Class of 2019 QB Garrett Shrader (NC) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/19/20)

[Chip]

Grizzly Adams will bring us back to glory!

 

[GreekFreak]

I don’t care if he looks like a ZZ Top member if can win games. He has some skills that we can use. I think he will make some plays that will make you jump out of your seat and others that will leave you scratching your head.

And those steely gun metal blue eyes are simply dreamy...sorry Charley Loeb, you're yesterday's news.

The thing about Shrader that I keep coming back to is his HS rankings. If we'd landed that kid out of HS, there wouldn't be a second thought about him starting.

Also factor in that he performed as a true frosh against elite defenses like Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, etc. and I think we can extrapolate that he's got the chops to play P5.

Now, we have an incumbent in place who also came in with accolades [Elite 11], but who has struggled on the field. DeVito is going to have his work cut out for him to hang onto the job. Glad Shrader's in for spring ball -- that will help accelerate his developmental curve in our system.

May the best player win the PT. Don't care which one of them it is. But we need to have a winning season and get back to a bowl THIS YEAR. Which to me means that DeVito -- even if he wins the starting role -- will be on a much shorter leash if he doesn't move the sticks and put points on the board. Dino can't afford another 4 - 5 win season.

We’re not even sure Shrader is eligible this season are we? Doesn’t he have to be granted a waiver?

Yes.

 

[SUbear]

Yes.

I can not say I am keeping up with all the transfer rule changes, but I thought he would be eligible due to covid to make a one time transfer without a waiver.

That's not official.

DI Council adopts new transfer legislation

The Division I Council launched a discussion of a return to some recruiting activities, and the group intends to vote on a return to recruiting during its April meeting. Division I has been in a recruiting dead period since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Council members...

The Council affirmed its preference to vote as soon as April on a legislative proposal that would provide student-athletes the opportunity to compete immediately after transfer, no matter what sport they play.

We should know soon.

I think those Sorority Members might think differently

Someone needs to shoot a legal arrow across their bow before they decide.

 

[AngryOtto]

I would figure shrader already filed his appeal and has lawyers working on it in case immediate eligibility does not happen.

Just read on ESPN that one time transfer without sitting a year was approved by NCAA today. So GS is officially in play for the upcoming season. The QB room officially is more competitive today and thats a good thing for the team.

Reports: Transfers won't have to sit out season

The NCAA Division I Council voted Wednesday to change the long-standing rule that forces transfer athletes in football and basketball to sit out a season at their new school, a report said.

It appears it is finally going to happen...

 

[SUFan44]

Yes, it is official. Shrader is eligible. And will be the starting QB for SU sooner than later.

Just to put some interpretive perspective on those numbers:

• 57% completion rate
• 13.1 yards per completion
• 6.33 yards per carry

...as a true frosh.

...in the SEC.

Yeah, but he was moved to WR so those numbers don't count.

I am not a fan of this rule at all. It's going to lead to a lot of impulsive decisions by 18-20 year olds, and the ruining of recruiting classes that coaching staffs work year-round to put together. The attrition and turnover is going to be horrifying. Not a fan at all.

However, I am happy that this means Garrett can play this year.

If a regular student can transfer colleges why can't a student-athlete? If a coach can leave a team and immediately go coach somewhere else why can't a student-athlete? All these rules exist to protect the institutions, not the players.
