Graduate Transfers and Burrows
- Thread starter Antwill
- Start date
Looks like he's behind their freshman for playing time. The rumor was that he wants to play and if he has to transfer to get to play that's what he'll do.
To piggyback on the thread, are we looking at any Ole Miss players? Have not heard anything about it. If we sign 4 or 5 Juco kids and grab a couple of grad/sanction transfers we could completely change the complexion of the team for 2018.
Here's an article about it. A lot will depend on where he is on their depth chart after the spring.

I believe Frost was teammates for a year with his brother Jamie for a year. His dad obviously played and coached here, and I believe also coached at Washington State when Bill Moos was Assistant AD there. So we have a lot of connections with the family.

Notable: Burrow was 6-of-6 passing for 62 yards, plus scored his first rushing touchdown, in the game against Nebraska last year ... Nebraska is the school for which his father, Jimmy, and two older brothers, Jamie and Dan, played football and lettered.

If he does want to transfer to play, that begs the question of how good of a fit we'd be. With POB, Gebbia, and potentially Martinez coming if we get him (I'm assuming Lee leaves), are we that much better of a guarantee of playing time? I'd love to get him, but if playing time is his criteria, I'm not sure we'd be THAT appealing compared to schools in a worse QB situation.
Reading the article he still wants too compete for the staring job at tOSU.. If he transfers after the spring he will behind the 8 ball so to speak with the ones that participated in our spring practices.
I think he'd be a much better fit for Frost's offense than Gebbia or POB. The issue would be that he wouldn't be here for Spring Practice to learn the offense. But I still think he'd have a better chance of starting here next fall than at Ohio State.
I'm not sure why some people, including OSU fans, think Haskins is a lock to be the guy over Burrow next season. They were neck and neck behind JT going into the season before Joe hurt his hand. Also, he runs the entire offense better than Haskins, IMO. Haskins may be a dynamic passer, but I don't believe his passing is head and shoulders above Joe's.
To be clear, I have NO idea what he's planning to do, but I just don't get the thought that he's not right there to be the starter next season.

Was wondering the same thing. Michigan tried to get Van Jefferson (wr) and Deontay Anderson (db) to transfer from Ole Miss but they aren’t going. They could make a quick impact here.
Anderson is friends with my middle child. I don’t think he has any interest in Nebraska.
Graduate transfers are free to go wherever they want, no realease required. Like when Kevin Williams went to Michigan State.
I have no idea if Meyer has any say in this or not if Burrow is a grad transfer. I'm wondering if the conference likes the idea of transfers within the conference. The B1G is like that.
I want what's best for Joe as he seems to be a great kid. However, I think he would have to decide that he just wants to be sure that he's gonna play and leave without a clear resolution at the position at OSU. If he stays, I doubt there will be a starter named until fall camp starts at the earliest. He and Haskins are both good and I think will be right there neck and neck until the end.
Good luck to him either way. I'm rooting for him. Nothing against Haskins, I just want to see the full offense run to its potential.

Harbaugh got Iowa’s QB as a grad transfer his first year at Michigan. MSU got a DT from us as a grad transfer last year.
You're right. scUM continues to not be able to develop its own QBs.

Sorry to be gone. I am on assignment for a job. I do overseas security details on occasion. It allows me to keep my security clearance active and get some decent pay. I am in town for a few days and thought I would check in.
I was actually just trying to reinforce the correct spelling of the QB's last name. But to your point: yes, not impressive based on the competition.

Trust Frost, he knows what he's doing.
