I was thinking the USC recruits could leave regardless of USC's approval, maybe the rising sophomores had that option too?

IMO, Jimbo Fisher is a pretty straight up guy and would be surprised if he would hold somebody back. I know Aaron might disagree with that and he would certainly know more than me. I just don't see what he gains by holding someone back. Rutgers is getting beat up for holding their QB transfer back.

Prestwood is a pretty smart kid, doesn't make much sense to me that he would want to transfer after a couple of weeks of classes. We'll see I guess.

I may be wrong, but I believe transfers (who are released) simply sit a year but are on scholarship and can practice. So it would make no difference. Transfers who are NOT released I believe have to pay their own way at any FBS school for a year or transfer to a lower level to receive a schollie, but can practice regardless. So in any scenario he would be allowed to practice but he would not be allowed to receive a schollie if not released... making the transfer very improbable if Jimbo decided to say "**** you Irish."

Then again, why would Jimbo want to "eat" a sholarship just to f**k the Irish anyway, who isn't on their schedule for future years? I would think that IF Prestwood wanted to decommit and go back to his original commitment and that team (ND) wasn't on F$U schedule for 3-4 yrs., then I would think Jimbo would want that opportunity to fill the void w/ another potential recruit. Not sure, just saying ....

Indeed a very good point. But there are a couple reasons why he would "eat" the scholarship though, those namely being that he assumes Prestwood isn't a quitter and will still work hard to be an impact player not sit and mope for 4 years. Think Bolden being blocked by Joe Pa... Joe Pa thought Bolden was making a dumb move and considers him a QB of the future so he won't let him transfer since his main concern is PT and he sees him getting a lot of PT as he develops more. In these cases the team is not "eating" a scholarship as the coaches expect the player to still bring their A game.

Anything and everything presented is pure speculation at this point. Let's all just wait and see what fireworks happen this week.

Jimbo wouldn't and wont burn "the Plant HS bridge" and deny Prestwood leaving to go to ND (or anywhere else). Prestwood may be on his way out of tallahassee...but it may be to a location other than South Bend.

Eric Hansen:
Ok, here's what we've learned about the Jordan Prestwood rumors. Bob Wieneke just talked to Prestwood's high school coach, Wayne Ward. For what it's worth, Ward says Prestwood is enrolled at Florida State and seems to be happy there.


Look's like it was just a rumor.

It is moderately interesting that neither Rivals nor Scout has him listed as having "signed" his LOI.
Click to expand...
It's not. LOI aren't needed it's just a device to protect students athletes of the promise that they get a scholarship that's binding. They aren't a necessity and there are other agreements that can be made it's just not binding and a coach/university can deny it at any point before enrollment. That's the downside of not signing the LOI the upside of not signing the LOI is that the player can leave without having to be released or have the restrictions of where they can and can't go as in the same conference.

To be honest I'm surprised the elite kids that don't have any academic issues still go the LOI route.

By the way once your on campus as an enrolled student your bound to that University so the LOI is worthless hence why Rivals and Scout don't have him signing as the LOI isn't needed.

Same goes for our 5 EE's no LOI needed.

Expouding a little, an LOI is simply a Letter of INTENT for the student to enroll and for the school to provide a scholarship in 5 or 6 months (or in the case of the SEC 10-12 months, if ever). The EE's ARE enrolled and are ON scholarhips.

I understand that which is why I put the word signed in quotes. All of our EEs are marked as having "signed" their LOIs (i.e. they went to class). I was just adding more speculation to an issue that seems to be just a rumor anyways.

Guys, even if there was any truth to this, the chances are it wouldn't go down until awhile after NSD once the numbers get worked out... and then even if we had a spot open it would be difficult... and by that time he would probably have made a bunch of friends at FSU and not want to leave. The probability of a transfer, even if there was some truth to the rumors, was always incredibly low.

He gone

He gone

No way he is leaving F.S.U. You know Fisher has him hooked up with some of those beautiful cowgirls the moment this rumor started. Hard to blame him those girls are smokin.
