Saw this in the newswire out of Oregon, redshirt freshman wide receiver Tacoi Sumler, a former 4-star prospect out of Miami, will transfer and wants to be closer to home. With Miami still possibly facing sanctions, UCF being hit, wonder if USF could be an option. We did offer him back in 2010, he is 5-8, so small receiver, but ideal slot guy. Probably 0 interest for Bulls, but wanted to throw his name out there and see what people found out and thought.

I remember him. We have scholarships available. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Oregon WR Tacoi Sumler to transfer

By Craig Morgan | CBSSports.com

August 8, 2012 6:29 pm ET

The University of Oregon announced Wednesday that redshirt freshman receiver Tacoi Sumler will transfer.

From the press release:

University of Oregon wide receiver Tacoi Sumler has informed Chip Kelly of his intentions to transfer from the program according to the Ducks' fourth-year head coach.

The Miami, Fla., redshirt freshman was one of three scholarship wide receivers brought into the program in 2011, with all three players redshirting last season to preserve their four years of eligibility.

The 5-9, 177-pound high school All-American caught three passes for 15 yards in the Ducks' April Spring Game after enjoying his best prep season as a junior, catching 54 passes for 994 yards and 17 touchdowns for Christopher Columbus High School.

That's my thought, we have the scholarship room. Not real sure how hard he even looked at USF in 2010 and pure speculation on my part with him wanting to be closer to home, but stranger things have happened and his is a very fast and electric receiver that could be a great weapon, but who knows where he lands.

Well, as you say, we offered him in 2010, so we must have liked him.

Exactly, he is small at 5-9, but with guys like Hopkins, Lamar, etc. he would be a good fit and in a spread system like we run, could be fun. Not sure what other programs "close to home" would do. Miami, FAU, FIU could take a run at him, not sure of scholarship situations at FSU or UF for him either.

He could run track at USF, if he still wants to do that.

I doubt he was having academic problems at Oregon.

Sumler also runs track (10.49 100m) and says he may compete in both sports in college.

Sumler plans to major in business management and reports a 3.4 core GPA. He scored a 1650 three-part SAT and 1150 two-part SAT.

So he has the smarts, track speed, ideal for USF track team and could transition well for academic reasons as well. Could be a name to watch.

He will need to decide soon, if he expects to enroll for the fall semester. He might even be eligible for a hardship waiver.

Very true, not sure if he can get a hardship, not real sure on the reason why he is looking to get out of Oregon. From what I can see, he is buried on the depth chart and moving that far away, he just probably wants to be closer to home, not sure how easy a hardship waiver would be and honestly, him sitting out a year with our loaded depth chart wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

I only mentioned the possibility of a hardship waiver based on his profile picture on facebook.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
