What a way to let your ego blow a career.
Sorry to hear he had a sick family member that affected his attention to his game. However, I suspect if that were the case something could have been worked out.
Never heard of any overlooked and underrated running backs ever making it work at SDSU...he is screwed
Free school versus paying own way. Living in San Diego versus Lincoln Nebraska.....I'm ready for a change. Think I'm going someplace dry and warm.
Wow...
I figured some desperate Power 5 school would toss a scholly at him just as a shot in the dark. Wonder if it was concerns about personality or was he really seen as underperforming that much this year? I'm guessing the first, but really haven't followed this whole ordeal enough to know.

San Diego might be the best city in the USA
San Diego is the last major city in California that doesn't feces and disease all over the streets.
Pure conjecture on my part.

Classic situation of thinking you are bigger and better than what you really are. Instead of working hard and getting better he thought he could go somewhere else and get what he wanted. I wish him the best, but these are the exact type of players that we don't not need or want on this team. Nothing is given here.
I feel like we just to this conclusion but shouldn't.
What % of college kids transfer? I would guess a high %. I think people transfer, most of the time, because they just don't like where they are at. There is nothing wrong with that.
I definitely get what you’re saying but you are wrong on the higher percentage being kids transferring. Most kids stay at said school they start of with. It’s actually the lower percentage of kids transfer. Definitely not a big deal and it wasn’t your main point anyways. Just saying is all....
I checked and no clue how accurate this is but it says 37%

I think that seems super high, when I said a high % I was thinking like 15%.
Well, if you use the qualifier "most" then you are saying 51%. So, in that case, you would be correct. But the reality is a high number of students transfer and the link below, by Higher Ed, using 2011 stats, indicates a significant number transfer from a four year institution to a two year. That's not counting four year transfers.

I get what you guys mean now. Its not that the higher overall number are transferres, you’re saying it’s a pretty high overall number of kids that transfer is all. Ok, I’m on the same page now.

You are probably safer not being on our page! ha
Yeah, if you like bugs, gators, snakes, humid weather and worst of all East Coast time zone. No thanks. I'll stick to the West.
West Coast is weak sauce. Never ever would want to live there. Maybe San Diego, but that's about it. Definitely not WA or OR.
Well I've been in Carolina, but I bet you have never been in Eastern Washington. Yea skiing 12 miles from the house, the Columbia River going through town, whitewater Wenatchee River dumping into the Columbia, beautiful 50 mile long Lake Chelan (The city of Chelan is Nets Joe Harris's hometown), upland bird hunting as soon as you get out of town, 300 days of sunshine, hot summers with 15-20% humidity, all the fresh fruit and vegetables that you could possibly eat, thousands of acres of grapes with more wineries than you can count and great beer from the largest hop growing region in the US. Yea, It's awful!
I've been all over the Northwest. I don't care for the cold. I much prefer the Southeast, especially the coastal areas. Nice beaches with warm water are tough to beat.
Most of the time they don't like where they are at because they aren't getting what they want (more playing time/ starting) Is it always that way? Of course not, but it no doubt has become an epidemic in college sports. When interviewed at the time he said he didn't feel he was being utilized to his fullest potential. Now he is say his grandma was/ is sick and he wanted to be closer to her. Who know what the real reason was.
Great small city to visit as long as not in the hot, humid Summer. Actually I would much rather spend time in Charleston than San Diego. San Diego downtown is sketchy. Downtown Charleston is a history book.
To each their own. Hopefully Greg Bell is happy with his decision. From the outside looking in, he really missed out on an opportunity!
Ozigbo spent 4 years in the program, stuck around through coaching changes, was never handed anything, and is clearly an NFL caliber RB. Bell felt so strongly that he deserved to start over Ozigbo that he quit mid-season, gave up a full ride scholarship, and landed at a second tier football program!
WTH!!!

Southeastern guy myself here in SC. Much perfer Charleston myself. To each his own though. Its all a matter of preference.
