There must be 50 ways to leave Miami.

It's all your fault...

 

[OrangeMojo]

I honestly can't imagine a single reason one would consider transferring to play offense for rutgers right now - you'd have to seriously just love having your head kicked in with absolutely no reward ever.

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Get on the bus Gus.

If he comes here, everyone would then need to get on the Gus Bus.

Would Miami block it? Can you block grad transfer in conference?

You think Miami is going to eat a scholie for a fifth year depth guy so he can't go to Syracuse?

Graduate Exception
The graduate exception is a version of the one-time transfer exception. It is for student-athletes who cannot use the normal one-time transfer exception because they play one of the sports that are not permitted to use the exception.

• The student-athlete must have graduated with at least a bachelor’s degree;
• The student-athlete meets the other requirements of the one-time transfer exception;
• The student-athlete must have at least one season of competition left; and
• The student-athlete’s previous school did not renew his or her athletic scholarship or offer an athletic scholarship for the following academic year.

The requirement that the scholarship be cancelled or not renewed is generally not an issue. The scholarship does not need to be cancelled before the transfer or be the reason for the transfer. Because the one-time transfer exception requires you to get a release, what will happen with your scholarship is generally just an administrative detail.

I can't either. I have to think that if he wants to play his last year close to home, and we want him here, he'll be here.

One service rated Edwards the #1 FB out of HS. At 230# we have nothing like him on our roster. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery like ET did.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Would it cost us any commits who were told they will play right away?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Lots of things went on in Gus' life before he committed to Miami. Maybe he is just ready to come home.

Rutgers is way closer to home for him

Yeah, but it's Rutgers, so we've got that going for us...which is nice.

With all of the rumors regarding position changes and qualification issues, there may not be enough clarity in the situation to worry about it.

Make this happen yesterday.

The answer is easy if he takes it logically. We'd like to help him in his struggle to be free...

Doctor Bombay, may I offer my condolences on your passing earlier this week. May you rest in peace.

Sad!

 

[CuseLegacy]

Sad!

Hard to believe he was only 89. He will be missed on here.

Much obliged, my good man.
But understand that not everything is as it appears.
Just one good whiff of my rare, ancient Himalayan carnivorous eucalyptus potion, and I will be as good as new!! Tally ho!

Mark Richt on potential transfers: "We're not going to beg anybody to stay at The U. It's too great of a place."

 

[CuseLegacy]

"Edwards, a redshirt junior who missed all of last season with a Lisfranc fracture that required five screws and a metal plate be surgically inserted into his left foot, got his most carries of the season in last week’s victory at Virginia: 11 for 68 yards, a 6.2-yard-per-carry average."

Edwards said he has no intention of transferring, given his light workload until now.

“I’ve been here since my freshman year,’’ he said. “This is home. All my brothers are here. A new coaching staff, but at the same time they’re family now, so I wouldn’t want to turn my back on them no matter what.”

This is from a November article

That makes it official. He is leaving.

Yearby is declaring for the draft which makes Gus the #2 RB unless Homer passes him this Spring. He says he is staying in Miami.

 

[PhatOrange]

he can certainly see how spring goes and how the DC shakes out and then transfer.
