Heck, go wherever you think is best for you out of high school but if you realize the situation isn't ideal, make a move. Some will realize they aren't going to see the field at a power 5 school and maybe need to drop down a classification. Some will have an opportunity for upward mobility (think Isaiah Neyor) to move to a higher profile program or just to make a move to a better roster situation. Yes, some players will make ill advised moves or lack the patience to see the original plan through - which could possibly benefit them more in the long run. Ultimately, players should have the option to be able to make their own choice about where to play - just like we all have the ability to make our own choice about where we work. But they only get that choice once, which I think is a smart move on the NCAA's part. So if you find you're unhappy at your next stop. You better learn to adapt and improvise.

I tend to agree with this. 1 freebie if you make an oopsie or things just don't pan out as expected (or your coach leaves, etc). After being on two campuses, if it still isn't working, changing to a third probably isn't the answer. Beyond that, if you take care of business in the classroom you earn a 2nd free transfer as a grad transfer. Sirhornsalot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve a little grace and are often fed a ton of lies to get the signature. But after awhile it becomes a trend for the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastexhorn Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 So you think Angilau will be beatout at guard? To me tackle is weak spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your coach leaves everyone should get an extra freebie. dssl and Coot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially a $200K or $250K deal spread over 4-5 years. Thanks. I thought it was a one time deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a little faith baby, have a little faith. UTfish and java 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
