Transfers

[gofurman]

No aspersions toward this young man personally…

…but…

NOTHING PERSONAL. But having one of our best DL play against us next year sucks. That’s the truth. Grad schools are becoming a real weapon in football

EDIT. I hope to learn he goes elsewhere and that this is just an offer not an intent. More - I see he got offers at UTC and Murray State etc

Welp…you spoke it into existence. At least he ain’t gonna be a bellhop…

Woulda preferred he went OOC instead of in conference as now we have to face 'our own' .. that kinda makes me ill. however, not NEARLY as ill as if he were at the Citadel !! I'll take UTC over Citadel any day.. any.. day.

Assuming he went to UTC for another degree - Grad Degree - do we think this (not many Grad programs) may become a real disadvantage for Furman in the football arena?

GF yes in the short term, probably not in the long run or not near as much. Once the extra Covid year ages off in 3 years there won’t be near as many grad transfers. Unless they change it, it goes back to 4 years eligibilty to be completed in 5 academic years.

The COVID eligibility is a bizarre wrinkle.

Players received an extra year of eligibility for the '20-'21 season. I assume that if you were not on the roster or eligible to play in the '20-'21 season, then you do not receive the extra eligibility.

Put differently, Furman's '21 and '22 signing classes won't have the extra year attached to them.

Never heard of the university of Charleston. WV maybe?

It's strange to ask a question on a message board that you can find the answer to in about 2 seconds.

One of our coaches, Nick Verna, was hired out of the same school.

No, it’s not strange at all.
I do it quite often.
What’s the value of the message board if fellow posters cannot politely answer your question. Being nice, rather than mean, is a good personal characteristic that we all should strive to develop and cultivate.

It literally takes longer to post the question than to find the answer.

I'm just here trying to enforce a higher quality of post-manship.

Fair enough. I’ll try to keep that in mind and try to do my own part of “higher quality”.

High quality is overrated

FUBeAR is very happy to see this. Feelin’ all prescient-like on this Xmas Eve….below copied from “2022 Commitments” thread…

Cuz he’s an FCS addict, FUBeAR tuned into the Morehead State @ PC game on 3/13/21…and LOVED what he saw from young Mr. Huff. He was a little raw and pressing just a very wee little bit too much (could have been due to the talent around him), but his arm looked very strong with a rapid release, solidly accurate, & with great mobility / ability as a runner…and TOUGHNESS just exuded from him. FUBeAR speculated he would be an excellent fit in the Offense that he thinks FU wants to run.

If he recalls correctly, as odd as it may sound, there were some fan concerns about FU’s QB position at the time. So FUBeAR texted a few former FU Teammates speculating whether or not FU might be able to somehow get young Mr. Huff attracted to a scholarship program and get him to depart the metropolis of Clinnon in exchange for the quiet life of Travelers Rest. He entered the Transfer Portal on 9/28/21. Excited to see FU has offered him.

Hmmm…9 months / just over 40 weeks from gestation of FUBeAR’s idea conception to delivery. Does that mean FUBeAR is Tyler’s FU father?
