The new transfer players to know on Ohio State’s 2020 schedule… and there are a number of them.



The biggest name is probably this guy; however, if he was all that good (and he thought he could be staring at Alabama this season), he'd probably still be at Alabama...

MARYLAND QB TAULIA TAGOVAILOA
9491544.jpg


Previous school: Alabama

Class: Sophomore

Size: 5-foot-11, 208 pounds

Previous stats: Taulia Tagovailoa, a former four-star prospect, had a slow start to his freshman season at Alabama, but that largely had to do with his older brother, Tua, having the starting quarterback job. Tagovailoa played in five games, completing 9-of-12 passes for 100 yards and one touchdown.

Potential impact: With a number of players opting out of the 2020 season at Maryland due to COVID-19 concerns, including quarterback Josh Jackson, Tagovailoa's immediate eligibility from the NCAA was a big win. He will now compete with redshirt freshman Lance LeGendre, but seems the more likely of the two to win the job.

I had no idea there were this many transfers just into the 8 teams we play.

This has biased the game once more in favor of the big dogs.

The CFB game always benefits the big dogs! There will never be parity in CFB when kids can choose where they can go and bigger schools are in an arms race for facilities.

True that.

But in the past when a kid exploded in the MAC he was stuck in the MAC.

Now the MAC is just a farm system.

Good for the kids, but along with NIL the big dogs are pretty much locked in.

Except - for some strange reason - Michigan.

Yeah, and to add to that top heavy system the players on the powers who don't see PT after a few years just go to another power(i.e. Fields and Sermon to OSU, JT Daniels and Newman ending up at UGA, Shorter to UF, etc)

Kansas State WR Joshua Youngblood to transfer portal

Kansas State wide receiver Joshua Youngblood, an All-America kick returner in 2019, has entered the NCAA's transfer portal.

Youngblood had three kick return touchdowns as a freshman, earning him Big 12 special-teams player of the year honors. He became the first true freshman to earn one of the conference's top individual honors and the first Kansas State true freshman to earn first- or second-team All-America honors since Tyler Lockett in 2011.

Youngblood averaged 35.9 yards per runback, which would have led the FBS if he had enough returns to qualify. He started three games and recorded nine catches for 73 yards.

Although Youngblood was pegged to be a bigger part of Kansas State's passing attack this season, he didn't record a catch and appeared in only two of the team's first four games. Youngblood has three kick returns for 54 yards and no touchdowns.

NCAA tables one-time transfer proposal to early next year

Rightly so, the NCAA as castigated and publicly pilloried for some of its decisions. This time, though, they got it right. For now.

Many, us included, criticized the NCAA back in April when its Board of Directors and its Presidential Forum recommended to the Division I Council that the proposal on a one-time transfer waiver is “not appropriate at this time.” Wednesday, the Council did the expected and tabled the proposal until January of next year.

From the NCAA’s release:

The resolution was recommended by the Transfer Waiver Working Group, which earlier this year had proposed a change to waiver guidelines that would have accomplished the same goal but through the waiver process instead of through a legislative change. Last month, the Division I Board of Directors indicated it preferred a legislative change and lifted the moratorium it had placed on transfer eligibility proposals last fall.

“The transfer environment has long been an issue of much discussion in Division I. The Division I Council is committed to a uniform and equitable approach to transfer rules that considers student-athlete well- being and the opportunities available after transfer,” said Council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Pennsylvania. “We will not simply change the rule, but we will consider a comprehensive package designed to address the multiple complexities involved.”

The Council committed to work with conferences, schools, the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Division I Committee on Academics and other committees to form a permanent legislative solution

Currently, Division I rules permit student-athletes in all sports except baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football and men’s ice hockey to immediately compete after a first transfer. Reliance on the waiver process for student-athletes in those five sports has put enormous strain on a historically collaborative process built to handle extenuating circumstances.

The resolution called the waiver process “an unsustainable method to achieve lasting stability, consistency and transparency within the transfer environment” and declared it was “never designed to accommodate sustained requests for relief from a rule without actually changing the rule.

The comprehensive package will address issues that impact transfer, including academic requirements, roster management considerations, transfer notification dates, accountability measures for schools that accept transfer students, and additional education on the transfer rules and process. The Committee on Academics will provide its guidance to any academic aspects of the package.

Given the uncertainty the coronavirus pandemic has caused across all sports, pushing this legislation back a few months is a very prudent move. Instantly granting thousands of football players — not to mention basketball players as well — a one-time free transfer pass at this time, while athletic departments are already stretched attempting to safely get their student-athletes back on the field, would’ve done exponentially more harm than good.

It’s expected that the legislation will be adopted at the NCAA convention in January, and will go into effect for the 2021-22 academic year.

Maybe it will pass for the 2021-2022 season, but this is the NCAA we are talking about; so who knows?

SKULL SESSION: FIVE-STAR QUARTERBACK QUINN EWERS TRENDS TOWARDS OHIO STATE, NEW TRANSFER RULES ARE COMING, AND THE BUCKEYES' FOOD BUDGET IS INSANE

TRANSFER FLEXIBILITY COMING.
It looks like the days of those absurd eligibility waiver denials could be at an end as the NCAA looks more and more likely to add some transfer flexibility to all sports.

The Division I Board of Directors strongly supports legislation that would allow all Division I student-athletes the opportunity to transfer and compete immediately, regardless of the sport they play. The board met virtually Wednesday.

“It’s time to provide uniform transfer flexibility to Division I student-athletes,” said board chair Denise Trauth, president at Texas State. “The board members agree that the Working Group on Transfers created a sensible proposal that provides all student-athletes, no matter what sport they play, the opportunity for academic and athletic pursuits at the school that is the best fit.”

I'm all in on a one-time transfer. There's absolutely no innocent reason why it should be allowed in all non-revenue sports but not the ones that make money for schools. It's long past time for that to be changed.

And selfishly, it would absolutely work in Ohio State's favor, especially in terms of recruiting. If a player can simply transfer out and play immediately anywhere in the country, there's no reason not to give Ohio State a try first. Worst case scenario you spend a few years developing in an elite program before becoming a coveted recruit once again. Best case scenario, you win the job.

FYI, FWIW. To no fault of his own, Kevin Warren's son and his status with the Mississippi State football team became a weird focal point in the drama surrounding the Big Ten's decision to cancel the football season.

Well, y'all aren't going to have to worry about him playing for the Bulldogs anymore, pandemic or no.



I'm now imagining talking to my January self and trying to succinctly explain the series of events that led to me blogging about a walk-on receiver at Mississippi State entering the transfer portal.

2020 has been the wildest ride I ever rode. And I say that as someone who wrote the words "Wildman T Ball Lifter, Red, Size XL" in a Skull Session just over two years ago.

Virginia Tech QB Hendon Hooker enters transfer portal

Virginia Tech quarterback Hendon Hooker announced Thursday that he will enter the transfer portal.

"Upon December graduation, I have decided to enter the transfer portal," Hooker tweeted. "This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Being a Hokie has been an unforgettable experience. To all of my brother, I love you all like my blood. Captain Hook signing out."....:argh:

Hooker started six games this season and played in eight, throwing for 1,339 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions and rushing for 620 yards and nine touchdowns. He dealt with an undisclosed medical issue during fall practice that led him to miss the first two games of the season.
