EJ

[Classic]

You guys want someone that quit at Miami and then quit at the juco he transferred to?

To the first part of your question: he didn't quit at Miami. He knocked out a BOT member's kid.

To the second part of your question: yes.

hes always a cane in my book.

 

[The Franchise]

I think the guy's played a month of football since he left here. So maybe he's got some eligibility left.

 

[duke4heisman]

He was a 2011 recruit, right? Doubt that he has any eligibility left.

He left as a redshirt freshman.

2011 -2015, that's 5 years, unless I'm missing something.

Has he been playing?

Don't know. But, I don't think that matters. You have 5 years to play 4. Times up for EJ, I think.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

 

[Dingaan1828]

In what way?

 

[lauderdaleballer]

His clock starts as soon as he is a full time student. Playing or not. Unless he wants to play d2 or lower his time is up.

He's right.

 

[duke4heisman]

He has 4 yrs to play, not including the redshirt year. Unless the rules changed. Remember Weinke playing at 26 yrs old because he left early to play baseball.

 

[Ohio_Cane]

There's no running clock, is there? Wasn't Weeden 28 playing QB at OK ST?

Bingo

He was playing major league baseball before he became a student. Most guys at BYU are 20-22 yr old freshman they go on missions before enrolling to school.

Gotcha. Had no idea that's how it worked. Figured you had to actually PLAY 4 years. So if U play 1 year, go to the military for 2 years and come back, you have 1 year of eligibility left?

They can go on missions after enrolling and playing at school, and they can return 2-3 years later with no loss of eligibility, but that's an exception
for religious reasons.
Otherwise, as noted above, EJ's eligibility clock has expired.

Chris Weinke signed with FSU, but never started classes before signing with the Bluejays. If he had started classes, his 5 year clock would have started then. Since he didn't, he had all of his eligibility intact when he gave up baseball.

Weedon is pretty much the same story.

Knaw I believe they have actually have waivers or something for military...


If you play d1 or d1aa soon as you become a student the clock starts running for 5 years.

If you have an event like ej where you go to school and just stop playing you'll lose eligibility per se NCAA, but you could go to d2-d3-naia and still play as long you haven't played 4 full seasons and passed 120 credits I believe

Maybe a new coach would give him another chance? He was better than Perryman...

I didn't know that part I thought it was the same like baseball. Does military get an exception as well?
