons and his 5th year option (decision due by May 1st) in my “Concerns” article yesterday. Today, this tweet just arrived:

Your guess is as good as mine.

Let’s poll the ROTB audience:

My guess: (based on his last couple of tweets)

He’s pissed about the Budda Baker situation and he has asked to be traded. Isaiah was also very fond of Kliff Kingsbury. Perhaps the manner in which Kliff was fired is also a factor.

I hope I am mistaken.

What do you think is going on?

On an otherwise happy note, the attendance at JG’s mini-camp is excellent!
