KABrother88, thx for putting in the effort to post all that information. Looks like we have landed some talent and are in the running for a few others.

 

lu cards, that is good news as he is a player! Just read he is a finalist for the WRS Award on both offense and defense...

 

Don't need to say more!

Not sure Kimler from Ned is committed. Spoke to his parents 1 wk ago and he was still up in the air. LU doesn't offer his degree interest. Maybe things have changed in the last week. Night Hawk, as they call him, would be a great addition to the team.

Hey coach I'm not sure if that was an old picture that you posted but a couple of those players (Malcolm Washington and James Adams-Hurd) are showing as committed to Fresno State and Old Dominion respectively

His Rivals profile has him weighing 315 and at the OT position.

You're right coach...missed that. Doesn't anyone know when the athletic department will release any news of mid year transfers?...from my understanding when the players signs the school can name names...signing day is in one month and it's been awful quite on this thread...hopefully we will start getting some more info

 

Also for the way I've understood a greyshirt doesn't count against your 5 year eligibility clock...if he grayshirted in 2012 he could have redshirted in 2013 and still have 4 years left correct?...I couldn't find a participation log for CU but he doesn't show up on the season stat sheets

 

Here's an article about Jeff Thomas transferring to Lamar. He did redshirt last year due to hamstring problems so he might have 4 years of eligibility left.

 

Thomas turned heads when he was healthy and participating in practices, but he was consistently hampered by a bad hamstring in the spring and summer last year, which led to a redshirt year. He will be eligible to play next season without sitting out because Lamar plays at the Football Championship Subdivision level, one step down from the Football Bowl Subdivision.
