Coach Jones On WFAA With Dale Hansen Sunday Night at 10:30

Is a transferring student athlete the same as a recruit? He has to make the first contact with a new coaching staff after he gets permission from his existing coaching staff to transfer. Besides, it's not like it is a secret...his name and his visit to SMU are all over the Internet.

yeah, we've seen the same from every other high-profile transfer across the country.

You want to give me one example of a Coach commenting on a recruitable athlete-transfer or not. This is first grade NCAA rules interpretation and he said it on a public forum. Its an NCAA violation and no one seems to be awake at SMU

Why would anything be a rules violation...Hansen just asked him and JJ got caught off guard and just answered that yes he visited the campus....nothing more, nothing less, just like any other potential student visiting a school on an unofficial basis. He didn't say he was recruiting him or even that he wanted him to play for him.

I thought recruiting a transfering athlete was a violation. The transferee has to contact the school he wants to transfer to first. Right?

Well Stallion, now is your chance to bring forth an Action.

He's already released right??

by **Stallion** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:03 pm

Once you get a release which he has then he's free game-you just can't comment on it or on the quality of a particular recruit.

okay, still looking...... but, what the heck is the rationale in not allowing a coach to comment on a recruit? I don't get it.

also, is the rule the same for high school recruits vs. transfers? released transfer vs. not released?

Are you sure he's transfering to SMU? I haven't seen any threads :roll:

about it.

aha...okay, maybe this is one. Petrino info on Mallett's visit to Arkansas.
I don't have a scout sub, so don't have the entire story, but this lead sounds like Petrino discusses the visit.
