No rush on Cincy. With their ridiculous loop hole because of their different academic calendar, he can play anywhere he wants for a game or two, transfer to Cincy, and be on the field for them a couple weeks later.
I forget all the specifics now, but they had a ND transfer at QB a few years back (Demetrius Jones) who started the season at ND and ended up playing at Cincy shortly thereafter. It was really obnoxious because it was around the same time we had that "stud" LB Jarell Miller who transferred to UCONN after he spent 1 day at UNC but somehow had to sit out an entire year, yet the player at ND was at ND for quite a while, actually played in a game for them in the beginning of the season, and was eligible immediately at Cincy. I remember the reason being given had something to do with a technicality because they had an unusual academic calender involving trimesters or some ridiculous reason like that.
And probably get a 6th or maybe 7th year of eligibility is he had shin splints.
Why would you wish he was looking at UConn?
I've had a few cocktails but don't think I'm too fargone to declare that I'm actually very happy with our current QB stable. We're well stocked in that cupboard for now.
My three wishes for the program are:
1.) Someone shows up this Spring and steps in enough throats to show usthat he is the next great University of Connecticut running back.
2.) Atleast one shutdown corner emerges to replace the two who we're about to lose to the NFL.
3.) Knappe becomes a beast.
My prediction is that Mr. Yawin Smallwood will become the well deserved "face" of the UConn defense.
Just imagine if we could add Ivan Drago to a reworked pass rush! We've got a lot of holes to fill headed into Spring practice but AK is my wildcard on D.
