UT Players to transfer

good_ken · December 17, 2005

A 4-star, and two 3-star recruits are transferring because of a lack of playing time. I wonder when these kids will figure some of this stuff out:

Hey Harry: Can the coaches go after some of these guys?

Hopefully this will start an exodus of recruits not chosing bigger schools and going to mid-majors in hopes of starting immediately rather than backing up someone for 3 years.

I'm putting the DB on my Christmas wish list.

Look for these guys to end up at a 1-AA school. With the rules making players sit out a year if they transfer to another 1-A school and no sit out time at a 1-AA it make the 1-AA more desirable in many cases.

I guess it is possible. For the most part, Dickey hasn't been real big on transfers.

...and this makes Dickey even a bigger idiot.

The 1-AA transfer rule was made to keep schools like ours down. They don't want these guys transfering to mid major schools. That is why the incentive was given to move them out of 1-A.

I recently saw that a soph DB from Ok. St., started 9 games this year, is planning on transferring as well.

I can only recall 3 transfers recently. QB Lee Culpepper, the OL fron Abeline Christian, and Beau Davidson. Depending on the reason for the kid leaving I'm in favor of DD trying to get one here and there.

I think that the tranfer rule was meant more so that a player doing good at a lower D-1 school couldnt have a good year somewhere and then transfer to a UT or OU. It would be like playing in the minors and then calling yourself up when ready. Although it has hurt the lower D-1 schools also.

It has to be that way unless they make some kind of one way rule that only players from top fifty ranked schools can move to 51-119 ranked teams and only if they did not start any games that season.

I still think the staff needs to give some of these 3 and 4-star players a look. You never know who'll like the atmosphere out here.

Seems to work for JJ.....just look at what he is bringing in from Arkansas and Arizona State!!!.....works for Okie State too....they thrive on transfers!!

DD needs to go after any "class" D-1A transfer he can get his hands on....especially NOW!! To ignore this talent is slapping us in the face. I do not believe that DD used all his scholarships last year or the year before. If UNT could become a repository for some of this BCS talent that wants more playing time then UNT has improved its chances on the OOC circuit. If DD refuses to consider ACTIVELY pursuing this talent then RV then, as the Romans used to say, "I have crossed the Rubicon and the die has been cast."

DD needs to grab some star guys for the O/D lines. After looking back at some of our SBC games, the game would have been won had the D been a hair stronger. A lot of games in conference were lost by less than 10 points. A stronger defense and an offense that could at least make a drive last 3 or 4 plays longer (even it results in a punt) would give the D time to rest.
