If you are a talented QB and you think you may have a shot at the next level there are two issues which are of paramount importance in your choice of a school: the type of offense that a team runs and if they are committed to throw the ball and second, what the depth chart at QB looks like. A guy like this wants to be a multi year starter.
Right, so he looked up and saw a guy in his class who barring poor play or injury will block his ability to play for his entire career. Hoak is also looking at this and if he does not win playing time this year I bet he will graduate early and transfer as a graduate with two years eligibility.
Yes but once he lost he took his ball and went home. No learning what he can improve on. No working harder to get better. He wasn’t handed the job so he got salty and went home.
You seem to have a misunderstanding of what you're talking about.
What are you this kids dad or something? You have to be fun a parties. If you read the article, you see that it sounds like the Frost and the staff seem to have had no idea he had withdrawn. As for the promotion stuff. There no guarantee of getting the starting job at a new school. He now only has 3 year of eligibility left because he is not going play anywhere beside maybe juco in 2018 and based on the time of year he may not be able to play there either. Terry Wilson didn’t decide to transfer a week before his teams season started. This kid quit football and school 7 days before kickoff. Regardless of how you feel, he was granted his release today and with most school already starting he better be scrambling to find a place to go.
Don't even know the kid, but it's pretty common sense that a high profile quarterback that's already sat out a red shirt year, wouldn't want to sit behind a true freshman if other opportunities present themselves. If it was an upperclassmen with experience it would be a bit different. Very solid chance it was either now or later. Frost wasn't even the coach when the kid picked Nebraska.
Juco is his only route. No university will enroll a student this late considering application deadlines ended months ago. When it comes to football he hurting himself by trying to find a team to take him in August when most schools already prepping for a season opener this week at every level.
Not necessarily. Most schools just started this week and last week. They still have students enrolling late and would easily accommodate a student athlete in this circumstance. Also, as I previously pointed out, he may be attending a school that's does quarters instead of semesters, in which case they wouldn't have started yet. He could also be enrolling for half semester courses that wouldn't start until the 2nd half of the semester, sometime in October. He would still be considered an eligible student athlete now, since it would be this semester that he would be enrolled in classes.
Most large universities will not accept a an application this late into a year regardless of situation or semester vs quarters. Has nothing to do with what class he enrolls in whether is is 8 weeks or 16 has to do with admission deadlines. Being an athlete makes it even more difficult because there’s so much more to do than a non athlete student. Unless he grey shirts. Most rosters are set by this point in the year so again juco is his only route. And it hurts him because now he’s sitting the bench and playing catch up at a juco and hoping to get a enough of a look to go somewhere next spring. He would been better off hanging out at Nebraska and then transferring in December. Because at this point most would say he is not gonna see much turf anywhere at any level. No coach is going to get a quarterback this late into a season and just make him a starter right away.
It’s sounds like this would of been his 3 semester at Nebraska. And was a redshirt freshman. And being an athlete maybe the only thing that will save him but regardless he’s not going play much at all anywhere he’s goes in 2018. It’s August.
Lol, I'm guessing you haven't been to college recently? Most schools will accept new admits up to 2 weeks into a new term. Most also have rolling application windows and enrollment periods now. How do you think basketball players get admitted several days into the semester when reclassifying late or late transfers. Happens every year and they always let them enroll. Lynn Bowden enrolled late for us last year. Quarters usually start after Labor day, he could easily get admitted and enrolled before then. FYI, 8 week semester courses don't have to be enrolled until 5 days after the class begins. So if the class started October 15th, the student would have until Oct 20th to add or drop it. Again, plenty of time to do so. And no, you don't have to be enrolled in August to join a class that starts in October . Open application windows mean a student can apply up until the add/drop date for a given semester or half semester.They obviously compete SMH. Take Hoak. Barring an injury from Terry, he obviously picked the wrong school and wasted his time here. Stoops is so loyal to the starter, even if we are up 40 on C. Michigan he will still never see the field. Stoops is hard headed. But Hoak has wasted his time and Danny barring an injury. Shame.
That’s a pretty dumb outlook on the situation. Hoak is one injury away, of a running QB I might add, from being our starting QB. as far as Danny Clark goes how many QBs do you want to play exactly? Just because you go to a school as a QB doesn’t guarantee you get to be the starter at some point.
You are leaving out the scenario a team takes him and he learns the offense this season and takes over next season, or is at least much better prepared to fight for the job. Sitting the bench at Nebreska while planning to transfer in 5 months is pointless and dumb. No one would be gaining anything. Move on and welcome new opportunities. What's any different in transferring in August vs the other 11 months of the year? If he's good enough, he will find the right opportunity.
Actually, I think today is the last day for add/drop at UK. So they could enroll up until midnight tonight.
