Too early for a 2-deep?

[FishingBack]

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

shouldn't be...now

[bluecrew]

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

If given the chance...Yes.

I dont think the PR hit would be as bad as yall are making it out to be. Hell yall got no problem with the other transfers we have? Did Ahmad Paige get caught with pot in the car at UT...I thought so.

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!'

Masoli has to attend class. That is thing with the quarter system. If he doesn't take school seriously then he can end up not eligible for the bowl game.

Also it would be a smart decision to have a coach who makes sure Masoli is in class every day. 1 screw up and he's cut.

[NavyBulldog1]

Is there actually any real potential or talks of Masoli transferring to Tech, or are we just discussing it since he was recently kicked off the Ducks and has one year left?

The guy is a thug. You don't want him. He has to sit out a year anyway.

If he has to sit out a year then don't take him. Rumors are he can avoid that sit out year.

If he has to sit out a year I don't think he shows

Because he's here taking Master's level courses??

And let me put it this way. If we don't want guys on our team considered thugs, then we've got quite a few guys we should cut.

[techfan01]

I'll take him in a heartbeat. The kid is a player. Give him a chance and if he messes up give him the boot. I would much rather have him under center then Ross Jenkins. I think y'all are overreacting about the bad PR, and I don't think we would care after we win 10 games. With Masoli at quarterback it immediately changes the outlook of our season. I don't know if he us even considering us or where the rumor came from, but I'm all for it.

P.S. Who gives a shit what ulm, or ull thinks about us?

[FishingBack]

Paige has 1 strike. Masoli has 3 or 4 arrest already right?

[CChandler]

Yeah. 3 that we know of. Rumors of battery arrests in HS would make 4.

But, to be clear because I sound kind of dissenting right now, if JM ended up here, I'd root for him to clean it up and sincerely wish for the best. I'd cheer for him on the field.

I just think its an unwise move.

ditto.

[GatorDawg]

Not yet -

Found the deadline if anyone is interested. Apparently it is July 6th.

[SixWings]

Give him a chance and if he messes up give him the boot.

+1

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a second chance school, as long as the 'candidates' have a very, very short leash. Just look at what Colt Brennan and that WR did at UH. They were both transfers with checkered pasts, right?

These players are kids, and kids can always change. You never know what a second chance combined with a structured, caring, family-style environment can do.
