Vernon Adams QB @ Eastern Washington to transfer?

Re: Vernon Adams QB @ Eastern Washington to transfer?

Thanks for the correction.

Personally, good for Vernon Adams. He gets to start his master's and experience playing for Oregon. If D.J. had done the same I would have been bummed, but excited for him to improve himself and his ability to make a career out of it.

you mean how he has made a career out of it at Northern Iowa? He is going to be a third round draft pick. Good for Vernon Adams, thats the dumbest thing I have seen on this board in five years, and that includes all the idiot hawk fans TP....

You realize that on any given year there are a half dozen returning starters for nothern iowa that could move up and start at BCS schools their senior year. Would it be "good for them" too? Why don't we start holding combines for the BCS schools to come in and pluck our players. The "good for them" is not a precedent we want to start setting. This isn't about him starting his masters program. What a crock of ****...

If he wanted to work hard enough to graduate in 3 years and transfer within the rules, good for him. You don't think he could go higher than the 3rd round if he played in an FBS conference for one year? He could definitely "improve his ability" to make a career out of it by getting drafted higher and making more money.

I realize we have plenty of FBS/NFL level talent. How many of them ever graduate with a year left of eligibility?

It's a legal move, completely within the rules, and I'm sure he is excited about the opportunity. I love FCS football, but that doesn't mean there aren't greener pastures and you shouldn't take a look when they are available.

You know what's cute? 23-3.

We're actually 21-2.

Life in North Dakota ^^^^^^.

Sifting through a UNI board in the middle of winter looking for slights.

We're 20-2, but I see what you were trying to do there...

This has dual fan written all over it. Exposed...

Re: Vernon Adams QB @ Eastern Washington to transfer?

Jegbomb, you raise some good points. I don't agree with all of them, however. What rule would you draft, or change, to eliminate this issue? I have heard a few people criticize the rent a player system employed by Hoiberg and now Oregon. If you change it, it can't just be to give an exemption to FCS programs.

Its pretty simple, make them sit out a year like a regular transfer. If that eats up their remaining eligibility, then so be it. If these kids are so concerned about a particular graduate program (lol), then they are 100% free to pursue that program without playing sports like any other student would.

The whole concept of this "academic" loophole is a scam and an embarrassment.

Re: Vernon Adams QB @ Eastern Washington to transfer?

My question is....is he really good enough to start at Oregon? Don't get me wrong he is a good QB but we are talking about going from the "Big Sky" to the Pac 12. The Big Sky is definitely not known for its defensive prowess. His numbers are inflated quite a bit in that conference.

Re: Vernon Adams QB @ Eastern Washington to transfer?

He has 900 yards passing, 220 yards rushing, and 7 touchdowns against two Pac 12 opponents. I think he will suffice...

7 TDs and 400+ yards was against a 8-6 Washington team that was 4-5 in the Pac 10 last year. I'm not sold.

Put Oregon talent around him.

He did that with FCS skill people and an FCS offensive line.

Really? 400 yards and 7 TDs leading an FCS team against a middle of the PAC 12 team isn't enough for you?

Do u want him to put up 500 vs Bama with a juco squad?

I suppose I'm a little too hard on him. I just take offensive stats from the Big Sky less seriously than I should I guess. I agree that putting up big stats against a FBS team is impressive. I'm just saying its hard to really say what he will do week in and week out against tougher competition. I would like to see how he would stack up against Stanford or Michigan State. Wish him the best of luck. Would be kind of neat to see.
