ORUJason Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 How can a coach block a player from going to another D1 school? The player would simply have to sit out a year at the D1 school he transfers to, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have no problem if he blocked schools in the region. You can't let a player essentially start much of the year and then parlay those minutes to benefit a direct competitor. After a year of JuCo he can go anywhere he wants......TU included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sorry, not buying it - can't recall Scott Sutton "blocking" a player from transferring anywhere before, much less everywhere. Not even sure how that could be done. I wonder if "OKSPORTSFAN04" is confused about the new "run-off rule", where a player can be granted a release by his previous school to play immediately after transferring, IF that player does not figure into his previous school's plans for the future. Darian Harris is a great example of that loophole: Creighton recruited over him, gave him a release, and he was eligible to play immediately at ORU. Obviously that's not the case with Daquan; he would have likely started for Scott Sutton this year, so ORU is not going to grant him a release to play right away for someone else. He should have to sit out a year at his new school, just like any other transfer who was not "run off". This smacks of a first-time poster with an agenda just trying to do some damage control re: why DJ couldn't go D-1. I'm still wondering if was an academic issue - ORU undergrad credits have never been easy to transfer to other schools, even with passing grades.

theeagleman5 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah....excellent point....that Holy Spirit in the Now course and 20th Century Evangelism class never transfers well to other institutions of higher learning...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The new run-off rule that OT mentioned sounds like a good rule for a fairly common occurrence and the results of that rule benefit both the student and the institution. I suspect Daquan may have had to go juco because something he thought was going to work out didn't. Just a guess on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKSPORTSFAN04 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah he had to sit out a year because of the transfer, or either go JUCO or D-2... and as far as 1st time poster, yes i am. just speaking with some people close to the situation... either way, it seems like a good mutual move. Jeffries was more of wing than a post... ORU should still be strong though with Martin and White eating up those minutes next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORU should still be strong though with Martin and White eating up those minutes next year Wondering if you are close to the situation, and can explain why he was not willing to sit out one year at a D-1 school, then have three years of eligibility left after that? Or, if that was not an option because he could not qualify (academically or otherwise) to enroll at another D-1 school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it appeared they had given up on him by Christmas break last year - might be an all-time record for juco transfers losing favor.

WingMaaaan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Vance wasn't very good. You have to wonder if the coaches are desperate or just see themselves as miracle workers with some of these kids. The reality is probably somewhere in the middle. It doesn't seem like we're going to see a Marcus Lewis, Kevin Ford or Shawn Glover transfer walking through the doors anytime soon.

I'm not so sure about that - the kid who could never get eligible with Weber State is a physical specimen and could become a player. You just never know about these low-profile transfers: for every Tre Vance or Reggie Guyton, there's a Michael Craion or an Adam Liberty. Just gotta wait and see... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oruvoice Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I just don't get it. Why go to TU? Does he think he'll get more playing time there? Good luck, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
