I actually wonder if the B1G would put any sort of stipulation that kids couldn't transfer elsewhere in the conference? Seems cannibalistic if it becomes open season on another program's players and teams are fighting over transfers. I'm sure for financial reasons the B1G wants PSU to remain as competitive as possible throughout whatever sanctions are there, and letting their current roster fall apart would not help that.

I know you guys like to speculate, as do I, but I highly doubt they simply allow every kid to transfer unless they shut down the football program for a few years. My guess is they would allow the juniors and seniors transfer, but that would be it. We'll find out tomorrow though.

Shane Morris not included in official elite 11. By all non-espn related accounts he threw better than anyone else over the last 3 days. I can't wait to see him on campus.

Those schools already dont pay much attention to scholarship limits even now .. what makes you think this situation would open up their eyes anymore?

The rule was that any player who's eligibility expired during a year in which there was a postseason ban would be allowed to transfer. So for USC it was RS JR, JR, RS SR, and SR year players.

If there was a 4-year ban it would default that anyone could leave since technically all players (except incoming Freshman who could be there 5 years) would fall into that category.

completely ridiculous, I can't remember a single qb (including 5*) that has been a finished product after their junior year of hs, he has all the tools and he continues to improve, seems like every event he's gone to he has performed better than the last. The main knock on him early was the accuracy because of him throwin all fastballs. He won the golden jersey award for accuracy at the elite 11. What more can you ask of the kid? for him to be NFL ready as a hs senior

Can't throw TDs and win games in the classroom. Something is off about these E11 rankings when everyone watching the stuff on the field say he's at or near the top but he doesn't make the top 11. You'd think on the field would count for more when it's the only thing that matters come gametime

Agreed. Will wait to see what is up. I understand the competition was tough. But ... when all the other recruiting services said SM was a top 2 QB at the event, I start to question the grading scales here.

Is this an event you need to 'fit the mode' to win?

... which was referenced as a negative for him I believe. If all he has to do is work on reads and chalk talk, I am not concerned. As I have said, let him get to UM where coaches will work on these mental aspects. The physical play cannot be chalked, and he has it.

This. +1

I'll take the QB who is making the throws and winning games over the guy shining behind the scenes. For all we know, Jack Kennedy could be the brightest football mind on the team this year. However, that doesn't mean he should be starting over Denard or DG.

A2 Pioneer on 8/24 .... SM wrath starts to unleash ...

+1 we are absolutely getting a physical freak at qb, this kid has a cannon, can make all the throws, is quick and athletic and he's just a great guy. I wouldn't trade morris for anyone else in this class. I am very excited for him to wear a winged helmet and expect great things from him in the future.
