Another transfer, why did the Oregon St

Linebacker/leading tackler not want to
finish his senior season at OSU? I don't get it.
have not researched.

 

[msstate7]

Where's he going?

 

[121Josey]

Maybe he didn't like the new coach.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I'll give you one guess.

 

[57stratdawg]

Hint: they have a beautiful campus**

 

[msstate7]

I'll give you one guess.

Please let om get a bowl ban this coming year.

 

[coach66]

I'm sure he just woke up this morning and

Decided he needed to move south. I
thought there was a rule against recruiting
kids from other schools but I may be wrong.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Well he missed out on the late January and February recruiting money grab / drug binge / orgy. Maybe he likes "sloppy seconds"---he is a graduate transfer so he can starting playing for Ole Miss in about 5 minutes from now.

[msstate7]

Since when has om worried about rules? How many violations were listed on the NOA?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Variety

The Spice of Life.

Some Say.

 

[coach66]

Did he give a reason for transferring. I can't find

One if he did. Don't think he was in trouble.

Did he want to move to be closer to his
sick Samoan grandmother*

 

[natchezdawg]

Leading tackler from a 2-10 PAC-12 team?

color me unimpressed.

 

[ronpolk]

OM had a some salary cap left after missing on Simmons.

 

[RocketDawg]

It was probably OM's outstanding academics in grad school. Didn't you see the promo ad they ran during the game?

 

[coach66]

I asked a serious question and all I'm

Getting is smartass replies. Carry on.

 

[121Josey]

Maybe he woke up this morning, felt like he needed a change of scenery, and had Jeremiah Masoli on Line 1. Masoli pioneered the path from Oregon to Miss.

 

[tenureplan]

plenty of spice in Oxford...

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Ok this Rommel Mageo kid is #8. I got a photo from an OSU website that talked of the "family like brotherhood" of the Samoan players on their team.

Maybe he isn't happy around other Samoans---racist bow tie wearing Oxfartians are obviously much better.**

[121Josey]

Which question was serious? Or were you seriously looking to troll the night shift?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Ok, ok coach. Well RedCupRebellion claims that Mageo wants to play for a winner and OSU was 2-10 last year and not really a factor in the PAC 12.

[coach66]

So I guess it is legal to recruit good players off

bad teams because I ain't buying this was
all his idea.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I will be digging. My gut feeling is that there is some recruiting edge in this---like recruiting Denzel Nkemdiche just to get his more talented brother Robert Nkemdiche.

Mageo must have a more talented sibling, or talented close family member, or even a more talented player in his community or High School.

 

[FreeDawg]

The LB coach is Somaon. He almost pulled a Samoan LB from the West Coast but he flipped late during regular recruiting season. Add in that they are trying to get Genard Avery from Memphis it appears OM is shoring up LB via free agency.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Well Samoana High School (Hawaii) and Coach Cyrus Paopao don't have a lot of success on the gridiron. So my getting great players from his old High School theory doesn't seem to fit.

Rommel Mageo does have 5 siblings though. And Rommel played in some USA Football team vs. International Football team All Star game in High School (he played for the International team) so he is pretty good.

 

[kired]

Can't blame him. OR st was 2-10 last year with a first year head coach (in other words, not the guy who originally recruited him) and just lost their DC / LB coach since the end of the season. He's got the opportunity to play for a team in the SEC West that just won the sugar bowl.

It's probably one of those things where om can't recruit the player, but can probably recruit his parents and just have all the contact thru them.

 

[WrapItDog]

Masoli told him the Parks and Recreation graduate program was the ****

 

[KurtRambis4]

You've obviously

never been to Oxford. You should see all the women's magazines that talk about it. Just ask jughead.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

It's probably one of those things where om can't recruit the player, but can probably recruit his parents and just have all the contact thru them.

If a graduate transfer still needs to ask his mommy and daddy which school to go to I think he might have some maturity issues.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

If Daddy or Mommy are getting something from Ole Miss then the parents could still sway the kid. Like, just hypothetically speaking, you are in need of 2 good Defensive players who are talented & addicted to Spice---you might be able to reel them in if you can get their Dad a job as a Doctor at a University Hospital in Jackson...also hypothetically their last name is hard as 17 to spell.

[AFDawg]

The answer here is obvious. He got tired of playing for the Beavers, so he went to play for the Beaver.

 

[OleMissLogo]

Linebacker/leading tackler not want to
finish his senior season at OSU? I don't get it.
have not researched.

The opportunity to go from a 2-10 team to a 10-3 team doesn't come around very often. But ya know, night shift.

 

[Junction John]

So he's a sore-loser abandoning the commitment he made to his team? Got it.

You say the "opportunity" doesn't come around very often. I say it's more likely that there just aren't that many pussies in football who transfer away from their team just because they lose a few games. Sounds like a classy guy who should fit right in.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

If he can Photoshop himself into your 2015 team, then he will have gone from 2-10 to 10-3. Looking at the Ole Miss 2016 schedule I foresee 4 to 6 losses.

But ya know, Dawn Patrol Shift.

If the shoe was on the other foot and you just had one of your best defenders

Poached I would suspect there would be outrage. Interested in your perspective at that hypothetical.

 

[eyeofthesouth]

One if he did. Don't think he was in trouble.

I think you're thinking of Auburn...

 

[Arloguthrie]

You've obviously never been to Oxford. You should see all the women's magazines that talk about it. Just ask jughead.

Nah. Way I heard it, he's already played for a little bro state college and always dreamed of the opportunity to play for a Flagship University.

 

[ronpolk]

Nah. Way I heard it, he's already played for a little bro state college and always dreamed of the opportunity to play for a Flagship University.

Then why did he go to OM?

 

[Arloguthrie]

Poached I would suspect there would be outrage. Interested in your perspective at that hypothetical.

I wouldn’t like it, but that's life. We weren’t happy when Austin Golson transferred to Auburn, but it’s college football, not a Girl Scout potato sack race. I wouldn't want our coaches to refuse to accept a transfer at a position of need out of empathy for another program, personally.

 

[coach66]

Honest answer acknowledged, I will give Freeze credit for pushing the envelop he

Is definitely not a "Settler".

 

[JungRebel]

Didn't you get a grad transfer LB from Clemson a few years back? I don't remember it being so enigmatic then. Russell Wilson did this too.
