Comments
Here are the relevant NCAA rules:
Exceptions
Exception: If you meet a legislated exception, it means a specific regulation will not apply to you. The school to which you are transferring determines whether you are eligible and has the authority to apply exceptions.
One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:
Waiver: An action that sets aside an NCAA rule because a specific, extraordinary circumstance prevents you from meeting the rule. An NCAA school may file a waiver on your behalf; you cannot file a waiver for yourself. The school does not administer the waiver, the conference office or NCAA does.
Transfer Process
Academic year in residence: Under the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an academic year in residence at the school to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year in residence at the new school before you can play for or receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you qualify for a transfer exception or waiver. To satisfy an academic year in residence, you must be enrolled in and successfully complete a full-time program of studies for two-full semesters or three-full quarters. Summer school terms and part-time enrollment do not count toward fulfilling an academic year in residence.
@superblackeagle I can't help but wonder how you think Mullen orchestrated this?
I'm confident that he contacted Brenton once he hit the transfer portal - but I assume about 50 other coaches did as well.
Absolutely. I sincerely doubt Mullen was talking to Cox all offseason trying to flip a scholarship player. He has trouble getting high school students to commit. He's not recruiting scholarship players at other schools.
Dan Mullen, any comment on Brenton Cox's drug usage and rumors o f issues with previous coaching staff?
Thanks. So how were coaches able to refuse a request to transfer to certain schools, was it the transfer release? I think there was an SEC rule about intraconference transfers, is that no longer in effect?
Well, as if our OLine don't already have enough motivation to squash UF's Dline, this is just gonna make them circle the cocktail party on the calendar 3 or 4 more times with that red magic marker.
I'd like to see Thomas or Wilson turn the boy into astroturf pancake myself.
C’mon now this is Cox ego going somewhere to have an “I’ll show them” moment. Why else would he go there? He could have literally went anywhere he wanted. Kind of shocked he didn’t end up at Bucknutz.
He should fit in nicely with all the other delusional thugs down there. Good riddance.
If this works out for them, they got themselves a ball player. Not happy about that!
Cox is a problem child. This should work out good for us. Gators think they got an elite player. They got a troublemaker who'll screw up team unity even more and eventually leave Fla or be dismissed again I bet.
I think that's giving Mullen way too much credit. He couldn't orchestrate his way out of a wet paper bag.
It hurts them and helps us. That's a big winner for us.
If I had the time, I'd pull up some UF board threads and comments when COX got arrested for weed in his room...you know when they called him a **** and talked trash.... Now they welcome him and praise his addition to the team...hilarious. I hope his attitude doesnt change and he just moves it into their locker room. If the coaches were on him and trying to teach...you can bet the UF coaches will see the same faults and try to coach him the same stuff....gonna be quite the reality check for Cox ....like "dang even these coaches think I need to get better..."HA Would be a thing of beauty if he doesn't crack 2 deep down there either...but we all know the situation in the swamp, they just need bodies right now, this was a desperately needed pair of legs for them.
I hope we hang 40+ on them in a shut out this year.
How great would it be if this was an elaborate ploy by Kirby to go full Jerry Rogers with Cox, knowing that Mullen would take him.
UGA - 73
UF - 0
I think Cox will be a future NFL player if he becomes teachable. He was just a freshman last year and played a lot. I’d be surprised if he was able to play this year but he will ball out in his RS sophomore/junior/senior seasons. Guy has 3 playin seasons to put it together.
I will not wish him any success because eff Fu.
headline should read, " cox gets portald by freshman smith" congrats gators ?? ...dear uf, your teams best recruiter is a freshman for uga.....instead of celebrating..... take a good hard look at your program. beyond pathetic..... side note- uga/kirby may just portal mullet this yr....
