Oh yeah, well, I mean, if you want to go by that rule. Then I guess so.tdub wrote:Not if he only had one year of eligibility left. If he has only one year, then he must be a graduate student.

Didn't we have a safety from UAB last year . . . Carter that dropped down for just his senior year . . .CelticCat wrote:That changed in like 2007 or so? I think Jefferson was right around the last time you could drop down with only a year left.

Yes that was a special circumstance because UAB nixed their football program.BigBruceBaker wrote:Given special permit because UAB shut down the program?Bozcat003 wrote:Didn't we have a safety from UAB last year . . .

Well don't put a question mark after it and I won't assume you are uncertain.BigBruceBaker wrote:I just said that [emoji6]CelticCat wrote:Yes that was a special circumstance because UAB nixed their football program.BigBruceBaker wrote:Given special permit because UAB shut down the program?Bozcat003 wrote:Didn't we have a safety from UAB last year . . .

Do we have enough Schollys available to just sign all 5 of them?.........VimSince03 wrote:https://twitter.com/JuCoFootballACE/status/717875827560620036 Offered another JUCO DT. Brandon Hayashi is another big dude and is very good at the point of attack (based on his film). http://www.hudl.com/athlete/429916/brandon-hayashi
If I was a betting man, I bet a few of these late offers come up for the final spring game for visits. Here is a list of other JUCO DT's that our coaches are following on twitter that are unsigned:
Bentley Easley - 6'3", 315 lbs.
Fou Polataivao - 6'1", 305 lbs.
Robert Coleman - 6'2", 305 lbs. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2480524/robert-coleman
Sione Taufahema (MSU offered on 3/29) - 6'2", 320 lbs.
Joe Achour - 6'3", 290 lbs.
Sooooooooooo, that begs the question........why wasn't he signed by someone on signing day? Just the "Viking Fan" in be being a skeptic.......
Full scholarship?? Saw he had offers from Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville.
Some recruits take their time. Wait for a better offer. Look at Bozeman's own Payton O'Reilly this year. He still hasn't confirmed where he is going to school, even though it looks like Miami of Ohio at the moment. Regardless, instead of worrying about the why my fellow Viking fan, watch his highlight tape. The only thing maybe holding this kid back was his height. Other than that, it looks like we have a very good high school linebacker committed to our program. His footwork and instincts are outstanding and he is always around the ball. It also helps that Austin looks like a stereotypical middle linebacker. I want him on my side in a fight!vike_king wrote:Sooooooooooo, that begs the question........why wasn't he signed by someone on signing day? Just the "Viking Fan" in be being a skeptic.......
Plus the high school he went to is one of the best in the country . . . he will come to MSU fundamentally sound and well coached.VimSince03 wrote:Some recruits take their time.
