Does Masoli Transfer?

[Uncle Rico's Clan]

Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was kicked off the team after another arrest, do you think he will transfer? Will an FCS team take a chance on someone who has had some highly publicized isssues? Here is a link to the story:

UMass needs a QB. We could use him in Amherst.

As a duck fan good riddance. He's a tremendous athlete, obviously best suited for the spread. With one year left does he go D2? Can't recall if he'd have to wait out a year at that level as well.

He can go to FCS and play right away

He can play right away at FCS level or lower. The question circulating around Portland is if the amount of marijuana is enough to cause him to go to jail. Keep in mind that he was on probation for the frat house burglary earlier. If he is able to transfer, the question is where. The places that make the most sense, based on prior history, are Portland State (able to play at the highest level in Oregon) and Montana (Pflugrad knows Duck football), but both are pretty stocked at quarterback right now (PSU had 7 QB's on the roster this spring, UM has two pretty decent QB's in Selle and Roper).

This is the guy who led Oregon to the Rose Bowl last year so benefits may outweigh the risks. Then again, maybe not.

This will be very interesting to keep an eye on.

I really don't see Montana being too interested in Masoli, however, if he were to transfer here that would be the 3rd Oregon quarterback transfers between Montana(Roper) and Montana State(Kempt).

I can't see any program being interested in him at this point...perhaps there's a soft-hearted (or perhaps soft-headed) coach or AD out there who is desperate for an athlete...but I think his days of playing scholarship college ball are over.

He has a court date scheduled for June 24. We'll find out a lot more then. Word around Portland today is that he may forego college altogether and play this year in Canada. I'm thinking that may be a bit difficult, if not because of his probation status, but also because their season begins about the time of his court date. It won't give him much time to get acclimated in a system there.

The guy did a horrible thing and we all deserve second chances. But, I wouldn't want my school bringing him in though.

I believe the new rule states an FBS player must have 2 years eligibility left to go to FCS - DII looks like the only option (a player can go to FCS with 1 year left but he must have graduated) ----
