Football Transfer

[Jeaux]

Never mind, I just read on the Bears board he wasn't leaving although a lot of people in Chi-town want to run him out.

I think Tig is playing Safety I will ask my cousin as soon as practice is over

Good. I think we have bigger needs at S, than we do at RB.

I know a name that has been thrown around that is a big time signee for an SEC school that I believe is a done deal for the Cajuns but I am not sure if we can put it out there. So until I get confirmation that we can, my lips are sealed. Since his is already out there, with the addition of Barksdale and this guy, our DB should be pretty strong.

I know there will be some more transfers & prospects looking to go else where with the coaching changes

Can someone tell me who tig barksdale is? What school is he coming from?

4 star recruit from South Panola, transferred from Ole Miss to Jacksonville State. I think that's him, no idea what his eligibility is...

[Gumbeaux]

So reports are that June Jones was nixed for the ASU job. The boosters didn't buy what he was selling, apparently.

Does that mean that the SMU transfer is a no-go?

Tig was a super, super talent coming out of high school. He signed with Ole Miss, but had numerous problems. Nutt ended up getting him placed at Jax State. He got in some more trouble there. Hud and the staff were very aware of his problems, and if they took a flyer on him they must feel good about helping him. He needs supervision and needs to stay away from influences in Batesville, but he can be a big time player if he stays straight.

For his sake, even more than ours, I hope it works out.

Will he be eligible in 2012 or will he have to sit out a year?

[RagnCajunRebel]

He can play right away, as he is coming from a D-II (or whatever it's called now) school, at least I think. He would have 1 to play 1 I think, too.

You cannot move from DII to DI and play right away, only from JuCo can you transfer up and play right away.

He is not moving from DII to DI, he is moving from formally D-1AA to D-1A, more acuratly from FCS to FBS, but you point still holds true, you are not allowed to move up w/o sitting out a year, you can move down from FBS to FCS without doing so.
