Wow Leavitt is transferring?! Collies bro headed to Hawaii. Wonder if they did this to avoid going on their LDS mission?

You should UAB QB Cody Clements to the list. He'll have one year of eligibility remaining and can transfer and play immediately (with UAB cancelling football). He had an excellent season for UAB. He would make a great replacement for most of the erratic spread black quarterbacks in the country. Unfortunately, it looks like he's considering Texas. Strong would NEVER play him. He even said he just wants competition to "push" his beloved Tyrone Swoopes. Clements should look at Marshall. That would be his best option.

UAB LB Jake Ganus (a player that Vanilla_Sky brought to my attention) should also garner consideration as an immediate starter next season. He was one of the best LBs in the country last year. Maybe Kansas St. will come calling for him.

In addition to Ganus and Clements, I suspect back up QB Jeremiah Briscoe and C Lee Dufor to gain some interest. Potentially starting LB Derek Slaughter as well, who played his freshman year at Nebraska before leaving to UAB. Apparently Ganus has heard from Old Dominion, Marshall, and Georgia.

According to this article,

https://www.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=878&CID=1715035

Ganus intends to transfer to Georgia. He wants to transfer immediately rather than waiting until the Spring semester is over. Georgia is a good team. Not sure if it's the right place for him. Not sure any SEC team is the right place for a white man at the current time.

I hope Ganus doesn't get screwed over if he chooses UGA. Marshall might be the better choice but only time will tell.

Freshman former 4-star ILB Michael Ferns is transferring from Michigan to West Virginia.

While Michigan loses a once-promising recruit, this is a transfer that shouldn't have a huge short- or long-term impact. Desmond Morgan, Joe Bolden, Ben Gedeon, and Mike McCray projected to fill the two-deep at inside linebacker in 2015, while Ferns's 2014 classmates Noah Furbush, Chase Winovich, and Jared Wangler provide options for the future.

Kind of amazing that McCray is the only black player on that list of seven (formerly eight) inside linebackers. Michigan under Brady Hoke was pretty lame and uninspiring with its racial quotas. Throughout football, these usually take the form of black-only positions. Considering that inside linebacker is still an "up for grabs" position, I'm frankly surprised that no one has made a stink about the over-abundance of palefaces on the depth chart.

Clements transferring to South Alabama.
No word on Ganus, although Old Dominion is courting him. He would undoubtedly start there. But there are some SEC teams that would be improved by his presence, too. Couldn't be much blacker than UAB.

Update (5 min later:D): Georgia has offered Ganus a scholarship. Gotta remember to always check twitter before posting. News gets there before anywhere else.

Jeff Driskel is exploring a transfer to Duke.

Good for him Cutcliffe should be thrilled. Boones been a very very fat average QB since record setter Sean Renfree graduated


As for Hines a transfer to Yale is weird to me. Sure they have elite academics but there are plenty of prestigious academic schools that are D1!

Hines has the talent of an NFL receiver and scouts are already looking at him based off the production in this season alone. Playing at NC Sate would have given him a FAR better shot at the NFL than Yale will. He just went from mid round to undrafted.

Head scratcher but at least he'll have a chance to be number one guy for Yale.

Did anyone else notice the curious case of oregon essentially stealing a black quarterback from eastern Washington - Vernon adams? That move by oregon epitomizes what is wrong with the NCAA. Oregon is likely to never have a white qb again.

The Oregon move is extra irritating as it looked like a white qb was the likely next starter for the Ducks, until they got Adams.

Houston's John O'Korn transferred to Michigan to learn under Jim Harbaugh. With Ohio State's OC/QB coach Jim Hermann taking the reins at Houston, O'Korn stood about a 0% chance of taking another snap as long as there was a young black man anywhere on campus to do the same.

O'Korn will sit out this year and have two years to play under Harbaugh, but he doesn't have an easy path onto the field. In 2016, he'll be battling senior Shane Morris or an incumbent sophomore. If Morris loses out this year, supplanting a younger starter will be difficult. Fortunately, Harbaugh's tutelage should keep O'Korn relevant as a pro prospect regardless.

As for Harbaugh, he talked the talk and walked the walk at Stanford, prioritizing academic profiles in his recruiting and fielding very white-friendly teams. It's still very early on in his Michigan career, but he has yet to recruit a single white player other than quarterbacks, tight ends, and offensive linemen. One positive is the decommitment of pipeline black quarterback DeMessiah Weaver, who was ludicrously offered by the previous coaching staff despite throwing <50% completions and more touchdowns than interceptions in high school.

Demessiah - wow what a ridiculous name. Haurbaugh has really recruited pro style qbs with his return to the college ranks. He got Malzone and stole Gentry from Texas. It is a little bittersweet when you see a stacked white qb depth chart with all these black quarterbacks floating around starting for other teams.

I hope jim doesn't forget all the white dlineman and lbs that helped make that stanford defense so good. I also hope he didn't forget the power running of Toby Gerhart. He already missed out on Michigan high school superstar RB Alex Grace.

Screw that white hating negrophile jim Herman. I hope he falls flat on his face and loses his job quickly at houston.

Chris Petersen has eradicated black quarterbacks from the Huskies program! Both Troy Williams and last year's mediocre starter Cyler Miles are no longer on the team.
