Houston RT Grad Transfer Jarrid Williams enters Portal

[Paranos]

If that's accurate, then Williams isn't coming in here as a blueshirt, as that would mean he can't play.

Williams has not been formally recruited since he has not physically met with any Miami coaches nor has he officially visited.

Counting Football Scholarships Forward

There is been a lot of debates on how this can be done. Here is the rules from the NCAA handbook for FY2019-2020 that define what a recruit is and a non recruited Student-Athlete. This rule could be applied to Houston oline grad transfer Jarrid Williams as long he doesn't OV Miami, meet with...

I was referring to the chart that RVA posted. If that chart is accurate, then Williams isn't a blueshirt because he's not coming here to sit out a year.

Zion had a very rough year, but apparently he was our best option at left tackle and now he is a year older and hopefully a year bigger and stronger. I wouldn't sleep on him showing improvement.

I agree. I don’t understand it either. I’m not certain of the relevance to counters if a guy took an OV or not.

If a recruit meets with a on field coach on/off campus, or officially visits campus then he is considered to have been recruited and if provided athletic aid by the school upon enrollment he is then considered an intial counter for that year. But if the recruit comes to the university an his tuition is funded from a source other an athletic scholarship such as academic or as an employee's child then the recruit doesn't count as is classified as a walkon.

So what happened, I though he’d be committed by now? Lol

Reading through the great blueshirt debate of 2020 (as well as the other ic counter debates, etc) is giving me a massive headache and no greater understanding. But obviously, there must be some scenario where he can play this year, otherwise why is he even considering us? I don’t think there’s any doubt that he is considering us, or am I wrong?

That chart is not correct. WVU had during the 2019 season had 3 blueshirt grad transfers that played during the season.

I'm guessing there's an extra IC that the fans aren't aware of. Maybe we had an appeal on adding an IC that was granted or something like that.

I don't see Williams coming here and paying his own way when he has other good options. And, if RVA's chart is accurate, then he's not coming here as a blueshirt either because he's not sitting out a year.

My fellow thick chick aficionado, are you absolutely certain that WVU used "blueshirts" on those 3, or was that just speculation from an article that you read? The way teams actually handle a lot of this stuff is never made public, which leads to so much of the confusion.

There’s a normal range of thick... and then there’s the Paranos level of thick.

Wasn’t there talk about getting a counter back for Asa Martin?

Wtf is going in here with this Dr. Seus sht!!
Red shirt, grey, blue shirt, 2 shirt?!!!

The numbers always work out. Not sure why so many people stress about all of it constantly.

He has nowhere to go but up after last year's performance. I just hope we didn't ruin his confidence by putting him in a situation he was destined to fail in. Think about it, how many true freshmen start the opening week at left tackle? Not more than a few in the entire country and they're usually highly heralded recruits.

I can’t see Campbell starting at LT. RT yes, but not LT. Campbell strength is run blocking (at the moment). King will be running for his life with JC at LT.

My thoughts exactly. Possible that the NCAA gave us back an IC for Asa Martin and the staff just kept it under their hat. Who knows? But the fact Williams is seriously considering us is proof enough that we must have room for him. If he's coming, it's to play this season and get to the NFL next year.

 

[grover]

42 pages of drama. This Williams transfer dude is generating more angst than Tyrique Stevenson and Josh Jobe. I'm a little tired of it. Happy we'll have an answer either way today.

 

[G Reg3rdLeg]

Baylor site saying this isn’t done yet. Hang on tight

Unless he is injured, Donaldson will be starting on the inside imo.

Not sure if this is a “he should be starting“ or “you think he will start because the staff just plays him” but he’s one of the worst linemen I’ve see here. Pipho level garbage. I don’t see him ever cutting the weight and magically having bend. No more seeing him bent over at the waist, lumbering after the 100+ pound lighter d linemen that just blew passed him. The dudes hype is the only reason he plays.

@RVACane you know what to do if this thing reaches 49 pages.
