Bo Williams Transfer

Yellow Snow · February 2, 2011

Hey guys, i thought you might find this interesting...

One of the backup runningbacks is looking to transfer from Iowa State to somewhere he can play more. He's more of a power back and we went to more of a spread offense. Below came from his Facebook:

>>>KEEPING IT 1000.. FB FAM!!! I AM TRANSFERING TO A DIFFRENT SCHOOL TO GET MY MASTERS AND ALSO TO PLAY BALL FOR 2 MORE YRS WERE SHOULD I GO?? UCONN, USF, OREGAN, NORTH TX, BATHUNE COOKMAN, OR STANDFORD?? MMMMM CAN Y'ALL HELP ME OUT MAKING MY CHOICE FRIDAY!!

P.S. THINKING BOUT UCONN JUST TO PLAY ISU AGAIN OOOWWWEE WILL BE FUN BUT I LIKE BATHUN...E COOKMAN I CAN REALLY BE THE MAN THERE!!! HELP<<

He's a really talented guy, and a good kid. Just didn't fit our offense. He'd be a great guy for Mac to get.

McCarney's job is on the line if this Williams goes to Oregan or Standford, that would be a huge black eye for our program.

So how much eligibility would he have? I guess he would have to sit out a year if he transfers, then would have one year remaining?

As far as I know, he'd have two years to play. He took a medical hardship this past year. Got a concussion in spring ball and was never "cleared". He wasn't going to play so our staff held him out in order to get his year back. I don't know what sort of transfer rules apply in a situation like this.
