And I've offered no personal opinion (other than I think Hendrix stays), only provided quotes from Hendrix (note that as far as I know, these are Hendrix's most recent comments on the topic of transferring). If people take his direct words and turn it into something it's not, there's nothing you can do about that.

Something you could do is not bring Hendrix up at all in this conversation. The comments you've pointed us to provide little to no support for the conclusion that Hendrix is transferring, unless you take isolated sentences out of the context of the whole interview. Bringing these comments up in this thread is likely to do more harm, by leading to the start of unfounded rumors that Hendrix is considering a transfer, than good, by contributing to a discussion about NCAA transfers.

It's already in this thread so there's nothing we can do about it now; I guess I'm just preaching. But kuehnja, since you are big on forum etiquette, I'll say that I think the best practice in the future is to avoid bringing up comments, like Hendrix's, which are likely to mislead and provide very little useful information.

Do you read? When has my conclusion been that Hendrix is transfering??? I've feverishly stated I do not think he will, I simply asked (because it's related to the thread title) if anyone had heard anything else on Hendrix since his pre-NC game comments. Then you said he's 'never hinted that he'd consider it' and so I posted his direct words, shooting down your claim. Lol at all of this, just relax.

And don't tell me I'm reading it wrong or that my question about Hendrix was unwarranted. It happened, he hinted that he'd consider it after the season, but it looks like he's not transfering. End of story, lol.

Gosh, I'm doing a poor job of making myself understood, but I think this is important so I'll persist. Whether you personally believe Hendrix is going to transfer is irrelevant. I don't care what you think. I care about an unfounded, runaway rumor about one of our players on this message board, and comments like the ones you made and relayed are the sort of comments that can start such rumors. Since you agree that Hendrix is unlikely to transfer, I don't know why you insist that it was important to bring up the fact that Hendrix had "made some vague comments that would lead some to believe he's considering" transferring. Your words:

Since his comments were so weak and vague as to be practically insignificant, as you practically admit, wouldn't it have been better not to bring this up at all? I think it would have. No chance of people taking his comments and misconstruing them. You seem to alternate between saying you don't think he's transferring and you think he might consider it, and I'm not sure which you believe, but it doesn't matter. The point is just that the comments were so insubstantial that the danger of starting a rumor outweighed the value of any information they may have provided.

No, because I wasn't sure if the question of him considering a transfer after the season had more to it, or if his pre-NC comments were the last we knew of it. I don't follow him on twitter, so I wanted to see if anyone learned anything since then.

I mean, it's his quotes. If people misconstruct quotes, so be it. They can think whatever they want, you and I aren't providing hear-say (at least as far as we can tell).

No, I do not think he will transfer. No, I never said 'I think he will consider it'. The latter is what Hendrix basically said, not me ;).

This is dumb and I have no hard feelings. I'm checking out of this one before you and I get nominated for the 'what grinds your gears' thread, lol.

I don't understand why Hendrix's name was brought up in the first place. He isn't transferring (at least not before he graduates) so what was the point?

Hey, didn't Hendrix make a vague comment that could lead one to believe that he may consider a transfer at some point? Not saying he will, but I think it was out there. I tell ya, that would really grind my gears but I don't think he will.

I think you are over-reacting a bit, on the transfer rumors thing. I know that some players, and other folks associated with the program, have occasionally mentioned reading some things here, but I doubt that the question about Hendrix, here in this thread, was going to cause Reuters to speculate about where Hendrix will land, after he transfers from ND. And there was plenty of clarification, from many others, to keep any rumors from gaining traction, IMO.

This thread is a good idea as long it's kept to actual transfers.

Why don't we start over with a new thread and let this one die?!

I don't see why there is a need to erase the Hendrix stuff. The possibility and speculation are both there.

I can't see it being a surprise if Hendrix would leave. He's quite probably #4 on the depth chart at the moment, and that depends on what happens when Zaire is up to speed. The kid has talent, but he's kind of buried right now and out of sight. Whether he decides to stay for the team and/or finish his degree at Notre Dame will be up to him, but I wouldn't be suprised nor would I fault him if he left before his undergraduate or at least after.

Losing Kiel will hurt the team. I think he would have beaten Golson for the starting job. I also think Hendrix was likely to transfer if Kiel stayed. I'm wondering what he was told by the coaching staff to cause this sudden turn of events. Big loss in my opinion.

I hate losing Keil, but his transfer should solidify the fact that he couldn't win the startin job. How can you think he could if Keil didn't even think he could? If he thought he could he would stay. I'm bummed but I'm not going to lose sleep over losing someone who wouldn't even invest in their own self over another competitor (golson).

Not slighting Kiel's ability, but theres no friggin' way he was going to unseat a 12-1 Golson this year as just a redshirt freshman. Thats a lot of experience and reps to make up when you've never taken a snap in college.

Does it hurt us that he's leaving? Yeah, depth wise, of course. To be honest though, Golson would need to take a couple steps backwards before Kiel would unseat him imo, and the likely scenario is that Kiel would be warming the bench or at best sharing reps until he's a senior. When you look at it that way we're not losing that much. If Golson goes down for an extended period of time that does present a problem, but I think we've got capable backups that can fill the void.

Crazy they had three passers all over 1,000 yards last year, two of them freshmen. Regardless of the system, I think that's pretty impressive.
