Class of 2018 OT Koda Martin (Texas A&M) Grad Transfer to SYRACUSE

Sounds like a great opportunity for the young man. If he hopes for a shot at the NFL, he can have tape playing against the best of both the SEC and the ACC.

 

[syrcuse]

Yes. She is a student at SU.

and the sister???? can we fix here up with Joe Girard III from Glens Falls??? or is she already a Jr or Sr. ???

I'd expect both parents to want Koda to make the best decision for him - not the parents. If he's happy where he's at, they'd probably want him to stay there.

Now... With a new head coach/staff..

 

[Chip]

This kid transfers here and I up the offer to 2 sets of flatware. Crystal.

 

[FasterCuse]

Seeing how his dad is also now an employee of SU, could Koda come to SU for free (PWO) and not take up a scholarship spot??? How great of a scenario that could be.

Now THAT'S thinking outside the box...

 

[Toga]

Wonder if he would compete for PT with Jake Pickard. Just saying.

Huh? This guy is a OT and Pickard is a DE.

 

[Cusester]

Both dating a coaches daughter?

Is it any different for a grad student versus an undergrad? I think some schools only give the free tuition if the kid is an undergrad.

It's a great thought but I believe NCAA rules state a coach/employee child still counts against the scholarship limit regardless of where his tuition money comes from

Well, Buddy Boeheim is going to walk on next year on the basketball team so that can't be true. Although the rule would make sense.

Maybe just a football thing?

Kid looks like Post Malone ate Karl Malone & I want him in Orange.

Gotta be a 5 year employee to get the tuition waiver, last I knew

It was 3 years 30 years ago. It may have jumped to 5 by now

And hasn't Adrian Autry's kid been a walk on the last couple years?

 

[orangemass]

Wishful thinking?

 

[JrodCuse]

Don't think he's graduated yet

 

[CuseLegacy]

Don't think he's graduated yet

And Grad Transfers usually wait until after they graduate to announce.

Gotta have the Grad part, before you can have the Transfer.

[orangencpolice]

Thank God. Being a father, I can't fathom having to go through a scary situation like that. I hope he has a full recovery.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Jack, why are you concluding that it's a "definite possibility"?

Because he likes using oxymoronic phrases?

 

[PhatOrange]

Good lord. Scary, glad to hear things are ok.
