Rodney Hood Transfering

[MerrittsMustache]

I'm going to givet his one a "no comment". I will say this, I'm not sure why everyone seemingly thinks Pitino is one of the "good guys" in Coaching and he's considered clean?? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Who thinks that?

Is anyone truly "clean" these days?  I'm betting not.

Could Louisville give MSU Jared Swopshire's expiring contract plus cash considerations?

nice. this comment got me laughing

[Golden Avalanche]

Would have been nice to get a second chance at this exciting prospect but, alas, he shall haunt us instead.

[brewcity77]

Some tweets out there that he might be heading to Louisville, that this is the school he had in mind before he even asked out, and that MSU might make tampering protests.

UL fans on the Scout site are acting like it's a done deal. Wonder who they'll dismiss, as they're over for next year if they add Hood.

UL makes room for this kid in a hurry. Wish we had chance but think this is UL all the way.

If this document is accurate he could, but he would have to walk on for two years (redshirt year and one more).  Would think that makes it unlikely he would. 

A lot can change after a year in school.  Wouldn't be surprised if he's willing to go further away now.  If it's based on talent alone we'd love to have him, not sure our scholarship situation will allow it though.  Going to guess that based on a strong freshman season he will get interest from at least one big time program that he won't want to pass up.

Intra-conference transfer in the SEC is only applicable to a SA "...who does enroll and leaves before end of first term of enrollment."  If I'm not mistaken, "term" is typically a semester (or trimester, quarter, etc.), not an academic year.  In that case, he would be outright barred from transferring to another SEC school, no?

[Hoopaloop]

Maybe he wanted immediate playing time. He started from day one at MSU. Sit out next year, play alongside Jamil, Steve Taylor, and Anderson in '13 and be the superstar in '14.

Maybe.  More than likely he wants to play in the South and will stay in the South, likely Louisville.

The NC State guys jumped on it fast, hoping that he went to a potential great team who underperformed and then lost every other starter except him - while NC State was in complete tormoil when he was making the decision and now the future looks great.

They admit no evidence he was really considering them - man a good 6-8 guard to contend with in two seasons makes Lville hard to contend with despite how good I believe we are going to be.  Hopefully reports are premature.

Pitino's already had to cut Swoopshire.  I suppose cutting another player wouldn't be beyond his consideration.  But what do they say to Blackshear who plays the same position?

[chapman]

Multiple reports on Twitter that Duke and Ohio State are in the strongest on him.  I think we can forget about being in the mix.

With Kentucky getting these one and dones and Louisville trying to shed their
roster for a better player and other big wigs are doing this cheating,
MY POINT IN BEATING A DEAD HORSE-----WHY DID WE BITCH ABOUT BUZZ FOR DROPPING NEWBILL LAST YEAR? Be glad and hoping our program is clean.

[Goose]

Earl
The game has changed and we need to continue change with the big boys. This fan was not upset over Newbill, that is how things work today. It s two way street and kids can leave if they feel slighted or program can suggest a kid move on for not living up to expectations. That is why I say you have to be recruiting every day of the year.

Let's hope not...

I am speculating but likely because some programs are successful without going down that path, one is right here in the state. There are some boosters and administrative types (Goose can confirm) that look to our neighbors and see a successful program without the turnover. 

Do not forget the NCAA legislation that recently passed (Marquette opposed this legislation) that will allow schools to offer multi-year scholarships.

In effect, some schools will offer guarantees that the kids will be allowed to stay multiple years with a multi-year scholarship and that could work against programs that have a reputation for Creaning as they will likely only offer 1 year scholarships.  Imagine if you are around a 100 rated kid and MU offers a 1 year scholarship renewable each year and Wisconsin offers a 4 year guaranteed scholarship?  As Goose says, the game is changing but not always the way one thinks.  How the big boys are doing it is not universal in nature.  Some big boys are doing it one way and others are going about it an entirely different way.

Are you speaking of the state you live in (California), or the state that Marquette is located in (Wisconsin)?

[Earl Tatum]

Hey Goose I agree, and the game has changed. So take advantage of the
rules. But, I remember the blogs sort of condeming Buzz. Go MU.

Remind me: what effect do "one-and-done" transfers have on schools offering multi-year schollies? None, right?! Only the graduation hit, am I correct?

And is there a penalty for kids who want out and/or schools cutting them loose?

The old GSR's basic rule was that if a student has eligibility remaining and qualifies academically for the next term (e.g. a sophomore who transfers, declares for the draft, etc. but would have been a junior academically had he returned), then the school wouldn't be hit.  However, with the new rules and the multi-year stuff, I'm interested in seeing how they've addressed the issue you raised (i.e. should a school who offers a multi-year be penalized if the student only "fulfills" one year?) as well as a number of other concerns the UCONN thingy has brought to light, specifically, how does the delayed reporting affect scholarship situations at a school who offers multi-year scholarships to all of its student-athletes (i.e. if all 13 players are under multi-year scholarships from 2012-2015, and sanctions are passed whereby a school loses 2 scholarships in 2014-15 - a situation that could not have been foreseen by the school because of the delay - does the NCAA force the school to default on a multi-year scholarship/contract?)

Nope.  Pitino needed to cut Swoopshire to make room for his freshman recruits.
