[PAcuse]

He visited Rutgers last week

ETA: Rovals now reporting he's deciding between RU and Oklahoma State on Monday. RU is recruiting him as a FB

That Rutgers offense is so bad. Go ANYWHERE else, kid.

 

[Trueblue25]

A full back?

This thread makes me very, very upset.

 

[SUforme]

Good lord if these are his options then he should think about staying just IMO...

[721Comstock]

Ugh. Guess he REALLY just wanted to near home, above all else.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

If he wanted to be close to home, Miami really didn't give him any other options.

 

[rackman18]

If we win only win one game this year ( I know we will win more) God let us beat Miami and beat them BIG.

 

[javadoc]

Pretty small stones for such a reputedly powerful program. They deserve to be trolled mercilessly.

[PhatOrange]

poor kid. I feel bad for him that he couldn't go where he wanted and now he's going to get murdered.

 

[Trueblue25]

Very nice of Miami to not only make sure they throw away his athletic career but also send him to an academically inferior school as well.

Best of luck to that kid.

Good luck to Gus. Too bad he couldn't go where he wanted. Hope he already has a degree from Miami.

Unfortunately it isn't only Miami that does this. I would like to see the P5 rid schools the ability to limit the choice of grad transfers.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

That's one of the caveats of the grad transfer. You have to have finished your bachelor's degree at your first institution before you can move on.

ACC Politics at its worst...that's all I'm going to say on this matter...

The @Miami crossover timing couldn't work out worse.

It's on a year where we already go to FSU. (And oh by the way to LSU).

And now it's on a year when a senior RB could help us, but can't, because we play the team he's leaving.

1000% of suck.

And Miami is a lot better now than they have been for years...

 

[Cusefan69]

While very disappointed in the outcome for Cuse, very happy he will be close to his home to be a "dad" for his little one if I understand his situation correctly...His proximity to his new school will likely be better for him from that standpoint. Good luck Gus...

 

[UnknownOrange]

Okay real question here: If there was no transfer ban, does Gus 100% come here?

I feel like everyone is upset at something that might not have happened anyway

 

[Finwad32]

You can't lose what you never had... I'm not going to cry over spilt milk that was never poured.

I feel like the majority of people are upset over a "what if"... Not a what if he comes here, I think that was a certainty, but a what if he was good here... We'll never know how he'd translate.

Sure, it would've been nice to have a proven commodity for a year... But, you wanna know what? Give me a young guy who can come in and develop and give us 4-5 good years. Depth is bad right now, we'll add somebody or move someone probably.

I think the only thing that really disappoints me is that Gus is not going to have as good of an opportunity playing there under Ash... I'd like to see him succeed and do well, I think he has a much higher probability of doing that elsewhere.

Without checking, I'm guessing that's how Rutgers fans are framing it. I mean . . . you know . . . Rutgers . . . . .

yep, we wanted him, he wanted us. Miami (apparently the AD Blake James, not Richt), screwed us over. It's cool for coaches and ADs to go wherever the hell they please, even rival schools that you are playing the next year, but noooo, not a kid who gave Miami 4 years, is graduating and wanted to play for Dino Babers, instate, since he has a baby now. Rutgers is closer to home so that's great for him, but he wanted SU. I swear, I hope we beat Miami badly, and then we can flip James off. Kinda like in 2011 when ahole Oliver Luck bashed our football program after we announced we were leaving the Big East, then we went out and destroyed them.

 

[djorange1989]

He wanted to be at SU, Miami blocked him. so he picked RU. Miami sucks.

 

[UnknownOrange]

Yeah I just wanted sure because obviously I wanted him in orange but if there's a transfer RB that comes here and out performs whatever Gus does at RU then no one is going to be upset at that (just how the 'adults' handled the process)
