Another WR spot opened up for Bru at USC.....

Sophomore wide receiver Randal Grimes to transfer from USC

On Friday, second year receiver Randal Grimes announced via Twitter that he would be transferring from the USC football program.

 Grimes is the third Trojan to transfer in 2018, after Ykili Ross, Je’Quari Godfrey, and Bubba Bolden. A sophomore wide receiver, Grimes served as a backup in 2017 and 2018. He played in six total games, which burned his opportunity at a redshirt last year. Grimes missed a portion of spring camp this season to focus his attention to academics, and missed a few in-season practices for reasons never announced.

Hailing from Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 6-foot-5 Grimes was a three-star athlete with offers from schools such as BYU, Cal, Nebraska, and UNLV. He was the No. 7 recruit in the state of Nevada and the No. 23 athlete in the class of 2017. Though he has yet to comment on which schools are on his short list, it is likely he may chose his hometown team the UNLV Rebels.

RB Derrick Clark will be graduate-transferring after finishing his degree in the spring. In the 2018 season, Clark rushed twice for six yards; his most productive year as a Bear was 2017, when he ran the ball 14 times for 46 yards

RB Biaggio Ali Walsh to transfer from Cal

Interesting no mention of Texas here...... Auburn TE Jalen Harris transferring.  Obviously  Coach Hand is familiar with this player.

https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/12/12/auburn-transfer-te-jalen-harris-lists-georgia-colorado-among-five-potential-landing-spots/

"In mid-September, Harris announced that he would be transferring from Auburn.  On Twitter Tuesday, the tight end revealed his list of five finalists that will serve as possible transfer destinations, including a pair of SEC schools in Georgia and Vanderbilt.

The other three schools include a pair of Power Five programs (Colorado, Kansas State) as well as one from the Group of Five (Troy)."

SMU starting QB for the past 3 years is transferring.  Hicks.  Maybe Morris goes after him.

[Tex Pete 20430]

Ben Hicks is a tool. I imagine he will go to Arkansas.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Hand started following 

[Bevo 13596]

2017 all pac honorable mention

[Katfid54 8635]

Now we're talking

[JOSEYWALES66 1805]

He will probably be in pretty high demand.

[texasstrong12 4668]

There are a lot of grad transfer OL available. Justin Murphy just announced he's grad transferring from UCLA. 

Texas will land somebody if they are really searching for a grad transfer on the OL.

WTF.  Former Texas Tech and current UCLA OL Justin Murphy granted a 6th years of eligibility (Yay! we need linemen!) then immediately opts to grad transfer.  Fucker.

True but if there is scholarship room there's no risk with a 1 year rental. We just had a grad transfer RB that was effective this year coming off a major injury. 

[gordogg24p 344]

Definitely need to make a play for Eldridge. Give us some more time to work on the interior. Don't want to be sending Shack out there as the only guy with meaningful time on the interior.

Well the risk is that you'd possibly taking him over another 1 year rental.

Former Tech Lineman and transferring......  Wonder if Justin Murphy is considering going to North Carolina??

I am guessing all these 'new' names are why we passed on giving Kennedy an offer. You had to figure guys with better pedigree would come available.

[RabidM 2668]

I suspect Kennedy didn't match with his listed measurables. He looks like a nice play on film, but he does not like all that big.  

[Wishbone 4776]

It appears we may have a coaching staff that likes to do a thorough due diligence on potential prospects. I for one am at least encouraged by this.

[Elmer_Fudd 22313]

Bama' OL who played in 6 games this year.

Butler is non-scholarship. That means Kennedy would count towards the signing numbers.

[gordogg24p 344]

Give me both the Arizona and Bama guards, and we're set on the interior with only a tackle spot to figure out.

[Machinator 32099]

Our needs were much more dire last cycle, and we still only landed one grad transfer who was probably a slam dunk to come to Texas. I trust the staff to address the OL depth deficiency, but we need to be realistic in what is attainable.

"Realistic" is probably the last word I would use to describe the recruiting board.

[Elmer_Fudd 22313]

The articles on the Arizona and Bama' OL says they have connections/former coaches at other schools and that they likely will end up at those spots.

Petitbon is from the DC area. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes to Maryland.

[ckhorn 208]

I would really really like to see us get a good JC cornerback for next year or a grade transfer, in which I don't think you see many of those. This in my opinion our biggest need. The young guys are going to be good, just probably not next year.

You left off the number of fumbles, Anwar. 

[pacman 7369]

1 whole fumble lost isn't a worthy statistic, fewer than Herman favorite and far less talented/dynamic Daniel Young

[Hiphopopotamos 20876]

Just now, pacman said:

Carter:  2 fumbles on 53 carries. 

Young:  2 fumbles on 123 carries.

 

Also heard plenty of reports that Carter couldn't hold on to the ball in practice.

[Machinator 32099]

I don't think the fumbles are the whole story.

[LTtxfan 49331]

Add former Longhorn Mike Williams to this transfer thread since he left the Team??

Footwork King tweeted something about not bitching when you cant hold on to the ball and a freshman comes in and takes your job.this was supposed to be refering to Toenail. dude has been an attitude problem behind the scenes.

The fumbles are just a symptom of the rest of his issues.

From Machinator......

Here's the link to the grad transfer tracker: https://gradtransfertracker.com/potential-transfers-2019/

[texasstrong12 4668]

Almost everyone reported that Carter was a fumbling machine in practices. 

Is that the whole story for why he transferred? Who knows but it’s definitely why Herman had him sitting on the sidelines.

SIAP.... At least 2 possible Longhorns who could grad-transfer...

"Junior Kyle Porter elected to redshirt after playing in UT's first four games and hasn't dressed out for UT's last nine games, preserving two more years of eligibility in the likelihood he moves on as a graduate transfer. Porter came into this season with 118 carries for 436 yards (3.7 ypc) and four rushing TDs as well as seven receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown.  Tristian Houston, a fourth-year junior who is on pace to graduate in May after three career rushing attempts for 3 yards back in 2016."

Here is a bit of film I put together on James Gilbert vs Notre Dame. He finished with 78 yards rushing.

 

Althought the best defense he faced was NIU who is number 6 in the nation vs the run. He has 79 yards vs them averaging 4.2 yards per carry. His offensive line was hot garbage on the inside all year.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

[Skyline 325]

I wasn't aware this could be done. The bowl game is more than a year later from their transfer date, I assume. So they can play in the bowl, and still have two years of eligibility left.

Guess they lose the right for a different Redshirt year if they play in the Bowl Game...... 2018 counts as both their Redshirt year and transfer year??

You can redshirt and still play in 4 games. So even though they're transfers, that new rule (plus the 1 year rule for transfers) allows them to play and maintain the redshirt. 

Something neat to keep in mind if we ever get a transfer that has to sit for a year.
