Guest IrishTobey Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 My buddy called me last night and said he read an article that a top cornerback recruit from last year, (he thought the name was Garvin) was interested in transferring to ND. I actually have 2 questions. 1.) Has anybody heard about a cornerback transferring to ND and 2.) what are the rules at ND for transferrs. I know the BB team has taken a few the last few years but I didn't think the football team did. My enquiring ND mind wants to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SirJohn Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I am not sure. I know we do not take JUCO's. If transferring from one division 1 to another I think it was that they have to sit out a year?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SirJohn Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Toby. Here's the NCAA ruling on transfers. (Although it keeps saying ino is out of date?) I read it as the kid must sit out a year if from one 4 year college to another. Which would not really do much cause if he was able to play he still is too far behind in Weis playbook. It's in pdf if you want to wade through it. I believe there is an appeal system to play immediately, but even if granted again he would be light years behind even a freshmen player at ND JUCO's> One of the factors Urban insisted on was to allow Juco transfers and Administration said NO! http://www.ncaa.org/library/general/transfer_guide/2004-05/2004-05_transfer.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluester2000 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Word around campus was that Urban was getting lowballed by the admins ($1 mill/year from the Irish vs. $2 mill/year from the Gators), and wanted to be able to load the program with anybody he wanted. The two most popular demands of Urban: 1) Lowered standards for a few (3-5?) recruits every year. 2) No questions asked for 1 or 2 players a year. Could very well included jucos. When ND refused to give him either the extra $1 mill/year or the players he thought he'd need, he went to Florida... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IrishTobey Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 thanks for the info guys. i knew the rules on transferrs but i was just curious to see if the football team was going to take a few in like the basketball team does. i know they won't let juco's in but i was just wondering about letting a kid transferr from another d-1 school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SirJohn Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Here's a disgusting aspect on transfers resulting from Katrina. I am sorry to see some Southern Scholls behave in this manner when things are serious elsewhere. http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/sports/article.adp?id=20050913195209990009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
