Diaz-Freire going to his 4th school. Joining LSU after 1 year at Alabama.
Feel like this type of stuff shouldn’t be allowed.

So much transfer flopping around it certainly doesn't feel right. Athlete transfers were already high before Covid. The new Covid NCAA rules make it seem out of control. I know a basketball player that played two years at USM, last year at Tulane, now he's at Jackson St. Yeah he has every right to do so. Sends a strange message to kids from my perspective.Diaz-Freire going to his 4th school. Joining LSU after 1 year at Alabama.

Allow athletes to transfer without sitting a year is a great idea. They should be allowed to do that and have every right to do so. Not strange at all if you ask me. You have non student athlete transferring between schools all the times.
Coaches are also jumping around for better jobs with higher pay and no one says anything. Such hypocrisy...
I actually said student athlete transfer rates were high and seemed out of control, also that the player in question in my example has every right to transfer.Allow athletes to transfer without sitting a year is a great idea.

There is another player in a Parsa Bombs tweet who is on his 4th college:Díaz-Freire went from LMU to Clemson to Alabama to LSU. How many regular students are going to 4 schools in 6 years in 4 states? Student athletes get to do this because of the scholarship and place on the team. Also I believe the transfer rule is for 1 time free transfer. So I actually don’t know how a player can go to 4 schools.
Scholarships are one-year agreements, I believe. Taking them away too often can damage recruiting, though.I agree athletes should be allowed to transfer without any penalty. Much like coaches can change jobs without penalty. However, I would recommend since coaches can also be let go and fired without penalty then athletes should have their scholarships cut or taken away by coaches for poor performance. Might as well teach them how the real world works, not this hey parents I got a scholarship now I get to keep this for 4 years even if I'm not good, but if I get better then I can go to a better school.
Clemson chooses to be the #3 seed in Waco. Glad to see them chose to participate m. I was worried they may pass. Little stale to play ACC foe Miami in round 1 but exciting to go a new locale. I might’ve chose the #4 in Fort Worth instead or #4 at USC (with the budget allowing).
No easy choices there. Like you good to see them venturing out. Baylor looks to be loading up with transfers.Clemson chooses to be the #3 seed in Waco. Glad to see them chose to participate m.

Some teams look like they are getting overloaded. Something tells me the transfer portal will get a lot of action this fall and rosters continue to change in the spring of 22.shocking![]()

Whats the issue with transfers? Gators won a national title with the help of transfers. We had 2 transfers in our lineup (1 singles 1 doubles) and we had another graduate student playing. Next year we add a 23 year graduate transfer from Michigan who should be a big help. Transfers and grad guys are very common these days, almost all the top teams are doing this now.
Not really sure what your point is here.
Oh Mikey Mikey, you're a funny man, you think you're so smart insulating people on a message board. Ok I'll play that game.
At Florida we have corned the marked on getting top 30 ITF guys/top 5 tennis recruiting guys. Is that shaddy? Nope, we just try to get the best guys we can get. I'm sure Baylor would take pre college Futures winner Sam R or #1 tennis recruiting Lukas G or #10 Vale but Baylor probably cant get those guys so they get grad transfer guys so they can compete. At Florida, much like at Duke, we have every advantage you can think of. It's crazy to think this was our first NCAA final, its so easy to win at Florida its crazy. To win at Baylor not so much, so how can you blame them for getting grad guys.
Ok, here is you calling me personally dumb:
"it’s not a hard point to grasp, so if you haven’t gotten it by now there’s really no need to keep pointing out that you’re dumb by equating UF’s lineup with Baylor’s lineup"
I didn't study English so feel free to explain how you are not calling me dumb.
I prefer to see a challenge tennis match, could be handicapped if there's a wide skill imbalance. We could also play doubles, Bob and Jerry vs. Mike and I. JLyon could referee and if needed sub in. Schedule this before a UF match, then tailgate before the match, laugh a little and get along.
If they are stupid, they think their degrees prove they are not stupid.Why do people always bring up their degrees in tennis arguments on this forum?
Yeah that whole thing kinda spiraled down. Shouldn't be a big deal. I'm a Kansas St. and Memphis fan, have a few hours on my transcript from each, not my alma mater. I claim them both as favorites. Like Ole Miss too, only ties there are friends and family that went there. It's all nothing to get offensive about for sure.i’m down - in theory jerry and I ought to be on the same side on this forum, but someone had to start policing whether I’m allowed to be a UF fan and whether I’m allowed to point out that Baylor goes nuts in the transfer market, and unfortunately I rarely pass up an opportunity to throw a few barbs back at someone coming at me, personality flaw
I think we need two spin-off threads. The first would be devoted exclusively to discussing whether mikej is allowed to root for Florida. The second would be to discuss whether you are a true Florida fan if you have been rooting for them for fewer years than jerryjones has.I prefer to see a challenge tennis match, could be handicapped if there's a wide skill imbalance.

I am not committing to reading either thread, just hoping to sequester those two topics in threads that I don't read.
I am like the DVR feature on an internet streaming service. You get lots of chances to view something before it ages out.Clark you just bumped a dumb argument from JUNE 2021 - there might have been some internet yellow cards handed out for that series of posts, but giving it life seven months later is a straight red
This is where it got good!correct I called you dumb
Lineup predications for this year?
Thanks for the update!I went to the North Florida match yesterday. And to answer the question about Dica, he has a huge scar on his right knee and was icing it and walking around in a full leg brace. So safe to say he will not be available this year which means the NCAA tournament is not likely this year again.
