Jeff Byers out for the whole season
Carroll made that announcement recently. Also, Rocky Hinds and Eric Wright have been denied their release to UNLV.
This is a pretty big blow for the Oline, is it not?

He played for over half the season at guard. But you are right, dline is where they lost some players.Laxplayer wrote:He was out most of last year too. Having Justice back will certainly help. I think they have more D-line problems than O-line.
Hey, K, what about that trade proposal I sent you?
Yeah, I'm gonna hold on to him for about a week or two.

The rumor is that Carroll believes Hinds and Wright contacted UNLV before getting their release, which is an NCAA violation. They can appeal, but it sounds like this is more about making sure they (USC and the players) don't get into trouble than it is about fucking over the kids.

Grad-rate stats-or-no if a kid wants to leave let him, unless you know some other school has been meddling of course. Then you gotta protect your house. When you have lots of blue-chippers(like a USC gets) you are going to have some ending up disappointed and wanting to leave. Plus if you make kids stay you open yourself up for major negative-recruiting attacks. IMO the grad-rates should be about what percent of kids who stay at your school for four or more years graduate, case closed, if they didn't stay they shouldn't count.

Agree with 1 and 3, disagree with 2 and 4. W/r/t 2, you have to really fuck up to flunk out if you are a football player, at any school. If you flunk out, you didn't meet your end of the deal and the school should be held accountable. As for number 4, I could go either way with this one but I'm of the opinion that you (the coach) got a pretty good idea what type of guy you are recruiting and you are taking the risk by recruiting him.Believe the Heupel wrote:If it were up to me, I'd write the rule like this:
1. Players who transfer to another school are excluded.
2. Players who flunk out of school are excluded-I don't really figure there's much point in punishing schools for holding players to regular academic standards...
3. Players who transfer IN from JuCo will count with the class that entered three years before them (thus giving the JuCo three years to graduate.)
4. Players who are dismissed from the team for disciplinary matters are excluded-again, why punish a school for upholding a code of conduct?

I agree. If you say, "we kicked Johnny out of school because he raped a girl and he had a drug problem" the university in question is taking the right course of action and should not be punished. If this happened every year, the you might have to look into it.

The Hinds and Wright denial has nothing to do with Pete Carroll. It's our vindictive/ass athletic director Mike Garrett who has a very ugly past with numerous universities, including UNLV.
Sucks much that Keith is out for the seaon, this is not the kind of news I wanted to get when I got back. :x
