3.76 GPA and graduating in December. Kid would have to want to play football really bad to leave that behind.

Does have two years of eligibility left so if he could finish his degree here and do his grad program but even with everything going on more likely he just doesn't play football and finishes up rather than transfer.

didn't even look at the years, was reading his class by class. Duh! show's how much attention I'm paying.

Anybody want to finish up the set up on the computer I reformatted so I can pay more attention to important things, like Allbuffs.

No.
 
Noticed on the espin runner that some of their higher rated recruits have pledged allegiance; but one, a 4* CB has decommitted. He may have opened the flood gates.
 
I simply don't understand how any recruit of any caliber could stay committed to them. If you aren't even going to get a shot at a championship or a bowl game - then what's the point?

That place is going to be in turmoil for the next 3 years. Seems like a silly choice for some of these recruits.

Kind of a sick analogy, but I see this turning out kind of like the aftermath of 9/11 - at first, everyone rallied around the cause and no one played partisan politics. In about 1 year, that all fell apart. At Ped State, the players and students will rally, but then their friends, family, media, etc will start to seep into their conscience and the team will disintegrate.
 
Another interesting twist. Any scholarship athlete who wants to, as long as they stay academically eligible, may choose not to participate in the sport and still retain the scholly.

In other words. "Coach, practice sucks and you aren't playing me enough, I'm just going to be a student and you get to pay for it."

I can see this happening. Lose a couple games and the good feelings go away replaced by the reality of the situation.
 
I hope the special clause mentioned by the ncaa -- i.e., being able to go over the total # of schollies next year if you take a pennst player -- doesn't apply to other teams already on ncaa restrictions. [cough] u$c [cough]

Kiffin making a hard push to get Silas Redd to fill the weak RB link of USC team

God I hate Kiffin
Click to expand...

At the Media Day Q&A Kiffin might as well have been flashing a neon sign "Silas Redd come play here." He referenced needing to shore up their RB depth 3 or 4 times and how there would be a lot of opportunities for a RB to shine there since teams were likely planning to load up against the pass when playing them. Someone even asked him if they were pursuing him and he said they couldn't talk about specific players just like HS guys.
 
It would be interesting to see if they are restricted to 15 recruits, graduated a normal class last season, and have say 15-20 guys leave the program they could end up with 60 scholarship players this year. Another class of 15 next year replacing a graduating class of say 20 and you are suddenly in the 50's not counting walk-ons.

Is the option to leave without penalty restricted to this year or could a player stay for a year then take advantage next off-season. If that is the case they may see the ship sinking and end up with a mass bail-out next year.

You're missing the point of my post. We need a fast gamebreaker WR and after skimming their roster (thanks Buffnik) and operating in a fantasy world, I wish we could convince this guy to transfer to CU.

It wasn´t solely aimed at you, just more of a general statement.

Pretty sure they can exercise their transfer option any time during the next 4 years...so if things start to really go south in say year 2, the NCAA wanted to make sure the players still have a get out of jail free card.

I thought I read somewhere (here, of course) that they have until pre-season 2013 to transfer.
