SMU Lands a SEC Transfer

[Alasdair]

Not at all. I guess he played at both Tyler and B-C, one year each. B-C is a four year university, so it must be alright to transfer up to Div 1 without penalty. At LSU he was a redshirt for his only year.

BC is in FCS which IS division 1...

This is AWESOME!

An equally important side benefit of this transfer is that this gives us more flexibility with respect to when and how June works our young OLs into the game. Allows us to ease them in when the flow of the game warrants it.

Very true. This increases depth across the board. Love this move.

lol at immediate spin against the "June bashers." It's a great pickup, and it's wonderful to have him come in and be able to immediately protect Gilbert's blind side for two years. Combined with Palcic's focus on technical excellence, this was great news to wake up to.

you woke up at 1030?

Close, but no, I was sitting at my desk at 8:20AM when Rivals broke it.

i would kill to be able to sleep til 1030, though.

You need to read the entire thread. It now appears he never attended B-C at all. He stayed at Tyler JC and it appears he did not play at all last year--even for Tyler. Very confusing set of circumstances. Anyway everyone's posts are up on both boards and the advertisers are pleased.

I'm lucky enough to be able to do it every once in a while. It's oh so wonderful.

He didn't play at a JC, he played at Bethune-cookman, they are fcs. He either graduated or is getting a family hardship waiver, that is the only way he would be able to play this year.

You can transfer FSC to FBS, just not FBS to FBS

[goldenstang]

If you transfer from FCS to FBS you have to sit out a year just like if you were transferring from FBS to FBS. If you transfer from FBS to FCS then you don't have to sit out. If what you said was the case then you would be hearing of it happening a lot more but it virtually never happens. If you could transfer at will from FCS to FBS then FBS schools would just use FCS as their minor league basically.

This is a moot point because apparently he never attended Bethune-Cookman, but that is the rule, if you transfer down a division you don't have to sit out but if you transfer within a division or up a division you have to sit out a year.

He must have missed a year after he played at the JC. If he missed a year I hope he is not rusty. Practice will tell if he still has it or not.

The kid is working out with Houston Texans linemen and personal trainers this summer and will be strong and ready when camp begins....he will dominate!

Good.

[lwjr]

I assume he has been accepted into SMU. The way he has bounced around makes one a little nervous concerning classroom situation. I hope it does work out for him and welcome to the Hilltop...

His mother was posting on Rivals--all is good, from grades to playing two years to playing this fall. Never even committed to B-C and certainly never attended.

Seems like quite a "Mom" whose son was not happy with the social life (drinking and such) and the fact LSU wanted to put him into a major that would ensure he would have plenty of time for football and make it to practice, etc. He did not want the "jock" major communications everyone was put into. Seems like someone should look into this, but they won't...Anyway no one got ahead of him on the depth chart, he just has different values than the LSU program has.

He did not play at all last year, but the family invested in a first class, professional trainer and the kid is supposed to be in great shape. Moms never lie!

He sounds a little like "Beach", but taller and larger.

Her comments have been deleted from the board...LSU can pay players, force them into non-educational majors, over sign, and we have to worry about a "Mom" signing on to a fan based recruiting board! We need to be in the SEC!

that's too funny (and sad). When I saw her post last night, I was no my way to bed, and told my wife "Hey, I have to read this now before it gets deleted"
