SouthAfricanHusker Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I saw on a blog that he was in Omaha already to see if he can play this season. Does anyone know if this is even possible? I am sure they will make an exception to an all star athlete to get him through the admissions process. Thanks Quote Link to comment

I would think he would want to transfer D1 because, as long as he doesn't transfer in conference, he can sit his required year using his redshirt and he would still have 2 years to play.

And if the fall semester hasn't started yet there's still time to register. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have a vague recollection of a rule that he'd have to sit 2 years if he wanted to transfer to another Big 12 school, but I can't find that rule with a quick search. Anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment

Anyone know for sure? Ya, I found that. It's in another thread about Castille. I wonder if other big 12 schools will take a look... I think Mizzou is going to be on him like white on rice. I have faith Bo had his reasons for dismissing him, but acting with NO regard for the Unity Council seems like a Callahan move to me... Bo, WTF?! I may be mistaken, but I believe if you transfer in conference you lose an additional year of eligibility. I will look for a link on that. Yep, I was right. That should stop him from going to Mizzou or a rival in conference. Robert Marve's troubles with Miami, Randy Shannon highlight problems of transferring By JORGE MILIAN Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Saturday, January 10, 2009 When a University of Oklahoma football player wants to transfer, there's very little drama that comes along with it. "''Let him go where ever he wants to,' is pretty much all I can remember saying," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "I don't much care where they go." etc........... Conferences have their own restrictions regarding transfers. The Big 12, for instance, requires athletes who move from one of its conference schools to another to sit out two seasons before they can receive a scholarship. Big East athletes participating in football, men's basketball and women's basketball cannot transfer within the conference under any circumstances. The ACC prohibits inter-conference transfers for one year. Those policies have created a backlash from some critics who accuse the NCAA and its member schools of a double standard. They point out that head and assistant coaches often move between in-conference schools without penalty. Quote Link to comment

HuskerTrucker Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 He would be a major get talent wise for anyone...but who ever would take a chance on him would have to baby sit him constantly, otherwise he would have the same issues he had here. He obviously has a problem, since he couldn't kick the habit after numerous chances here...and IMHO if he didn't take it serious here, he won't anywhere else either. Quote Link to comment

There is no way in hades that Bo or Dr. Tom would allow him to transfer in-conference. Wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm sure you know this but I'll point out the obvious anyway - Iowa is a Big Ten school. The Iowa State Cyclones belong to the Big XII. Quote Link to comment

He would fit in well there. Have they gone more than 5 minutes within the last two years without one of their players fists running into cab drivers faces or riding mopeds drunk? Seriously that program has it bad. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 interesting you brought that up...I have been hearing rumors that same day that he was thinking about transferring to Iowa. I was sitting in Jimmy Johns the other day and overheard this lady talking about it. Quote Link to comment
Captain K Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 He almost bailed on us to go to Louisville during the recruiting process. Don't know if it's the same coaching staff still, but maybe they'd take him. Quote Link to comment
