Transfers happen for good and bad reasons. Good reasons include: homesick, ill family member (not that someone being ill is good, but the desire for a kid to be closer to home with a family member who is ill is noble), 5th year after graduating allowed to transfer without sitting out. Bad transfer reasons include: arrest, discipline, couldn't get along with the coach, unreasonable expectations of playing time. We have taken kids who fall into both categories. Kids from the first category often work out: Kevin Guidry, Mistral Raymond (and Grant Gregory transferring to Kansas State is a great example too). Kids from the second category almost never work out (across all sports, not just football). Not judging either of these kids, Just an observation that seems so simple, but doesn't always resonate with coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one either tOSU but more likely BC,the other Louisville with Strong. USF had a chance and may still do with the 2 WVU transfers Ivan McCartney (probably Miami or FIU most likely) and Traves Copeland (FIU and USF- well prior to CWT coming, a slot WR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
