Cord Sandberg, Come Home

[ArcherSPS]

Dude is really struggling in A for the Phillies (batting .234 in his career and struck out five times in one night last week), think it's time we get our boy back to campus.

He won't be able to beat out Thompson.

He won't be able to beat out Thompson.

Exactly...

 

[121Josey]

He won't be able to beat out Thompson.

But he's left-handed. He would be a seamless transition from Staley.** One more summer and a redshirt year, he'll be OUR Weinkbo.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

He'd be our starter this year most likely, as a redshirt junior, had he not made a Derunnya Decision. MSU luck.

 

[8dog]

He got 775k more than bear

 

[HD6]

And the Phillies will pay for his college should he ever decide to go. Not exactly a bad decision.

There is simply no way to have any idea whether he'd be 1st or 5th on the depth chart if he'd come to MSU. I'm happy with the QBs we do have on campus. If Sandberg does decide to quit baseball, he's got a lot of options. If he decides to come to MSU and play football, great. I'd be glad to have him. But if not, I'm OK with that too.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

How long do you think its been since he touched a football?

If he did come back to school, I'd think he would pursue a place that had a bigger need at QB. Are there any restrictions that limit him to State if he returns to school? Honest question, because I don't know. I just don't see a 24 year old come back to school to ride the pine for four years.

 

[patdog]

He can play football at any college he wants to, if that's what he decides to do.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

He's just a misdemeanor conviction and a Haiti trip away from an Ole Miss offer

 

[RocketDawg]

Not quite. He's not 30 years old yet. Seemed to me like Weinke was there about 10 years ....

I don't really think a player who has played at the professional level should be able to come back to college and play in any sport, not just the professional one.

 

[missouridawg]

He can play football at any college he wants to, if that's what he decides to do.

Assuming we release him from his LOI. If he chooses to come back, he is with us first.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I was going to say, he's a prime-time-candidate

for QB Transfer U.

I see some future helpin' on the horizon...

 

[patdog]

His LOI expired years ago. He can play anywhere he wants to.

 

[Palos verdes]

I bet he wouldn't beat out any of the current qb's, except maybe..maybe one.

 

[engie]

His LOI expired years ago. He can play anywhere he wants to.

Where are you getting this?

FAILURE TO ENROLL: If a prospective student-athlete fails to enroll at the signing institution, he orshe has not fulfilled the NLI agreement to attend the signing institution for one academic year. The NLIwould remain binding.

He's definitely struggling. .170 last month. If he doesn't improve, he'll have to repeat the level, always a bad sign but not a career killer by any means. If he can't earn a promotion by this time next year, then he's done. Not before.

Just to clarify

Here is the full NLI language -

[h=1]Letter becomes Null and Void[/h] This NLI shall be declared null and void if any of the following occur:
a. Admissions Requirement. This NLI shall be declared null and void if the institution named in this document notifies me in writing that I have been denied admission or, by the opening day of classes in fall 2016, has failed to provide me with written notice of admission, provided I have submitted a complete admission application. It is my obligation to provide, by request, my academic records and an application for admission to the signing institution. If I fail to submit the necessary academic credentials and/or application to determine an admission decision prior to September 1, the NLI office per its review with the institution will determine the status of the NLI.
If I am eligible for admission, but the institution named in this document defers my admission to a subsequent term, the NLI will be declared null and void; however, this NLI remains binding if I defer my admission.
b. Eligibility Requirements. This NLI shall be declared null and void if, by the opening day of classes in fall 2016, I have not met NCAA initial eligibility requirements; NCAA, conference or institution's requirements for athletics financial aid; or two-year college transfer requirements, provided I have submitted all necessary documents for eligibility determination.
(1) This NLI shall be rendered null and void if I become a nonqualifier per the NCAA Eligibility Center. This NLI remains valid if I am a partial qualifier per NCAA Division II rules unless I do not meet the institution's policies for receipt of athletics aid.
(2) It is my obligation to register with and provide information to the NCAA Eligibility Center. If I fail to submit the necessary documentation for an initial-eligibility decision and have not attended classes at the signing institution, the NLI office per its review with the institution will determine the status of the NLI.
(3) This NLI shall be rendered null and void if I am a midyear football two-year college transfer and I fail to graduate from two-year college at midyear, if required per NCAA, conference or institutional rules. The NLI remains binding for the following fall term if I graduated, was eligible for admission and financial aid and met the two-year college transfer requirements for competition for the winter or spring term, but chose to delay my admission.
c.One-Year Absence. This NLI shall be declared null and void if I have not attended any institution (two-year or four-year) for at least one academic year, provided my request for athletics financial aid for a subsequent fall term is denied by the signing institution.

Well, that's about as clear as mud. Looks like either he's either still bound to us under C unless we deny him a scholarship or the NLI board will determine the status under either A or B2. Seems pretty unfair to the player, but these rules aren't written with protecting the player in mind. Either way, I can't imagine us not releasing him if we wanted to go somewhere else, as long as it's not another SEC school.
