Tee Shepard already bounced from ND and is back in Fresno.... Love it

That would be 6-8 305lbs Taylor Lewan (front) and 6-6 300lbs Graham Glasgow (rear) on a tandem bike... Yikes.
 
I just find it hard to believe how he gets approved and dozens of other athletes get denied for much dire situations.

Also, Tee Shepard out at Notre Dame. Edit: already posted.
 
Oh ok. Welp, the ******edness of the NCAA strikes again w/ Carlisle

[h1]Hokies Have a New Look Secondary this Spring[/h1]

Andy Bitter caught up with Torrian Gray who dropped some knowledge regarding the starting secondary this spring, a move "that gives us our best four."

Antone Exum will move from rover to corner. That's a bit of a shock to me. In my mind, Exum staying at rover was the one given in the defensive backfield. Bud Foster had confirmed as much back in February.
"At the safety spot when we looked at our cut-ups, when 'Tone was just able to go out and play, he was unbelievable," Gray said. "When things moved around for him, sometimes it slowed him down. We just want to kind of see if he can do it, 'Hey, you're out here on No. 1 and just play ball.'

"We think it's something worth looking into to see what he can give us out there."


"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo." -- Morpheus

Most of the time speed determines where DBs are slotted in the secondary, faster guys at corner, slower guys at rover and free. During winter testing Exum ran a 4.39 40 (and yes I know that's #BEAMERBALLTIME, but it's relative to the team). I wonder if that number factored into the decision to move him. He'll be a force playing up against the run too. Jayron played at 5-10 171, Exum is 6-0 220 with a thick shoulder.

Kyle Fuller is penciled in at the other corners spot while Detrick Bonner and Kyshoen Jarrett move to "safety" for the start of spring ball.
"Those are the type of free safety guys that we like," Gray said. "You'd kind of like a corner ability-wise but has the physicality to play safety. Eddie Whitley came in as a cornerback. Kam Chancellor came in, he was a cornerback initially. Those are the type of safeties you want — corner-type safeties."


Gray also mentioned he wants Bonner and Jarrett to be "interchangeable". That's how he prepared Eddie Whitley and Exum last season. Rooted in Foster's eight-man fronts, I still think of the rover as the counterpart to Whip, a linebacker playing defensive back, different from free safety. Schematically that may still be true, but if we're fortunate enough to have players with a versatile skill set that can learn both positions and be on the field at the same time, that will allow Bud to tip his hand less and be more creative.

One caveat, it's spring practice, a time where the coaches like to get creative, so there isn't a big disadvantage for trying new things.

Word is Nuke Hopkins is up to like 215 lbs and is looking like an animal beast for Clemson. Him and Sammy were already nice last year
 
[h2]The Year in Review: Florida (7-6, 3-5)[/h2][h4]By Paul Myerberg   //   Mar 12, 2012[/h4]

Taking stock of Florida’s offense in two points:

1. The Gators went 5-3 when holding opponent to 21 points or less. From 1990, Steve Spurrier’s first season, through 2010, Urban Meyer’s last, Florida lost only six games when allowing 21 points or less. Only one of those losses came under Spurrier. In 1998, the Gators lost to Tennessee, 20-17, in overtime. Another two came under Ron Zook: 17-14 to Mississippi in 2002 and 20-17 to the Rebels a year later. There would have been more, but Zook was relieved of his duties after the 2004 season.

Another three came during Meyer’s wildly successful stint in Gainesville, believe it or not. During Meyer’s debut season, in 2005, Florida gained only 206 yards of offense in a 21-17 loss to L.S.U. in Baton Rouge. In 2007, Wes Byrum’s last-second field goal gave the Tigers a 20-17 win in Gainesville. In 2010, the Gators hit rock bottom in a 10-7 home loss to Mississippi State.

Each of Florida’s three such defeats in 2011 was uglier than the last. Auburn, which couldn’t stop anyone all season, held the Gators to 194 yards of offense and forced three turnovers in a 17-6 win. South Carolina’s 17-12 win in November was the program’s second straight in the once one-sided series. The defense held Florida State to 95 yards of offense; the offense, thanks to three turnovers, mounted only one scoring drive.

2. The Gators ranked 111th nationally in third down conversions. Florida converted on 51 of 159 tries, a success rate of 32.1 percent. That sandwiched the offense right between two-win Mississippi, at 110th, and one-win New Mexico, at 112th. Conversely, Florida ranked second in the F.B.S. in third down defense; only Alabama did it better.

Only twice, in wins over Florida Atlantic and Ohio State, did the Gators convert at least 50 percent of their chances on third down. Florida converted a total of 15 third downs in its six losses. That’s out of 75 tries — a success rate of 20 percent. The low point came against the Seminoles, when the Gators were 2 of 15 on third down.

For a sample size of ineptitude, see how Florida fared on third down over its final four games of SEC play — against Auburn, Georgia, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. The Gators went a combined 13 of 48 on third down over these four games, with six of those conversions coming in the lone win, over Vanderbilt.

Thirty-five failed conversions. Sixteen via incomplete passes: two against Auburn when needing five or less yards and one against Vanderbilt when needing two yards. Six on complete passes that didn’t net enough yardage: twice against Georgia on 3rd-goal from the 7. Five on sacks, with two each against Auburn and Georgia.

Eight on running plays that ended short of a first down. Consider this series: Florida takes over at the Georgia 45; Jeff Demps gains two yards on 1st-10; he adds six on 2nd-8; on 3rd-2, Florida gives it to Trey Burton, who is stuffed at the line of scrimmage; after two timeouts and a delay of game, Florida punts from its 42. This was Florida’s offense.

Like Ohio State, its opponent in the Gator Bowl, Florida’s roster was one of the youngest and least experienced in program history. Entering the season, Florida’s 148 returning starts — career starts among returning players — was the third-fewest in the SEC. The 37 returning starts on defense ranked last in the conference.

Florida’s depth chart at the end of the season featured 37 freshmen and sophomores, which tied the Gators with Tennessee for the most in the SEC. Florida played 51 first- and second-year players altogether, the second-highest total in program history; Meyer played 55 such underclassmen in 2007. Florida had nine scholarship seniors on the roster, the program’s third-fewest since 1951.

There are your excuses. Yes, youth certainly played a role in Florida’s struggles offensively. But why didn’t the defense suffer a similar decline? After all, the defense returned only 37 career starts heading into 2011; the offense, on the other hand, returned 111 career starts.

Can you blame Will Muschamp for hiring Charlie Weis? Don’t let hindsight cloud your judgment: On paper, Weis brought a strong track record of pro-style results on the N.F.L. and college ranks. “Philosophically, he and I are on the same page with what we want to do,

the issue is he had no basis for getting a waiver.

the reason was because his dad wanted him closer to home. O WORD!
And they denied Brandon Williams a waiver to A&M to be closer to his kid.

That's old!

Carlisle's waiver being approved, is anyone really surprised?

Apparently wanting to be closer to family because daddy got let go by an NFL team (49ers) and hired at Purdue is a hardship.

It's alright, when Jim Harbaugh got hired by the Niners, you know Daddy Carlisle's reaction:

Spoiler [+]
Amir Carlisle was a Stanford commit, he ended up decommiting and going to USC.  Pops lost his job, got a job at Purdue and transferred to be "closer to mom and dad".  I wish him the best, but his reason for transferring and this waiver being granted is total bs. "
