A very long shot, but I bet Ray has put in a call....

The Slive rule.

 

[patdog]

The Slive Masoli rule.

 

[Ol Blue.sixpack]

The Slive rule.

I don't know anything about a Slive rule.

Didn't MSU have a linebacker from Clemson that did thesame thing last year?

Assuming the Masoli/Maye rule applies to basketball as well

 

[SwaggDawg]

It was my understanding that the Masoli Rule was packaged in with the 25 scholarship limit for football.

 

[patdog]

He was the last 1-year transfer in the SEC. Mississippi was able to go after the Maryland QB because he still had 2 years to play.

 

[Ol Blue.sixpack]

Why doesn't the SEC want one year transfers?

They don't seem to mind one-and-done basketball players.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

If they are 18 with no intent on graduating, come on down. If you have actually graduated and want to pursue a master's somewhere in the SEC, or if you are on track to graduate, then screw you, we are too good for you. **

**Unless you haven't joined the SEC yet, which is how Missouri got Oriakhi from UConn. Perhaps TAMU should call Lyons.

Slive said this when the rule was voted in:

"We're not interested in athletes coming for the purpose of one year and then moving on," Slive said ...

Lyons had a turbulent season, being suspended for his role in the Xavier-Cincinnati fight.

I get that he's a good player, and yeah we could probably use him. But do we REALLY want to take the risk of dealing with the same **** that got our last coach "retired?"

Whenever a coach and player come to a "mutual decision to move on" that's a really big red flag.

If it was Bama in football or UK in basketball then all is well, but it was the other schools using to rule, not the Elite powers..
