2021 Recruiting

[GoGATech]

4 star linebacker who went to HS with Jeff Sims decommits from FSU. Not sure if we're in the mix, but Coach Thack liked the tweet.

We are in the mix. He does have a brother that plays for Miami, so they are too. I'm sure others will be as well.

Who is recruiting Branden for us... I mean other than Sims?

Watching Jeff dismantle FSU in Game 1 as a TrF just might have helped us... that, and the Woman's College dumpster fire. He will have all the opportunity he could ask for here.

Given the current kicking situation, are we considering a kicker in this class?

He should be able to see that he can play LB a whole bunch very soon.

A Suddes smirk with no bees. Transfer?

I would hit the transfer portal for this.

Speaking of the portal…Kenyatta Watson II makes it official

Is Watson eligible to play immediately?

If you mean this year, no. He’s completing the semester at UT online from home in GA I believe. He’ll have to submit a waiver for next year but I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t get it. COVID year and moving back home.

And assuming they actually treat this as a free year he should have 4 seasons left to play (After RSing in 2019).

You're imaging way too much sensibility from the NCAA

He’s moving from 900 miles away from home in Austin to 30 miles away from home in Atlanta during a pandemic. I imagine lawsuits would come into play if the NCAA tried to deny that waiver.

We have to frame that conversation, since the NCAA is not moved by logic or fairness.

 

[smokey_wasp]

I realize the ncaa is dragging its feet on granting the one time freebie to everyone. But I'd be shocked if Watson didn't get one, regardless. Any other year, who knows, but he mentions in the rivals article having several relatives get sick with covid throughout the pandemic.

 

[RoanokeJacket]

He should get a waiver for escaping the dumpster fire, like a refugee

 

[Flywheel]

lol @ y'all thinking NCAA will be fair about waivers. We're talking about the same entity that denied AC but tripped over itself trying so fast to approve Justin Fields, and then Tate Martell because Justin Fields gave his ego an owie.

This is the entity that gave all of football a freebie redshirt year because Ohio State might miss some games, and maybe not probably maybe.

Think of what "should" happen and assume the NCAA will do the opposite.

NCAA Council introduces legislation allowing one-time transfers, bowl eligibility expanded to all FBS teams

The proposal would allow players to transfer once during their careers without sitting out a year

It appears they are also stupid enough to unstupid themselves. Just once though. They may still vote against it (January).
