Any update on the IU RB transfer?

[Woodsa]

1. Can he play this season?
2. Will he play this game?


I think it would be humorous if James had a breakout season with a dominant performance in the Bucket game. 😁

Doubtful

 

[Purdue85]

YES...

Update:

According to the IU fans, when he was still at the football mega factory known as "IU Football", he was buried on the depth chart behind 3 walk on players, was not going to see the field, didn't want to compete, so he decided to transfer to Purdue where he'll play every down.

Those 3 walk-ons turned down scholarships offers from Alabama so theres that.

I would think since his transfer passed the deadline he would have to have some kind of hardship attached to it. I’m guessing he’ll probably have to wait till next year.

"Carr, a 6-foot, 215-pound senior, comes to IU following four seasons at USC where he never quite became a featured back."

Who else was an Alabama recruit?

 

[tenwest]

Sorry Pat, I was just piling on the “football mega factory” comment.

He transferred back out

I read the same thing in today's IU Star, but their story/5 part miniseries when the guy came to IU, was praised far & wide as earthshattering & ground breaking journalism. When Robin Miller wrote there, they still had some integrity & (some) objective criticism toward IU & Purdue. Now, they just print what makes the IU base come back for more/IU fluff.

The root of all evil

$$$, $$$, $$$

 

[purduepat1969]

He transferred back out

Are you saying he's no longer with Purdue?

 

[Hausta01]

He transferred back out

Overtime elite signed him, I bet

 

[gbmhoosier]

YES...

Rent free

But most importantly, is Spegal going to get playing time?

You sound smitten with Rev Coach Leo and the Love Machine.

Are you part of cfb that 'fell in love' with the Rev and his love nest in 2020, according to Hack Ostermann of the IU Star?

 

[BBG]

Rent free

Says the loosier on a PURDUE forum.

 

[Kern County]

But most importantly, is Spegal going to get playing time?

Spegal will start at RB, DT, PK and will prepare and serve the pre-game meal (following RevCoach LEO’s 38 minute blessing).

 

[Purdue85]

But most importantly, is Spegal going to get playing time?

He'll start. 2k+ yard rusher. Set B1G then NCAA records. All American. #1 draft pick. Super Bowl rings every year. They'll re-name New Pal to Spegalburg.

EDIT: Bizarre day. Did not see the prior response to bone's post...

He doesn’t like football anymore.. he just wants to be a janitor at Harvard and solve math problems in anonymity.. leave him alone

 

[SIBoiler2]

What more could he ask for? Harvard just named an atheist as campus chaplain so a confused RB turned janitorial mathematician would fit right in.

 

[MilwaukeeBoilerFan]

All kidding aside, any new development with Sampson James?

 

[Matt Tiger]

Not that I know of.

no

no

beginning to think Purdue will never see him after this season.

 

[nat100]

He is up against it. If he were to leave, again, he would need to sit out again or drop down a level.

He had to have known this was a likelihood.

That is wicked smart. Or is it smaat?

I found out it’s bad to get out of your car there and just be like “aaaaaaaaaaa!” To people walking by 😂😂😂

He can still play in 4 games and still redshirt right?

 

[Hausta01]

Already redshirted his freshman year, I believe

 

[Evergr8ful]

No. According to his IU profile, he "played in all 13 games, with two starts" during his freshman year. He also played in 2020 -- but that was a "freebee" year -- so by my unqualified understanding he should have 3 years of eligibility left, and could redshirt this season if he doesn't play in more than 4 games.

https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/football/roster/sampson-james/14590

Note that the GBI article on his transfer it said, "He should have two seasons of eligibility remaining, though such things are a moving target nowadays post-COVID."

[Hausta01]

No. According to his IU profile, he "played in all 13 games, starting 2" during his freshman year. 2020 was the "freebie" year, so he should have 3 years of eligibility left, and could redshirt this season if he doesn't play in more than 4 games. IIRC, of course.

https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/football/roster/sampson-james/14590

Oh ok, just assumed he redshirted. His stats were pretty bad for playing all 13 games

 

[Evergr8ful]

cut-and-pasted from his freshman bio on the IU site, "...in his first start, posted 118 yards on 22 carries (5.4 average) with one score in the win at Purdue."

I'd take the production from a first time starter

 

[HoosierTim]

James played in 10 games as a true freshman therefore isn’t eligible to apply a redshirt. Last year was a free year. James is a junior academically/sophomore eligibility. He has 3 years of eligibility remaining. Old rule is that you got 5 years to play 4, unless a medical redshirt was granted (6th year senior). I would imagine if James doesn’t receive a waiver, he would have to use his redshirt to preserve a year of eligibility since his clock has started. In the event he does transfer to another D1 school he would have to sit out a year as the free transfer waiver can only be applied once. If James wants to remain a D1 player, he needs to stick it out at Purdue or get some major leniency from the NCAA.

EDIT: as I re-read this, if the NCAA doesn’t grant an immediate waiver this year he could theoretically use this transfer as a sit out year and still be able to apply for the one time waiver next year so long as he files his paperwork by the due date.

I can barely make heads and tails of what you wrote, but I think I get the gist of it.

James still has a redshirt year. What happened as a FR is irrelevant. He still can apply a RS.

Last year does not count toward his eligibility. At all. He's not alone... all student athletes played 2020/21 without it affecting his/her eligibility.

So.... his FR year counts as one year of eligibility. Last year does not. This year... he can play OR he can be deemed ineligible to play. Regardless, he will STILL have 3 years to play.

Correct.

That’s what I said.

“Junior academically/sophomore eligibility”.

If he doesn’t get a waiver this year, he still has the ability to transfer one time without penalty.

right.
His "true freshman" year has nothing to do with redshirting.

I know.

I was replying to Hausta01 (who I forgot to quote) who assumed he redshirted as a freshman. He played 10 games and therefore isn't allowed to apply for a redshirt for his true freshman year.

got that. It wasn't worded that clearly, thus the clarification.
