Not really. Here is another benefit to being "just Iowa." As much as we know how good our guys are, outside of the Big Ten they are still under the radar.
Major offensive player considering a transfer
- Thread starter IMCC965
- Start date
Exactly. Transfer is not an option for every player. It would be for certain players. If they are going to a situation where they can play a lot, I don't blame them one bit. The Big 10 kneecapped them. I would assume they might wait a bit longer to be sure that the destination school is going to play.
No way in hell the NCAA doesn't auto-approve any transfer from a conference where they aren't playing to one where they are playing. Lawsuit before you can say 3-2-1.
How many teams are under the 85 scholarship limit? That has not and will not be changed for the fall semester.
I think he pretty much did point to a player. He denied two but never denied ISM. Brandon Smith makes some sense since he is from the south.
They oversign but they still have to be at no more than 85 scholarship players by August 1st each year. There are very few schools that are under 85 especially this year when most schools are only allowing scholarships players to practice before start of classes.
There were a number of opt out players from those 3 conferences in the last few weeks. I would be surprised if there are only a few spots from those 30+ programs.
So based on playing one season as a redshirt-freshman, he's going pro? Highly doubt it. Kinda like many people on here we're saying Gholston would leave based on his part-time sophomore performance.
It has to be ISM. That dude could go anywhere any play for about anybody. He is the best weapon we have had in a long time and possibly the best wr we have ever had, at least under Kirk.
Why would he want to wait around for a spring season and risk getting hurt so close to the draft? One small injury could plummet him outside the draft. Let alone missing Minichamps and the NFL season. Spring football would be a brutal ask of these NFL quality players.

Would be risky for anyone, even more so for a WR. It’s a tough position to make an impact quickly...learning the plays/routes especially in a WR read heavy offense. Let alone the rapport with the QB.
There’s a reason not a ton of true freshman or even nfl rookie WRs make a big impact.

I understand your frustration, however, the potential transfer is pretty angry and just talking things out right now. Nothing's solid. When I can give more info, I will.
Alaric is the guy I most expect to opt-out, he's already a RS senior and I don't see him playing for Iowa next fall. ISM/Brandon Smith are probably 50/50 at best right now in my opinion - both are True Seniors so it wouldn't totally shock if they came back but I'd also be very surprised if they didn't enter the draft next year. Mehki - I just don't know. I like him, he does a lot of things well, but he doesn't seem to have that extra something that he excels at that would allow him to stand out.
As far as transfers, I think it would be foolish for any player to transfer right now, when there's a significant chance the other conferences eventually follow suit and cancel the season. Opt-outs from any senior wouldn't surprise me at all and I wouldn't blame them. Same for juniors. Linderbaum would shock me, he's only played 1 season at center and I would think he's got a lot of room to move up on draftboards with another season on the books.
ISM might be better off letting his resume speak for itself as is. A sub par season at another school due to leaving a new system, QB, etc. doesn't help his cause and is a pretty likely outcome of transferring. And that assumes anyone plays to begin with.
Focusing on putting up good numbers at whatever the combine / pro day turns out to be is probably his best move.
You should not have even posted this until things was more clear.
Trying to be the first with a secret is not responsible as an adult.
yeah this might piss you off but so be it.
For Seniors they can't really do that unless the NCAA is going to increase the available scholarship counts for a year, we have incoming recruits for the 2021-22 season.
I have a secret! I can't tell you what it is, but I just wanted everyone to know.
To say nothing of the fact that there are many talent hungry Big 12 and ACC schools.
The only thing I can think is for players who have no interest in playing in the spring and expect SEC, B12, and ACC to play this fall. In other words, sit out this year as a RS and then play for a B12, ACC, SEC school next fall.
Not in the same way that players who play in the fall can. This way they can go through a normal offseason in the spring and summer versus the B10 will have a weird offseason schedule if they play in the spring.
The non b1g teams won't be working out near as much in the spring as the b1g teams would...at least I think they do a lot less in the spring....at least most if it
Yeah, but it would be different types of workouts. In December, January, and February, guys who transfer to schools that play this fall (assuming that still happens) will be able to focus on strength training, building muscle mass, and filling out their bodies instead of preparing for play immediately in those months. In the spring there'll be normal workouts with limited pads, getting to know playbook, getting reps to get used to role on team. Then summer workouts to focus on speed, agility, and conditioning like a normal offseason before training hard in August to get ready for season.
Spring-ball players will have to spend more time recovering from season before strength training which will be truncated. Then they'll have to turn around quickly without much recovery time to focus on summer agility and speed and conditioning before less-intense august practices. And all of that is for players who don't get seriously injured or dinged up with hamstring, ankle, and other injuries that still require a couple months of laying off training and doing physical therapy. There's also the possibility of needing surgeries and that would be late-spring or early summer which would put playing their fall seasons in jeopardy. There's a lot to consider.
And
I would have said the same to that poster.
