Class of 2015 Any Chance for Bringing on any UAB Players?

[Janner]

Im sure almost everyone is now aware of the soon to be closure of the UAB football program (there was athread on the Football board about this). The team was 6-6 this year and may be headed to a bowl. There are obvious some players who could step right in and contribute in a very meaningful way and the NCAA usually grants waivers for transfers in these situations to be able to play right away. For those "in the know" has anyone heard if the recruitment of players from UAB might be an option?

Offense averaged 33 points per game. QB is a junior from California - JUCO kid with one year remaining.

Running back appears to be a stud and just a sophomore. Ran for 1600 yards.

I think there are more than a few guys on that team that can help us, Ane I absolutely think we should vulture that program.

Very sad situation for the program, but I think we could use some seasoned players who can come in and contribute right away. Could be a win-win in finding some of these kids a new home and improving the team at the same time. This would be a better option, IMO, than going the JUCO route as far as filling gaps. I really really hope the coaches are willing to make some calls. Averaging 33 pts a game, hell id be willing to take a flyer on their OC too if it ment bringing in some of their better players

Their RB looks pretty legit. Wonder if they have any veteran talent on their OL with a year or two left. Would be nice to add another player capable of starting with experience.

 

[RF2044]

OL--especially OT

CB

DE

WR

Geez, I'd say if they have a returning starter at any position it would be worth a look.

Vincent Hunter would be quite a coup.

How many UAB players would gain admission to SU?

How many UAB players would gain admission to SU?

They are fine academically. Their medical school is top tier. Dr James Andrews is on their faculty and is pretty well known.

Which of course has minimal relevance to their student athletes academics.

 

[Noexcuse]

Can transfer to another school and not count against the scholly limits?

A vast majority of the UAB players were 2 star recruits, and their collegiate performance has to be judged against the quality of competition playing C-USA foes. I honestly doubt there are more than a couple who could make a meaningful contribution to the SU program.

Go to the UAB website , roster , and read Vincent Hunter's bio. Please.

 

[kcsu]

They would have given us all that we could handle this year

Go to the UAB website , roster , and read Hunter Vincent's bio. Please.

Damn he looks impressive! Young player too. Bring him in, please!

 

[bothsocksup]

im sure most of the poaching will be done by southern schools

 

[CousCuse]

T.J. McCollum would be another great transfer prospect.

 

[JoeSU]

Vincent looks solid and would address a position of need, but as I said, I don't see more than a couple of UAB players who would represent an upgrade over our current players and verbals.

You mean they probably could have beaten us.
