Reports: Forcier Transferring

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

What was the extent of Robinson's injury last week? Another example of the increased risk of injury to a running QB. Forcier almost brought them back from a deep hole.

We all know he's going to Delaware.

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

A couple of things:

1. I would say there is almost zero chance Robinson leaves after his junior year. He isn't going to be an NFL QB, and I'm not sure he would project high enough at any other position to even consider leaving early.

2. There is an excellent chance Rich Rod gets canned after this year, and that could change everything. If the team gets a coach like Jim Harbaugh that wants to run a pro style offense, Forcier could be better suited than Robinson, but even then, that coach may bring in a taller, stronger armed QB.

I'd love to see Forcier at UNI, but a million things would have to fall into place, and as you suggest, its very unlikely.

1. agreed

2. really, because the AD at Michigan has told recruits when they've been on campus that Rich Rod will be around for a long time to come. If he would get rid of that dumbass defensive coordinator and bring in someone who knows ANYTHING about defense Michigan would have beaten Iowa.

Forcier will not leave Michigan...book it

Rich Rod said Denard would play this week, if Michigan had a game instead of a bye week.

If you think that actually means something you are kidding yourself.

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

Rich Rod will not be gone after this year, or next, unless he fails to win another B10 game this year*, and finishes out of a bowl again next year.

*Michigan already has 5 wins with very winnable games against Penn State, Illinois, and Purdue. Michigan will get to a bowl game this year, and will win at least 7 games.

I actually think Illinois and Purdue could win their game against UM. Penn State, not so much.

Personally, I would love a 6-6 season and then watch the UM fans squirm as they talk about how great it is to go to the Insight Bowl.

They are still projected for the gator bowl.

Michigan is still a bigger draw for bowl games than every team in the B10 with the exception of probably OSU and Iowa.

You could end up being correct, but it is definitely not the certainty you are making it out to be, and people around the situation agree.

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

Why would Denard leave? Where would he go? Is there a new professional football league that I'm not aware of?

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

well, 5 months later my thread is true!

forcier + UNI= national title

Again, I just dont see it happening. He's proved he can play major FBS football. With a redshirt at his disposal, I would expect him to stay at that level and play two years at a high level in '12-13.

Hope you're right and I'm wrong... but I doubt it.

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

Academically ineligible to play in the bowl game. Don't know how that would affect his transferring. But I can't imagine that Farley would put up with the sideshow comes along with the arm.

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

He will end up juco as he won't qualify for any NCAA schools I don't think

[9YRPLAN]

Re: Reports: Forcier Transferring

he can get eligible this spring, or during his transfer year. I'm not even sure that a 3 year player can go to a juco, but there's no way he does anyway.

He is a perfect fit for UNI scheme-wise. Plus, his family has a tradition of transfers to FCS.
