Why would it be ok for jucos and not the upper divisions?
Because Jucos are so under the radar they aren’t subject to the lynch mob and thus have no need for virtue signaling.

I thought it was because Alabama was cheating and visiting anyway and don't want competition

The Oregon State transfers are gone.

Stoney Brook has 3 talented guards in the portal.

I don’t see that as a disappointment for us.

I’ve noticed that. Solid additions somewhere.

Good luck to him. I wonder if he was hoping for an offer up in Logan.

There was never a conversation about bringing Casdon here.

I think that probably puts the kibosh on basketball as well as football this year.

Lets play without them. To me it makes zero sense to cancel fall classes when it's three and a half months away, wait until July and then make a decision and see where you're at that point.

USU needs to make a concerted effort to attract a lot of out-of-state transfer students from those 23 campuses in California.

Agreed looking at the transfer portal a few current possibilities available from California Schools are...
Elijah Wever 6'5" PG USC

Juhwan Harris-Dyson 6-5 SG CAL

Zach Chappell 6-3 PG SJSU

And this list is bound to grow following todays announcement too.

Not that I think we should pursue the sjsu kid listed. But I believe the mw has a rule currently that you cannot transfer to another school in the conference. That needs to change as you are essentially losing players from the conference when some might stay within the conference.

That rule will only change when Boise State or San Diego State want it too.

I have seen the Cal player, Juwon Dyson play. He is very athletic and plays good defense. However, he cannot shoot at all.

From the Mountain West Rules Handbook:

3.6 Intra-Conference Transfer. A student-athlete who has received athletically-related financial aid or a student-athlete who was a varsity athletics award winner at the United States Air Force Academy and who transfers from one Conference institution to another shall meet the following requirements prior to being permitted to compete at the certifying institution: (Revised May 2018)
a. The student-athlete shall complete an academic year in residence at the certifying institution; and
b. The student-athlete shall forfeit one season of competition.
This rule shall not apply if the student-athlete’s previous institution discontinues the student athlete’s sport.

So, you can transfer to another MW school, you just lose a year of competition if you do so.

I think this is why it's a foregone conclusion that no one would choose to make a transfer like that. I do appreciate you taking the time to look up the official ruling on the subject. Thank you my Aggie brother!

Is forfeiting a year of competition ( redshirt) the same as forfeiting a year of eligibility? There must be lawyers on this board. Is this clear language?

I'm wondering how many spots DePaul had? Haven't they gotten half a dozen transfers already?

And yes we all know from previous comments on this board that his last name is toolson and his first name would fit in well in Provo. I personally hope he becomes an aggie.

His final four were Boise, usu, BYU and Utah. Not sure if he is a pwo opportunity or scholarship opportunity for each school.

I hope that we get him, but I believe all 4 choices are good choices for him.

I don't believe for a moment that this kid will end in an Aggie uniform.

My feeling is to wait and see.

A simple look at the individuals he's retweeted, and who he's following on his Twitter profile and it's not even a question: he'll commit to BYU-Provo.

UStateTim · Post by **UStateTim** » May 13th, 2020, 5:02 pm

Mac McClung from Georgetown is transferring. He's always shown on highlight reels because he's a freaky athletic white kid. I don't know if he's relevant as far as transferring to Utah St. but it would be cool for the Aggies to be frequently on Bleacher Report or House of Highlights.

I don’t see anything on his twitter that he is a big fan of any specific college. Not saying you are wrong in where he is leaning. Just saying his twitter doesn’t indicate that to me.

gomretat · Post by **gomretat** » May 13th, 2020, 5:10 pm

The Toolsons are true blue Cougs. The only thing that might make him lean somewhere else is that Conner was ignored by BYU until right before signing at UVU. The bad news is that it was Pope that convinced Conner to go to UVU and Pope and Conner had a very good relationship. Hope I am wrong but I will be surprised if he is not headed to BYU P.
