Good. Happy he gets to play (if we do have a season).

[ELDER06 248]

Good to see transfer rules remain totally inconsistent. There’s no legitimate reason he shouldn’t have to sit out.

[irishrush 60]

I cannot follow any logic with transfers. It seems like anyone we get has to abide by the rules.

 

Was his hardship that he got beat out by a 3 star and it emotionally affected him?

[stdntDrvr 12]

Transfer out of ND = immediately eligible

 

Transfer into ND = sit a year

 

Wish all the best for Phil!

They should just tell everyone the rules don’t apply to QBs.

So if he goes and has a fantastic year and develops into a stud, will that finally solidify the argument about BK and his ability to develop QB’s? Wait.....I already know the answer.....

[irishrush 60]

Really, no one that has transferred has had a fantastic year.

 

I think it speaks more to the ability to recruit, or properly judge a recruit.

Correct. Kiel, Crist, Zaire, Golson, Wimbush did nothing after leaving.

Just to nitpick, but Kiel is pretty high up in all Cincy passing records. He may have been a disappointment coming in as a 5*, but he was better than what ND had around that same time.

 

I'm still not sure whether to blame the players for not living up to their recruiting rankings, the coaches for recruiting the wrong players or the coaches for not developing the players ND has though.

He also got injured twice so he could of been either better or had higher stats. Kiel was an upgrade like you said to what we had at the time.

 

As for Phil, I hope he tears it up. I was a fan.

Good for Phil.

 

Transfers getting approval appear to be based on the financial ability to hire high-powered lawyers.

It’s not either or. Both sides bear responsibility, to what degree also varies from player to player. I think Zaire was going to be really damn good, but he never recovered from that nasty ankle fracture.

To be fair, all of those guys except Kiel were one year left guys. Jurk has 3 years left.

[echo88 74]

Not sure what he was thinking. Brian Kelly is a QB guru...hed definitely have thrived here after his soph season...

[EddieAngel 508]

Good. Happy he gets to play (if we do have a season).

 

Yep. Good luck and Gods speed. Hope he does well.

If we make it far enough to play BC, watch Jurko tear us up on the keeper.
