I heard that Masoli, QB, Oregon is considering transferring and we are one of the schools he is considering transferring to. We aren't the favorite but in the conversation. He would be able to play this year. I don't have any idea if any of this is true.Take it for what it is worth.

Forget all the talk about transferring and us being in the picture. How in Sam Hill would he be eligible to play this year? In addition to that pesky transfer rule, he's also a two time loser at Oregon. Not exactly the kind of case the NCAA is going to be sympathetic too.
I hate to get stuff started for no reason, but I have heard twice today from fans of other schools that he was supposed to visit campus Saturday after visiting LA Tech Friday. They said they heard he was deciding between those two schools. I have no clue whatsoever if this is true. I just wanted to see if anyone else had heard anything. It's an interesting situation because he would be perfect for our offense but at the same time would delay the develpment of Relf and Russell. We would instantly be a better team with himbehind center but this guy seems like an absolute thug. Doesn't learn his lesson. He is a gamer though. He can take over. Wouldn't know what to think if he came to the team.
Louisiana Techcoaches are pretty sure they are getting him.That would be really huge for them. The only school they are worried about is us.I am hearing Tech is the favorite but we have an outside chance. If you don't think this guy could help us this year, you are kidding yourself. I am also hearing that what he got in trouble for was reallynot that big of a deal.I just threw that last part in there to start the spin.My appologies for adding to a thread that is nottalking aboutPhil Turner.lars larson said:
I mean the guy was already suspended the entire upcoming season for burglary, then got arrested aGAIN a couple weeks ago. Good guy.

Ifhe hasalready graduated, which he has, andhe finds a school with a degree that Oregon does not offer, he can play this year. A few years ago, the Georgia Tech QB transferred to La. Tech and didn't have to sit out a year. He had already graduated and he transferred to Tech without sitting out. It is possible. I don't think he is coming but have heard he is considering us.
Although, technically it's two loopholes you're referring to. One was that a player who had graduated could transfer without sitting out a year. I know that one was closed. The other was that if a school dropped a major, a player who was in that major could transfer without sitting out a year. I would guess that one is still open. However, it would only apply if Oregon had dropped Masoli's major.
so I would assume he didn't have to sit out.
I do think that if you are booted from a team though, you still have to sit.
