December 9, 20187 yr Author 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. By dinacolunga@alwayscompete  Dec 9, 2018, 12:48pm PST SHARE  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.

December 12, 20187 yr Author 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)."  Â
December 12, 20187 yr SMU starting QB for the past 3 years is transferring. Hicks. Maybe Morris goes after him.
December 12, 20187 yr 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. Edited December 12, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
December 12, 20187 yr 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.

December 12, 20187 yr 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.

December 12, 20187 yr 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.
December 12, 20187 yr 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. Â
December 12, 20187 yr 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.
December 13, 20187 yr Bama' OL who played in 6 games this year. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/alabama/Article/Alabama-Football-OL-Richie-Petitbon-plans-to-transfer-after-season-126256725/Amp/

December 13, 20187 yr Give me both the Arizona and Bama guards, and we're set on the interior with only a tackle spot to figure out.
December 13, 20187 yr 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.

December 13, 20187 yr 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.

December 13, 20187 yr 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.
December 14, 20187 yr 1 whole fumble lost isn't a worthy statistic, fewer than Herman favorite and far less talented/dynamic Daniel Young
December 14, 20187 yr Just now, pacman said: 1 whole fumble lost isn't a worthy statistic, fewer than Herman favorite and far less talented/dynamic Daniel Young 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.

December 14, 20187 yr 24 minutes ago, Machinator said: I don't think the fumbles are the whole story. 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.

December 14, 20187 yr Author From Machinator...... Here's the link to the grad transfer tracker: https://gradtransfertracker.com/potential-transfers-2019/
December 14, 20187 yr 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.  Edited December 14, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
December 14, 20187 yr Author 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."

December 14, 20187 yr Here is a bit of film I put together on James Gilbert vs Notre Dame. He finished with 78 yards rushing. Â 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.

December 15, 20187 yr 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.Â

December 15, 20187 yr Just now, LTtxfan said: Guess they lose the right for a different Redshirt year if they play in the Bowl Game...... 2018 counts as their Redshirt 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.Â
