BISONATION Recruiting Updates

[MAKBison]

The financial agreement there is no contract. You could leave after a season and go wherever you want and there is no release from the school. There's no security with an agreement so unless you're a top notch recruit who's coveted there isn't much of a benefit for you. If recruits miss the NLI signing period and sign late they more than likely go the financial agreement way. Happens alot with your big name late signings in college basketball.

Thanks did not know that

Its been a long time and would have to find my CLI to see the wording. BUT I dont think you could flip to another team in the conference. As in you cant do that and you wont be allowed to play there.

I thought you just had to sit out a year

You lose a season of eligibility - same thing that's happening in Texas Tech vs Baker Mayfield. Shitty thing for Mayfield is he signed an LOI as a walk on.

Back then I Cant remember. But that may be true.

BUT....I believe the School can release you from your NLI and then you would not lose a year.

BTW I think the dead period is/was Monday until tomorrow.....I could and probable am wrong

Yes but most schools honor the rule that says they will lose a year of eligibility if they transfer within conference. TT could release him and he could get that year back, but they are simply honoring the NCAA's rule that was put in place. There are exceptions and each transfer is a case by case situation. Mayfield really didn't have a great reason to transfer other than losing his starting spot at TT and questionable communication between him and Klingsbury about a scholarship, so Klingsbury is just honoring the rule that was put in place and not releasing him.

Now the situation you bring up would come under a different ruling IMO. So he signs with SDSU. You now want to go to NDSU. You would have to sit out a year because you are transferring within the same level of play.

I think the schools have to agree to release the player. If not, they have to sit out a year unless they win an appeal

so do we have a back up plan? or did this decomitting at the last min f us?


I am sure he had the decency to let our Coaching staff know before now???

I wouldn't be surprised if Derrick Tuszka was converted to the TE position. It might make sense anyway. Tuszka is a bit of a freak athlete. At 6'5" 224 last spring he ran a 100 meters in 11.52 and also qualified for state in the shot put. He is faster than some of our CB's and WR's.

He started FIVE years in basketball, which gives me little doubt he can catch a football.

He played both WR and TE in HS as well as multiple defensive positions.

I'm sure they have considered this, but they will also do what is best for the kid. With his size and athleticism he may have a shot someday at the next level. They will want to help him reach his optimum level of play.

Just a thought.

Most schools will release a player they just cant play for a team in their conference.

With Easton under center and not having that deep passing ability like Carson I can imagine us using more TE for more short passing situations.
