Clifton McDowell transfers.......again

[CajunVic]

Wonder if some of that Will Wade money is making it’s way to football at McNeese

What is Will Wade money?

[JamesTheJeweler]

It's legal, so.....doesn't matter.

right, but if im a program and want to build a "team" around a qb, im thinking this guy may not be the best leader.

now if he can go through a route tree or progression as quickly as he did all those commitments, maybe they are on to something.

[moorecajun]

Whoa. I had no idea about all that movement after this past season.

He needs to lay off the Exlax!

It'll be interesting to see how graduation rates are impacted by this era of NIL and the transfer portal.

Yep. The percentage of athletes being able to move on to the NFL, and especially move on and have a career longer that 2-3 seasons, is extremely low. I'm afraid way too many are going to end up with nothing academically to show for it, and their prospects for making a living to support themselves and a family afterwards will be greatly diminished.

Well at least now secspn hypes up the ufl even though they ignored the usfl

I watched him in the playoffs, and he had a pretty solid performance until the finals. That SDST defense is something nasty though.

especially if these guys become accustomed to a lifestyle they wont be able to support on normal wages for a 21-22 year old getting into the work force.

don't be a fool, that guy we may be talking about is not going to get a degree under any circumstances so whatever money he gets while an athlete places him ahead of the game

Strong a $$ offers?

He was ahead of his time since It's all legal now

Hearing the Will Wade audio, compared to reading a quote.

Does it make a difference to you?

Ahead of the game for someone who keeps transferring.

Ahead of the game compared to someone who actually gets a degree? Look at what Levi Lewis did with his opportunity.

Levi Lewis was always going to get a degree, that is why he did not participate in multiple transfers.

The players who take the course of MacDowell and keep transferring probably never had any intention on ever getting a degree.

So to say that is a bad tract because they won’t get a degree is a fools analysis.

Stay on course as diversions mean nothing.

Someone who knows more about this than I do can help me out here, but is this correct??

Just to recap:

2019: Louisiana
2020: Louisiana
2021: Kilgore College (JUCO)
2022: Central Arkansas
April 30, 2023: Commit to Southern
May 12, 2023: Decommit
May 15, 2023: Commit to Montana
Fall 2023: Lead Montana to national championship
January 2024: Transfer to Temple
March 2024: Enter transfer portal
April 2, 2024: Return to Montana?
April 11, 2024: Commit to Prairie View A&M?
April 13, 2024: Officially commit to McNeese State.
Six schools in six years with nine-ish commitments.

Good god, do we need to start diagnosing these athletes with ADHD? McDowell is officially the Josh Johnson of College Football, IYKYK.

Jokes aside, if you've reached this point where you've transferred like 7 times, you might as well give up on the NFL and try to use college for more than just athletics. I truly believe draft scouts will see his movement as a red flag not only for playing ability, but for attitude as well. If you aren't satisfied with being an FCS Championship runner-up, you need to work on your mindset. Just my thoughts.

So a guy spends 6 years in college with no intention on getting a degree, and he’s ahead of the game because he made some money doing so, regardless of how much? Flawless logic.

Fans can't control the logic of athletes.
