Too early for a 2-deep?

[johnnylightnin]

Al Davis? Uh oh.

[Beaver-Dog]

Masoli still hasn't declared for the supplemental draft

I live in Oregon. You don't want Masoli, period.

[olddog75]

He has still got to show up on campus and IF he shows up on campus he still has to abide by the rules placed before him....

If this player does come and does what the coaches ask of him - then I'm all for it...

Unlike basketball - football has an 85+ roster and a transfer should have less of an impact "locker room wise" than an 15 man basketball roster

It is a given we have NO one the roster that has this guys talents and he could take us from a realistic 7 win team to a team that has the possibility of winning 9 or 10 games -

It's worth taking a look at

I totally agree, this guy is an amazing athlete and could be our missing piece. We certainly would take some PR flack. Makes for an interesting decision.

If people are talking about you its a good thing. He could turn a decent season into a special one. IF he can play this year. Plus its ALL nothing more than SPECULATION as of now.

I'd rather win 8 games and go bowling without Masoli than win 10 games and go bowling WITH Masoli and take the massive, totally deserved PR hit.

Not everyone agrees with me, and that's fine.

If Masoli is the dividing line between going bowling, period, and not going bowling, that's a little more interesting but I'd still probably rather not have him. Probably no one else agrees with that, but that's also fine.

[Dwayne From Minden]

I really think he only shows if he has one to play one...

Sometimes a change of scenery and culture does some good -

Folks need to remember Artie Smith off of the 1990 I-Bowl team

I'm with you.

I honestly think the pr hit would be bad for about a month. once the season gets started these things tend to go into the backround.

[GatorDawg]

If Masoli comes and can play this year he changes the complexion of this season. He is a game changer who can run this offense the way it needs to be run. I dont think the coaching staff believes they have the qb to do that now. It would be a risk but as Al Davis said just win baby. If he has to red shirt well...

If Masoli can transfer without having to sit out, he'd be crazy not to take a chance here. His draft stock is in the crapper now. If he can go somewhere and put all the off field stuff behind him, he could soar to the top. Especially with the same OC that brought Dasher onto the scene in MTSU.

We are coming off a 4 win season - 7 wins are not a guarantee with this team and new system....

If you are "open" about the reason you take him, then you avoid most of the negative PR -

"Yes, we are giving Masoli another chance, we feel that it could be a win win situation for all involved. Mr. Masoli has agreed to abide by the team rules and there will be a no tolerance policy in his case. We foresee no problems and Mr. Masoli has been an excellent addition to our team since he arrived on campus both in the classroom and on the field of play."

That dude hasn't been an excellent addition to any team since the 6th grade.

If he's 1 to play 1 and he's already graduated, you know good and well he will NEVER go to class. I mean that literally. He will never step foot in a classroom. He has no reason to - a Masters is out of reach within his time frame.

Absolutely nothing but trouble. Even if its for a month, or for two weeks, and even if he DOES clean up his act down the line, Louisiana Tech is still the laughing stock of college football after this signing. If y'all are ok with that...ok with Warhawks and Cajuns and Tigers and Terrapins and Chippewas and every other team under the sun laughing their ass off at our expense, and calling our program a joke for taking a guy like this...that's fine. But I'm not ok with it.

'MTSU, you won't get into CUSA because your academics suck.'

'OUR academics suck? YOU TOOK MASOLI!'

[johnnylightnin]

I don't think the PR hit will be that bad. UTEP got into CUSA by taking a drunken stripper admirer.

There is a difference between taking a chance on someone who had VERY public offenses (like Blount). I'm okay with taking this guy. And no, I don't care if the 5 ULM fans laugh about it.

[Dwayne From Minden]

But we are ok with taking every transfer that comes down the pipe in basketball?

[FishingBack]

Would you same people be wanting Ryan Perriloux right after his exit from LSU?

[CChandler]

Hell no. Kid from Nebraska should've never been here.

I'm ok with 'I didn't get PT' transfers.

I'm NOT ok with 'I was a thug and got kicked off the team' transfers.

There's a huge difference.
