Osweiler transferring?!

Mathew81 · Jan 3, 2012

Some rumors that Brock is considering transferring.

Sorry to be vague and not sure it has legs but hearing some interesting rumors regarding ASU QB Brock Osweiler

Again, not sure if it has legs but heard from two fairly reliable sources so we'll see what if anything happens with it

Not sure he'll pull a Dayne Crist (graduated and able to play right away) and transfer but there are some intriguing schools very interested

I personally don't think he'll leave, but he and Mazzone had a close relationship and I'm sure he's pretty upset that ASU didn't retain him.

As a casual follower of ASU's football program, I think he's overrated. He seems to have terrible feet in the pocket and doesn't utilize his size well. I don't think it's going to be the end of the world if he walks.

I have felt this way as well, at least for the ASU offense. It seems RB Cameron Marshall was injured most of the season. The Sun Devils could have used a QB that was more prone to run to give them more of a run threat. Also another way to look at it, the Sun Devils needed more depth at RB.

I'm not sure how he's overrated since he's received few if any accolades. I think his feet are just OK (but not terrible), and when you're 6-foot-8 you have room to fudge.

If he leaves it just accelerates the move to the spread option, and I'm not really convinced any QB on the roster is suited for it at this level. Eubank ran this offense in high school but he's slower than Oz. I guess it would fall on Berc, who has good speed for a drop-back QB but is pretty slow for an option QB ... 4.7 40 type of guy.

Oz is one of the most athletic QBs ASU's ever had, and it always seems kind of counterintuitive to winning football to suggest a team needs more of a running QB to better the offense. ASU simply needed better execution across the board.

Oz is not transferring. He's pondering his NFL draft status, if only to get feedback on what he needs to work on.

I don't believe I suggested that Oz is not athletic. However, the Sun Devils needed more balance running the ball and a running QB could have provided more balance. The key point I was making, the Sun Devils needed a running attack this past season. Actually, solving the running game would allow a QB like Oz to run a balanced attack. Sadly it just wasn't there. QB is the least of the Sun Devils problems.

Isn't he a senior next year? Which means he'd run out of eligibility. he'd have to take next year off.

NCAA allows transfers to move on without losing a year as long as they:

- Have graduated
- Have eligibility left
- Are moving to a school with a masters program not offered at the previous school
- Will not have their scholarship renewed by the first university

If you transfer within the conference, NCAA requires the player to sit a year, regardless if they're graduated or eligible, correct?

No. The Pac conference rules require you to sit out a year in addition to whatever the NCAA requires. It's why it's two years for undergraduates to transfer within conference, and it still requires the first school to release them to that new school.

I went to ASU, so I might need someone to draw me a picture explaining what happens if Osweiler transfers...

ASU sports needs scorched earth anyway. 6-whatever with him 6-whatever without him.

The guy just set a school record for yardage and touchdowns for a first-year starter. I wouldn't lay this season at his feet.

Burfict, on the other hand, can't get out of Tempe fast enough for my taste. Locker room lawyer tainted the entire defense. Even G-Rob says so.

That was not my intention. But I don't think it would be the end of the world if he left.

If you believe as I do that Graham has MAYBE 2 seasons to produce better results, Oz leaving would really hurt. Two seasons of .500 or less ball and the entire administration is swept clean by the white-hot fury of fans who are still butt hurt over how this went down, and Graham is a lame duck coach waiting for a buyout regardless of what he does after this.

For the sake of the program, I hope Graham makes this work from the get-go. The program is fractured. I don't want to see thermonuclear meltdown.

If that is what it takes to get Love et al out of there...

I'm all for that, but I don't think the program can take any more hits. At this point it's hemorrhaging boosters. The cost of removing current administration could be long-term damage to the program's ability to rebuild.

If Graham has a bad 1st year, It's practically guaranteed that Lisa Love is out. Baseball, Football and Basketball have all regressed the past couple of years, and it's only getting worse. Would be nice to have a competent Athletic Department, but it is what it is...ASU is a laughing stock, and they could careless.

Most ppl saying Oz is declaring for the NFL tomorrow. Bad decision IMO, he still needs a lot of work...

He will be lucky to be a 5th round pick. He is nowhere near ready for the NFL.

Devils Digest @DevilsDigest
