Did he get much playing time at LSU and if so how did he do?  Also, do you think this would be a good addition for UC?

He was second on the team in rushing as a freshman and was in line for a much bigger role this season.

A few LSU insiders had him projected to be their starting RB heading in to this season and felt he deserved a much bigger role than he had seen to date. 

This would no doubt be a great addition and upgrade. He had a 39.5 broken tackle rate last year... Give him some room to run and he is going to go crazy. 

Michigan, UC,and UK are the three programs thought to be in the mix for him but I think this is a situation that could trend towards UC quickly.

Sounds like Kiner would be a great addition to any college football team.

Moved a little quicker than expected but big time addition to next year's team. @theguru

Assuming Evan Prater ends up the starting QB, the backfield will feature two former Ohio Mr Football winners. 

 

Kiner story is Brian Kelly told Kiner he would be #1 RB, then proceeded through spring practices to give #1 PT to a 5 star player who had to sit out last season. Kiner said see ya.

Something like that. He was hurt all spring so was limited.

Kiner was ready to transfer 3 months ago but was convinced to stay with the promises you mentioned above.

Paperwork for his transfer was submitted this past Friday and LSU used the 2 business days that the compliance department had to respond to try to convince him to stay.
