Noticed that former PSU is still listed in the transfer portal and has not been picked up. He left team in Spring 2018 or early Summer if I recall properly. Not good for him. Probably end up at FCS level or below.
forget Fields ... what are odds Martell gets a waiver? After all, his coach quitDidn't know that Martell to Miami was now "official".
Anyone wanna' take odds now on the likelihood of Fields being declared a "hardship case" and getting immediate eligibility?
If he doesn't, OSU may be looking at a 7-5 season

Meant to say former PSU WR Irvin Charles still has not been picked up.
I was in State College last Friday afternoon before the hockey game.. and for pregame drinks I was walking towards Mad Mex with a friend and saw Irv Charles walking the opposite side of the street on Pugh. I wasn't aware he was still on campus. He had a backpack on and looked to be headed to campus. Good for him.
1 hour after seeing him, the Juwan news broke
Could it be that he stayed at PSU academically but wasn't on the squad so he technically sat out a year? If so he can start somewhere immediately I would guess.Meant to say former PSU WR Irvin Charles still has not been picked up.
Let’s make this easier to follow
My money is on Urban suddenly healed when Day get's fired for two consecutive 9 win seasons. After all, he still works there.
Really helps Illinois in travel costs. No longer need to book flights for 9 people and hotel rooms to be able to camp out at other NCAA institutions in an attempt to snap student-athletes.UCF & Miami are not wasting time, while Illinois get some and loses some.
why can't kids who are not in good academic standing transfer? that's just dumb .... these kids are some of the ones who may benefit the most (academically) from a change of sceneryMake it very simple, let any kid transfer for any reason after the season is completed and must be in good academic standing at the time. Period!
Coaches and fans do not need the headaches associated with a dissatisfied player. Just like any other regular student who has a scholarship and wants to leave or a professor/administrator/coach/custodian/etc.
Byebye! Good luck! Someone else will fill your space.
All kidding aside, not that I'm a fan of Mike Tomlin, but earlier this year when dealing with the Lev Bell situation he said "We want volunteers, not hostages". I feel the same way about these guys. I'd rather have 72 guys happy to be at PSU than 85 with a dozen or so that make the locker room uneasy.Remember back in 2012/2013 when we had, like, almost sixty scholarship players available?
Ah, those were the days...
I think we lost less kids when the sanctions hit.So according to that list-
Penn St- 8
Ohio St- 2
Michigan- 2
Michigan St- 0
Iowa- 3
Wisconsin- 0
Clemson- 1
Alabama- 1
Georgia- 2

Thank you.You would guess wrong. Player has to be enrolled for a year at the school to which he transferred to become eligible.
But if he graduates this Spring?You would guess wrong. Player has to be enrolled for a year at the school to which he transferred to become eligible.
But if he graduates this Spring?
Yes. That is it.Correct. The grad transfer is the exception that makes a player eligible immediately which is why, presumably, Charles is working toward his degree.

Penn St- 8
Ohio St- 2

Last year Michigan had 7 transfers, so it’s not unheard of. Save for Johnson and Polk most of the transfers either played very little or were special teamers. I’m not a recruiting guru, but here’s my take on the transfers. Please correct any errors. Most of the transfers are understandable:
Wade - A lot of people say Wade was going to compete for a starting safety spot, but if that were the case I think we would have seen him play more than he did this year. Fact is Wade has Sutherland, Taylor, incoming 4 star Tyler Rudolph and incoming JUCO player Brisker to compete against. When he did get to play he appeared to be slow to the play, but the kid can tackle. I’m not too sure, however, that he has the speed for this level.
Ayron Monroe is set to graduate in the spring and had a chance to compete for a staring spot. After spending his whole college career at Penn State he now looks to transfer for one season - this one is perplexing.
Gellerstedt- Buried on depth chart.
Dalton - Buried on delth chart.
Polk - Passed up by true freshman. Played less and less as the year went on. I think he saw the writing on the wall.
Johnson - Big physical specimen but his numbers aren’t impressive. Has one more year left and clearly feels he’s not going to get the chance at Penn State to have the breakout season that I think he’s looking for.
Jenkins - Never able to crack the rotation. Unlikely to do so at this point so why not give it a go elsewhere?
Darien - Family issues.
Faison-Walden - He’s been buried on the depth chart. Maybe doesn’t see a lot of opportunity to play? Most of the backers are young and five star Smith and four star Dixon will be freshman next year and added to the mix.
McPherson - Junior last year with sophomore eligibility. Don’t get this one either. Maybe didn’t see much opportunity to play though from what I’ve read he was moving up the depth chart.
Let's play a game! It's called guess where the Penn State Transfer will end up!
Wade- Penn State- I think he sticks in the end.
Monroe- Maryland
Gellerstedt- Eastern Kentucky
Dalton- UMass
Polk- Old Dominion
Juwan Johnson- Mississippi State
Jenkins- Duquense
Darien- Bowie State
Faison-Walden- Charlotte
McPherson- Maryland
