Potential New '15 Safety Signee Before Camp

CoachClayborne · July 31, 2015

JUCO DB Chris Morgan could be late addition to 2015 Class pending on current signee not qualifying. Could happen this weekend.

Thanks for posting coach. Watching his video, dude can lay the wood now. Big hitter.

BillySee58 · July 31, 2015

Wonder who it would be. I checked the local JUCOs to see if any of our signees double-signed with one of them but I didn't see it. Sure seemed like the coaches believed one wouldn't make it with us putting out a few late 2015 offers. All of our players are on the roster so that should be interesting to see.

Thanks for posting!

What about a player who had to leave, like Ochs? Does that open up a spot for a 2015 scholarship?

no you lose defection spots until dec mid term period.

Ah. Thanks for the info.

Harry · July 31, 2015

Ah. Thanks for the info.

In other words, if someone accepts a scholarship and then leaves you can't immediately replace that spot until signing day. At that point you are down one and can replace it. Our best hope for Ochs is that his family situation stabilizes and he is able to rejoin the team. Otherwise we can't really replace his specific spot until Dec mid term signing or high school signing day in Feb of next year.

on the note of Ochs.

would he qualify for a freeze in his eligibility clock because of this?

So can I but I am not a big hitter.

No such thing as freezing the clock. 5 year clock starts running when player becomes a full time college student.

Unless he could receive some kind of waiver, like the 50-something fella at Sul Ross State.

I Know Damarcus participated all summer in workouts but man... Dear sweet football baby Jesus please don't let this person be Damarcus. PLEASE, it is all I have to hang onto for the 2015 season.

Are you sure about this... How do the Mormons get away with it then at BYU?? They go on their "Mission" (down the street and blow up the weight room) then come back as jacked 28yr old playing against 20 year old men.

Because they don't start school. Once you enroll full-time the clock starts ticking.

I'm 85% sure the guy in question is going to be Xavier Grindle... Only recruit we've heard absolutely nothing about this whole summer and he didn't move in with the other guys in july. outside of him, I can only think of maybe Rodney Bendy. I think if Grindle, a JUCO product, wasn't going to make it, we would know by now versus a HS kid. We'll see but I'd bet it is one of those 2.

greenit · August 1, 2015

it would make the most sense that we are looking at DB due to another DB not qualifying. We should know soon enough.

No, some do. Think Tyler Haws the basketball player at BYU. Played in 09-10 with Jimmer Fredette, went on a mission for two years, then came back and played in 12-13, 13-14, and 14-15. Missions are the one exception I know of that can freeze an eligibility clock.

greenit · August 1, 2015

Yes, going on active duty or religious mission can stop the clock for a period of time. Many Mormons go on their mission after freshman year.

MeanGreen13 · August 1, 2015

has anyone heard or seen anything about bendy though? have even caught a glimpse of him with the team in any photos...

found this videos of their workout and Bendy is there in the purple pimp Suit at the beginning. that leaves Grindle as the likely culprit... Too bad cause he would have likely been the fastest guy on the team from day 1.

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.
