Zinzan 123 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 3 hours ago, McLoofus said: We got our transfers from jucos and a program that was basically purged after a systemic rape culture was exposed. OK is getting a backup QB from bama. That is not the rich getting richer. OSU is getting a backup QB from uga. Same story. I just don't see this massive shift of players who are putting up numbers and winning games at Directional U sliding over to teams that have recruited the Tuas, Trevors and Bos. It's rarely going to make sense for either side. I think what you'll see much more often is the same thing we mostly see now- P5 non-starters moving laterally or down. If players are allowed to transfer and play immediately when they don't win the starting job, we may see more stacking of 5-star QBs at schools likely to make a championship run. If the 5-star QB clearly gets beat (Kelly Bryant, Josh Fields), he just transfers to another team. I don't know how terrible that is, but it changes things. Last year, you'd think Josh Fields really had a career decision to make in choosing between Georgia and Auburn, but not so much if he knew he could always transfer out and play in 2019 if he couldn't unseat Fromm.

It’s a Richard move when players have graduated and the NCAA needs to take it out of the conferences and therefore the coaches hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubie17 65 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Does the block by OU to WVU increase the chances he signs with Auburn? When will he make a decision by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the okies will back down on that decision....makes them look really bad ….since they apparently did not have plans to play him this year and were out shopping for a different QB. Not sure if that affects AU at all.....thinking it is a non-issue pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but moving up is costly if you have to sit out a year....though I do recall some yacking on this site about trying to grab the QB from Jax who had looked good in the playoffs. If the FCS guys could move up without sitting a year I'm betting there would be a lot more of it than just the few grad trans like we've gotten the last few years. .

Lawyers couldn't do anything. It's well within BIG 12 rules as they are now. It was probably the nonstop bashing from college football fans for 7-8 hours straight that got OU to change their stance.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,679 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I just don’t think it was for his best either coming here.

Sure they could ...file a lawsuit, get a friendly judge to put out a ruling of some kind and cost the Big 12 a lot of money and further embarrassment. BUT you are probably right, the public outcry was enough to shame them into doing the right thing. The next best thing would be for WVa to beat the okies next season.

I agree. I thought it was very hypocritical of them not to let Kendall transfer as a GT and play immediately when they JUST accepted a GT in Hurts who will be able to play immediately.
