Greg Bell leaves the team

I always thought blocking players from transferring anywhere is dumb. It just sheds a bad light on the school. Who cares if a player transfers to a future opponent.
I generally agree with your take. This one feels different though because of the new 4 game rule. I think rubbing a little extra salt in the wound is okay for people quitting mid season.
 
I heard SF is going to give a seminar, and laying out all our schemes.
I hear osuwest,and every Big school have front row seats, including okie
 
ESPN: Nebraska granted his release but restricted Bell from talking with fellow Big Ten members, non-conference opponents of Nebraska over the next three years and Oregon State.

Frost then went on to explain he believes Oregon State has been tampering with the 3 NU players that transferred to OSU...hence the no Oregon State clause. Coitus you Riley and OSU.

And starting next week coaches can no longer restrict where a player can transfer to.

Theres more to it than this.
It allows,or can create this type of late coaching contact when one schools official start cant accept anymore players, while another schools on quarters, where they can still get kids in late.
Like Bell.

If SF doesnt stick to his guns, or any other coach whose school is on semester vs those on quarters, its an extreme unfair advantage, and something the ncaa has to clean up this year after their no restrictions, redshirt shift.

Like Bell.
This is the rub. They need to set a date and not have it dictated by when a semester, trimester, or quarter starts.
 
Here's what Frost actually said:


"Frost said he had "no doubt" that Roberts, Gebbia and Lindsey were in touch with "coaches who were formerly here." In this case, that'd be Trent Bray, now an assistant with the Beavers, and former Nebraska coach Mike Riley, an analyst at Oregon State who's going to be coaching in a new spring football league in 2019.


"It's hard for me to criticize (Oregon State coaches) without being hypocritical," Frost said, noting that he talked to Central Florida quarterback McKenzie Milton on his birthday Wednesday night. "But at the same time, if someone is trying to contact our kids while they're still our kids and trying to get them to transfer, then I'm not going to be a fan of that continuing to happen. I'm not saying it did happen." "
 
Its why Bell, who to my knowledge, has no connections with osu was forbidden.
Its the policy definately in his case.
Since SF didnt produce any facts on osu coaches playing dirty, good enough for me, and I too agree, friendships are one thing,meddling another.
So, we dont take away liberties to have more safety,right?
Let former coaches have friendships with former players, but no meddling.
 
This isn't the first time Oregon State has been accused of tampering. In May, Hawaii football coach Nick Rolovich called out Oregon State on social media for sending recruiting materials to his current players. Oregon State said the mailings were unintentional and that it was committed to following NCAA rules. Three Oregon State assistants had worked at Hawaii in recent years.
Nebraska's Frost suspects Oregon St. tampered
 
I sort of love it. Because it's a departure for the Beavers from the quiet, polite, nice-guy image they've cast over the years. Now, they're pirates, raiding the four-star talent. And while we all know Mike Riley may be mixed up behind the scenes some, it's Jonathan Smith's program now, and I admire that he's making people uncomfortable.

Canzano: Nebraska annoyed at Oregon State? Great. Hope it keeps up.
 
After the initial annoyance, I’m over it. We shouldn’t be hung up when people treasure our trash.
 
What's funny about that article they talk about the amazing 4 star transfer receiver they got from Nebraska as if he was the second coming of Jerry rice. OSU fans probably think they have a future heisman winner. In fact they get a guy so terribly out of shape in the off season he went "rabdo" and ended up in the hospital. A guy that never did spit at nebraska. A guy that it sounds like was a cancer. And isn't it amazing after him and bell leave how practice and game prep has never been better and everyone is pulling together.

Greg Bell......a guy that spent two years at a juco....strike one. A guy who plays four games at Nebraska and transfers out. I quit...strike two. As for strike three??? It won't take long.

You think I care if you block me? However, tell me how this team is going to get over the hump if the most talented players on the team keep walking? It looks to me like there is a communications problem. Unlike you, I'll save my sunshine pumping until I see some results.
I find it interesting that you think he was the most talented. From what I have seen he is clearly the #3 guy & its not even close. Its not always a bad thing to have guys leave the program. Bell was to me was a :wave2:
 
Just a hunch, but I have a feeling that a former player who transferred was being a go-between to avoid breaking NCAA rules.
