Chaz Owens in Transfer Portal

[SUFaninNJ]

Going to Ranger school. Cool.

He and Bender can run through the halls singing “I wanna be an airborne ranger!”

Could have done that at ESF.

I was thinking of different Rangers.

Appears to be. The school retweeted this.

Huh! One of the odder transfers I think you will see.

 

[MSOrange]

I must be missing something, how can you transfer from a 4 year college to a junior college?

As long as he is not at JUCO because he didn't qualify out of high school, a guy can transfer to JUCO and then back to Division 1 without sitting out a season.

I don't think that's what makes it odd. I'm trying to avoid being cruel, but is this kid getting any practical guidance with respect to his situation (i have no insight into whatever that situation is)?

Who knows, maybe he always wanted to earn a certificate in cosmetology operation? I don't think that is a program offered at SU.

Cam Newton?

Cam Newton?

Well, there you go. Obviously Chaz is trying to win the Heisman.

He has 2 years - probably closer to 3 - of credits at Syracuse. He can always go back to a 4 year school for a few semesters to finish whatever degree he was working on. This gives him the opportunity to actually play basketball a little bit longer.

That's a fair point. And also, how many colleges have a Rodeo team?

Have to believe he was guaranteed a starting spot and wants to give it his all to show D1 programs that he has game. And he should follow his dream and not be deterred by skeptics and naysayers. Prove them all wrong Chaz.

And if all else fails, he'll still inherit some of his dad's money.

Seems like his day is behind him and probably talked to some knowledgeable basketball people about the plan.

Could imagine how aroused posters would get around here if they saw these highlights of Chaz before he got here?

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

And hair. Don’t forget the world class hair.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Dumb question. I thought JUCOs were for only freshman and sophomores. Doesn’t Chaz have 2 years in academically? Is he going there just to play basketball and take some classes to stay eligible rather than have them count and transfer credits towards a degree? Is it just a year to play and then transfer back to a 4 year school without losing a year of eligibility?

Welcome back.

 

[Brooky03]

Welcome back.

Thanks. Glad to be back

 

[RF2044]

I wonder why they wouldn't have sought to drop down a level. He could start / be a very good player at a smaller conference, or even Division 2. Wouldn't that make more sense than going JUCO hoping to garner more high major D1 interest?

 

[orangemass]

He’s going to light it up!!! I’m referring to the gonga of course

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[MSOrange]

Just as I suspected. He's playing JUCO to try to get the attention of Division 1 schools for his remaining 2 years of eligibility after this year.

 

[bigmike]

Classes are gonna be a breeze.

 

[cuseattle]

Chaz is 22 already. Hope he gets some kind of graduate degree by the end of all this.
