I know it's hard for us, but we have been able to get Davis Webb and other solid basketball players (Tarwater, Mullins) as grad transfers. Any we are interested in?

It was mentioned last week that Cal is after two grad transfers. One is supposed to be a TE and don't have any info about the other. Apparently neither is a done deal yet.

KAB - Not a Cal list but these guys track grad transfers for both football and basketball including who has announced their intentions to transfer. Couple of new UCLA guys on the list as well.

Their list of who has committed:

And who is available (so far): https://gradtransfertracker.com/potential-transfers/

Thanks NV. Hope they are good. There's not much news on them like other recruits?

Maybe Dylan Collie from Hawaii? Our last transfer WR from Hawaii worked out well.

I'll take the DL from Clemson!

"Dwayne Wallace, formerly of Cal, is taking his graduate transfer to Ole Miss. Wallace played in twelve games in 2016, including nine as a starter. However, he left the Golden Bears before the 2017 season, leaving him with one year of eligibility in Mississippi."

Looks like the number of grad transfers is exploding this year.

If the site is correct (and these guys seem pretty thorough), there was something like 51 D1 grad transfers in 2017. So far this year (and the numbers are still rising), there are 47 grad transfers already committed and 64 uncommitted players who have announced their intention to grad transfer. So even if nobody else joins the pool, the numbers will have more than doubled from last year.

It makes sense that there is and probably will continue to be more grad transferring. I mean, if your team
gets a super star recruit at your position threatening your PT for your senior year of eligibility, why not transfer to keep on the field.

I mean, how dumb would a player have to be to hang around when your coach is giving
you advanced warning you'll probably spend your last year of eligibility on the bench? Such a player's motivation to go to school in the first place is playing football not earning a degree in some academic discipline. Or, if you're a very good senior player, let's say at QB, why not go somewhere where the WR talent is better making you look better, like Webb did at Cal.

College football is slowly destroying itself. Think about it. What if Chryst transferred to Cal? There's no loyalty to your school. Suppose half of next year's Bears football team was made up of ex-ucla and/or ex-furd players?

Or, Ross Bowers thinks that he'll have a better chance of playing in the Rose Bowl if he transferred to
stanfurd? I hope I didn't' give him any ideas? The early reasons for playing or rooting for your school's team are meaning less and less and are becoming cornball...you know...like the Beach Boys hit "Be True To Your School!"

Looks like Ole Miss pulled the rug out from under Dwayne Wallace and he's no longer going to Ole Miss.

Also, some new names added to the list of available players, including a few from the PAC like SC's Jalen Green.

Lack of loyalty starts at the top. Coaches switch jobs on a moment's notice, sometimes even in the middle of a recruiting visit for their soon-to-be-former employer. Coach has 3, 5, or 9 years left on his current contract, that's not an obstacle.

There was an article the other day in which Tubby Smith complained about players' lack of loyalty to their school. The article noted that Tubby has been head coach at 6 different schools in the last 18 seasons.

Assistant coaches move even more frequently, in some instances. Look at a few assistant coach bios, some of 'em have 2 years at one school, 1 year at the next, 2 at the school after that, and on and on.

Given all that, we shouldn't throw "no loyalty" accusations at an athlete who has already earned a bachelor's degree at one school.

Why not make coaches sit out a year if they transfer jobs? And a transferring head coach releases all scholarship players to one time exemption to transfer as well without penalty? How about a salary cap on coach's salaries? How about anything the NCAA does to not be a money-grubbing bunch of hypocrites?

Paying players is not the solution. Throwing money at a money problem just makes everything more corrupt. The solution should be around controlling the money that goes to non-players: transparency on salaries at NCAA, cap on coach's salaries, redistribution of NCAA profit to all sports and player benefits like health/life insurance, more food allowances, and a guaranteed 4 year scholarship.
