And yes, I am being judgmental on a transfer, with both physical issues and commitment issues (and perhaps geography issues if he thinks YSU is playing close to his Orlando FL home) . They usually don't work out, but occasionally do. Maybe I'm being too judgmental on Pollock, but paying attention to history is the best way to forecast the future, and most don't contribute much. AND lest we forget, Irizarry stayed in school, got a degree and is working as an accountant. MOST of these kids will never make a dime as an athlete, so it's good to see Louis finally "got it".

What physical issues? He played at the highest level of High School football is Florida and was all state as a Junior. Wasn't both wide receivers this year, Bailey and Patterson transfers and both are from Florida. As far as Pollock being away from home. According to his Rutgers profile his father grew up in Northeastern PA and his mother is from Ohio.
Commitment issues, you know nothing about the kid or recruiting obviously. He committed to Miss State as a Freshman and then left Rutgers because of a coaching change.

And what's your point. 8A- All State Junior Year
Number 61 ILB in the country. 89th best linebacker in the country by ESPN.
Like I said I will take 20 of him

You can have 20 of them, be my guest. You'll win a couple too I'm sure, but not many. Nobody loaded with transfers ever does. Find them, recruit them, coach them, win with them. Best way. Ocassional transfer can fill a hole, but 20 of them would be a disaster. Maybe this kick can help with kick coverage.

Mississippi State (1) Rutgers (2) YSU (3) let's check my math, 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 then I am correct, aren't I, he committed to 3 schools? Quitting over a coaching change makes me suspicious. And not only is your math questionable, but your geography seems to be severely challenged. If his father grew up in NE PA but lives in FL, then Youngstown would not be my idea of playing close to his home. Rutgers is much closer to where his father used to be?!??!?
Physically issues were documented on the YSU website. You might want to look.

Yes he was committed to 2 schools prior to YSU. No one questioned that. Not sure why that's a big deal. Also him leaving Rutgers because of a coaching change is not a big deal, he obviously didn't like the new staff, so why stay.
As far as geography is concerned. Yes Rutgers is closer to YSU. But his mothers family is in Ohio, which you conveniently ignored to prove your point. Playing at YSU is closer to his fathers family then playing at San Diego State or USF isn't it.
As far as physical issues go. It says he was hurt during his Senior Season in High School. Nothing since and doesn't say what it was. It could have been nothing more than a bad hamstring pull.
Why don't you go look at his tackles during Rutgers Spring game last spring. Before you pass judgement on him. A little research never hurt anyone and you might not sound so foolish.
My point on taking 20 kids like was for taking a kid who had multiple D1 offers, Team Captain of multiple All American teams. Graduated High School early. All Star player. Never read anything bad about the kid. Not that he is a transfer, but you spin it anyway you like

Go Guins must be a parent of some kid who's spot got taken by a transfer. Sour grapes it sounds like.
YSUGO:
To be successful we will need transfers. We are not like the Dakotas and the only show in town.

Well, you've never been more wrong that that guess! I just watch the players come in and go out without much contribution. Last transfer we had that worked out before Moss was Lamar Mady but he came in with 4 transfers and he was the only one that contributed.
The other thing about these guys is they almost always have only 2 years and it takes one to learn the system etc. LOOK THEM UP, the facts support my position, not the "we need transfers because we have competition for plays etc. excuse making. Good Grief, Ohio has 11,000,000 MORE people than ND. They might be the only game in town, but it isn't much of a town!
