Was the best middle schooler I’ve ever seen play lacrosse, but that was many years ago. He’s probably going to need a full year of development to see if he can recapture the potential he had, but he was at one time the top rated lax player in his class.
How long do you think it will take him to detox all the deer antler spray and HGH laced grits he had while at Bama?

Taylor Kelly is a football terrorist. Changing Buchner’s delivery completely ruined his entire football career.
If anybody tries to change someone’s delivery despite the success they’ve had, fire them on the spot. Phil Rivers has a good career with an unorthodox delivery. Lamar Jackson is doing just fine.

I love this for Tyler. I hope he can regain his prior LAX form and help propel the ND forward. It'd be a great story and we'll all be rooting for him. Seems like a genuinely good guy who has found the best 'fit' for himself.

This might be a dumb question, but how is he immediately eligible for lax?

He used his 1x transfer to go to Bama...

Does that only apply if it's the same sport?

I gather that he's probably not planning on rejoining the football team, but if he did, my understanding is that his scholly would have to count against the football team's, not the lacrosse team. It's the big money sport that has to count it, IIRC, so that sports like FB & BB can't get extra players by counting their scholly against other sports. Is that correct?

Best wishes to the kid. Glad to have had him for the season at Bama and he seems like a good young man. I wish him well in his return to ND.

Correct, but it would only count against football if he were to get into a game. But, to your first point, I agree, I don’t believe he’s going to play both sports.

O'Malley posted Buchner got a cool million from Bama to transfer there. What a boondoggle.
If this is even partially true then major props to Buchner. What a fucking coup. Go to Bama for a semester where you weren't going to play at ND --> get a million bucks --> transfer back to ND for your degree, maybe get a natty in football before you leave --> play on a top 5 lax team and maybe get a second ring. Chad moves.

I pray that Rees and Buchner had this shit planned out all along. This would be freaking amazing.

This whole sequence never made sense to me - BUT if this was the plan...Wowzers
