He got pulled over and hat pot and a gun in his vehicle. Not really someone you want on the team

State trooper may get disciplined as well

I heard he smoked a lot of "spice" which is fake weed that is legal and is supposed to be much worse for your brain than regular weed

If it made him stupid enough to carry a gun in his car and have it out for a cop to see it....

spice is chemically awful.. basically some non-narcotic plant sprayed with a ton of terrible chemicals.

Regardless, don't let him anywhere near C-U or the football team..

He's the SEC version of Clarett

Alright I have forgotten it was a long time ago. But the WR from LSU that was talking about transferring here. Did he stay at LSU? I can't remember. I know he would have to sit out.

Kadron Boone?

LSU's AD/Miles talked him into staying.

If that wasn't already depressing enough, maybe camp will do the trick when he looks around and sees how depleted they are.

I believe one of the stipulations of the transfer rule is players cannot play or even practice with the team this year. If they do, they are not allowed the "free" transfer.

Above contradicts this site - http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-footbal...layers-leaving - it says "The worst might not even be over yet for PSU, as players will still be able to transfer out after the season as well without NCAA penalty. "

^^^^that is correct. They have one year to transfer. The only way they can't play this year is if they participate in a PSU practice this fall. They can still transfer after that, they just can't play this year.

If they end up having a bad season, it might get real ugly for them with transfers.

I believe it works like this:

1. If you practice with PSU this year, it starts your clock for your eligibility for the 2012 season (cannot transfer mid-year).

2. After the 2012 season, PSU players have until the start of the 2013-14 school year to transfer out with out penalty. After school starts, the one year sit-out rule is back in force for the duration of their PSU career.

We were in the top 2 I think for another PSU oline a few years ago. His name escapes me at the moment. Maybe another possibility?

Still isn't 100% clear to me, but I'm dumb, but here is the release from the ncaa

http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/...20723/21207234

Transfers

-Football student-athletes who transfer will not have to sit out a year of competition. Any current football student-athletes who transfer to any NCAA school (all divisions) during the 2012-13 academic year will be immediately eligible, provided they are admitted through the normal process and are otherwise eligible.
-Any current football student-athletes who begin preseason practice or enroll in classes at another school for the fall term of 2013 (begin preseason practice or enroll in classes at another institution) will be immediately eligible, provided they are admitted through the normal process and are otherwise eligible.
-Penn State football student-athletes can decide to transfer from now until the 2013 season (before participating in preseason practice with Penn State) and play immediately at the new school.
-Penn State will release any incoming student-athletes from the National Letter of Intent. Such individuals are not considered transfer student-athletes and can compete immediately at another school as long as they are otherwise eligible.
-Student-athletes who transfer during the 2012 season and have not competed for Penn State during that season will be immediately eligible for competition upon transfer, provided they are admitted under the normal process and are otherwise eligible per NCAA regulations. Student-athletes who transfer during the 2012 season after having competed for Penn State will not be eligible for competition during the same season at the next institution.
-Penn State will be responsible for notifying the NCAA regarding the status of all transfer student-athletes.

I don't really care who, I'd be happy with any of them at this point. If it's LaQuon, then our WR problem is solved.

Clifton won't commit until Spearman does, so it's either Treadwell or Spearman.

Are we still in the mi for Alvin Bailey at all?

They have a lot more guys than just those that you named in their organization.

why?

I'll reiterate.. Core 6 has a pretty good-sized roster.. That commitment could be anyone they have working out, including a guy like Khairi Bailey.

Calm down, everyone.
