[Todd4State]

Yeah I expected those douchebags to do that but I don't think it's over on our end.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Shit, they got Sirmon, what the hell else do they want.

Wish there was some way we could make Petrino look bad by not allowing this. Not sure exactly how.

[smootness]

The hilarious thing about this one is that he originally followed Grantham to Louisville...without restriction.

So Louisville was glad to take him simply because Grantham was hired, but now doesn't want to let him follow Grantham to somewhere else.

I get why coaches do this, but this one is kind of funny.

[msstate7]

We've got to get Louisville on the schedule. We seem to building hate between the 2 schools without even playing

[Johnson85]

I'd guess they want to punish us for sticking them with Sirmon. I certainly would if I were them.

[HoopsDawg]

Schools should not be allowed to block transfers for graduates. Seems like an easy rule change for the NCAA. Also, Petrino is a piece of shit.

[Jack Lambert]

Petrino cheated on his wife. He's a shit bird.

[msstate7]

Schools should not be allowed to block transfers for graduates

I understand conference and on next year's schedule

[Big4Dawg]

"I really don't know what's his state of thinking or why he chose to put Mississippi State on there. It's something personal, but I have no idea why. It's really not fair."

Sounds like he wanted to come here.

[HoopsDawg]

I understand conference and on next year's schedule

I don't.

[msstate7]

I don't.

It would royally suck if bama or lsu started taking recruiting our 5th year seniors

[Ifyouonlyknew]

This is a long way from being over.

[msstate7]

This is a long way from being over.

Is shaq willing to fight it?

Watch an sec west team end up landing him

I wouldn't have said that if I thought he would just say screw it & head elsewhere.

Good deal.

We seem to be wearing on you here. You're getting as salty as the rest of us haha

We're going to need a new rival after Ole Miss gets the death penalty anyway might as well be Louisville.

Petrino is freeze without the religion schtick.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

LOL I figured I better adjust my attitude around here. For real if he wasn't planning on fighting it he wouldn't have made a comment about MSU specifically in public. He wanted it out there.

[Percho]

Appears to me we need to hire some Reb Shysters***

[starkvegasdawg]

Let me ask because I honestly don't know. Is it an NCAA rule you can't go to a school your former head coach says is off limits or just a condition of being releasd from your NOI? What would be funny as hell is if he wanted to come here and we get some school to agree to sign him for like a day and then grant him an unconditional release. I assume he could sit out a year and then go anywhere he wanted but I know he is looking to play immediately.

This is not a LOI situation, he's not a signee. He is just a transfer.

And there would be 0 incentive for another school to get involved in this, especially since some conferences (like the SEC) bar you from getting grad transfers if you have a certain amount that transfer in and don't graduate from grad school.

[Gutter Cobreh]

Making it public plus the history of being allowed to transfer with Grantham to Louisville in the first place makes a compelling argument. The key is keeping enough pressure up to make them change their mind.

Hope it works out for him. I agree transfer rules shouldn't apply to grad transfers. They've paid their dues and fulfilled their commitment by that point.

[HSVDawg]

Yeah I expected those douchebags to do that but I don't think it's over on our end.

How could it not be over? What avenue do we have if they are blocking the transfer? Its not like the NCAA is gonna tell them to unblock it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Pressure them publicly.

[confucius say]

Pressure them publicly.

That's what I'd do. I'd have the kid on finebaum by Monday, sec now Tuesday, sportscenter Wednesday, good morning America Thursday, and Oprah Friday.

I can see it now with Oprah..... YOU GET A CORNERBACK AND YOU GET A CORNERBACK, EVERYONE GETS A CORNERBACK!!!

[JDog13]

Petrino is freeze without the religion schtick.

Their schtick's have some similarities

[Bothrops]

Maybe they are already regretting their trading of Grantham for Peter South. Have you ever heard of anyone straight up trading a G37 for a Nissan Leaf? Not me.

[Boodawg]

Let's ask Dak if he's willing. That would help.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

Per Louisville sports radio host Howie Lindsey "Shaq Wiggins appealed to UofL about the transfer restriction to Mississippi State. Louisville will allow him to transfer to MSU if he'd like"

Louisville has removed Miss St from a restricted list of transfer schools for Shaq Wiggins after he appealed today

Yep

[BeardoMSU]

Yep

Good job, Dan**

[BeardoMSU]

Considering our depth at the position, I wonder if he'll redshirt

I'll bet we could work that deal with Freeze and the Bears. ***

Hypothetically ... would you still feel that way if Dak had wanted to transfer to another school his last year with us? He already had his degree.

[msstate7]

Yep

Now I know you've been around us too much... patting yourself on the back haha

Great call, IYOK

[GTHOM]

Wiggins appealed and LVille took us off the list. Pretty strong sign he's coming here IMO

[maroonmania]

Tend to agree, not sure why he would have gone to the trouble to appeal if he didn't want to come here.

[msstate7]

If we do indeed land shaq, gotta figure he and peters are the starters with dantzler and Cleveland battling for 3rd spot. We could be pretty dang solid at CB

[pdawg10msu]

Sorry if Germans. He appealed it and they accepted his appeal. I would say he is for sure coming here.

[RocketDawg]

Now I know you've been around us too much... patting yourself on the back haha

There's certainly plenty of that around here .... ;)

[RocketDawg]

It's in the last part of the "Apparently no Shaq" thread.

[pdawg10msu]

Well the thread title probably needs to be changed then.

[RocketDawg]

No doubt. It's not my thread though ... just passing along information.

Hypothetically, yes I would still feel the same way. They aren't property of the University. As I stated, once the commitment has been fufilled then they should be free to do as they wish without restrictions.

I'm not an expert on the details, this is simply my thought process. If they are rewarded with a "free" education, then once the education piece is fulfilled then so is their obligation to play for the school.

[msstate7]

When I posted the thread I included an espn article stating we were blocked. If the mods feel it needs to be changed, they can certainly change it. I don't see the big deal either way though

I don't either. That's why I started a new thread.

[GTHOM]

He will have a fight on his hands for PT with Dantzler. Hes already better than Cleveland

[preachermatt83]

Peice of trash Petrino gonna be ticked!!

[Reason2succeed]

But can he play on the OL?****

Seriously I will feel a lot better about our team if we get this guy. Corner was bad last year.

[MaroonFlounder]

You mean to tell me something finally worked out in our favor? Holy frozen Hell, batman!!

[msstate7]

Expect bama to offer tonight**

[HoopsDawg]

He's a starter at CB for us right?

[msstate7]

He's a starter at CB for us right?

Been with grantham for a few years... I can't see him not starting for us

[RocketDawg]

I don't either. That's why I started a new thread.

Nor do I. Your "Sorry if Germans" sorta indicated that you might want to know if it was covered elsewhere so I told you. I don't really care how many threads there are on the subject.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He's a starter at CB for us right?

I would be surprised if he's not.

[GTHOM]

He's a starter at CB for us right?

He's gonna have to earn it. Him, Peters, Dantzler are a solid trio at CB

[BeardoMSU]

I'm sure the Rev is gearing up for one of his all night phone marathons***
