    Transfers

    From a Delaware paper...

    http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080817/SPORTS07/808170372


    Northern Iowa, which Delaware beat in the I-AA playoffs last season, has 24 transfers.
    ---------------------------------------------

    Actually, UNI has 23. Northern University is a HS.
    And...Grant Lilly, Daren Hudak, and JP Helgens don't even have numbers given to them. Plus, Daren and JP went to Kirkwood and Hawkeye CC's...they don't even have football teams.

    I think junior college transfers occur fairly often (3-4 or so per year, with 1-2 being sophomore eligible). I don't think UNI has gone after FBS transfers as hefty as they did 4-5 years ago.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    i think this speaks highly of the depth of talent in the midwest and the national scouting ability of our staff

      Re: Transfers

      I did a quick compilation of numbers when I saw that article discussed on AGS. I might as well copy my findings here too.
      Of the 102 players currently listed on the website roster for UNI:

      * 6 players have previously been enrolled in schools with FBS teams (3 from Iowa State, 1 from Baylor, 1 from Notre Dame, 1 from Minnesota)
      * 1 player was at a D2 school (Augustana-SD)
      * 20 players have been enrolled at a CC or JC
      * 74 players have only their highschool listed
      * 1 player has no previous school listed (a RS-FR punter from Kalona. homeschooled perhaps?)


      That is going strictly by the roster listing for previous schools. They didn't necessarily play FB at those schools, and I know that some of the CCs/JCs don't even HAVE football teams.
      ---------------------------------
      And for Delaware:
      (again, just going off what is listed on the website roster)
      97 players listed:

      * 15 from FBS schools
      * 3 from other FCS schools
      * 1 from D3
      * 1 from JC/CC
      * 77 from HS


      So either junior colleges and such aren't as prominent out east, or Delaware just didn't list most of them on the roster.
