Junior Adams officially new WR coach

[droop10]

In th age of transferring whenever you want, I don't fully see the value of having NLIs anymore.

What does an NLI even mean now? A kid can leave at any time and go anywhere, and play immediately. So all it does is lock in their scholarship? But gives the school no guarantee

Right. I should have clarified that I mean for the school. The student gets a benefit. In this case, I am unclear why Bernard would need to be 'let out of his NLI'. Can't he transfer like anyone else?

Good question STU.

He could transfer, but I believe what he would be giving up is the option to transfer again without sitting out a year. Too lazy to look it up, but I believe not needing to sit out only applies to the first transfer. Granted, you would hope he feels confident enough in Oregon to not be thinking about that, but I think that would be the main difference between being let out of the NLI and transferring.

There is an advantage for the school in getting an NLI. Other schools can no longer recruit the PSA. The student athlete is bound for at least one year. It’s binding both ways.

The new NCAA one time free transfer and the NLI are two separate things. The new NCAA rule is concerning NCAA eligibility, NLI is an independent voluntary program.

The only way to not lose a year of eligibility when transferring before one year is to be granted a release by the school. If Germie or any other potential 2022 NLI signees want to transfer and be eligible for 2022 they need to be released by their signed school. It’s a bad look if the school doesn’t release them. Oregon releases, Washington doesn’t. You are entitled to an appeal based on extenuating circumstances, which is usually denied.

Thanks for the added clarity, GDT.

He’s already gotten 4 crystal balls to Michigan State.

Why Michigan Stats? Was that his backup school? His recruiter was Junior Adams so you’d think he’d have more crystal balls to Oregon, maybe he feels the WR position is too crowded.

GASP!!!

Germie is afraid of competition???

If you noticed the crystal balls for him, most of the predictions to MSU are 6 or 7, which means they aren't very strong or sure picks.

NLI releases can be conditional, meaning you can say don’t go to a school we’re playing in the future or no release.

Washington wouldn’t release QB Ethan Garbers, and the appeal took months. Germie is looking to enroll somewhere by next week, so my guess would be that they told him they’ll grant a release if it’s not a Pac-12 school or upcoming opponent. Or Michigan State out recruited us for him, there’s a connection with their QB signee, or maybe he’s not happy with Junior Adams for leaving him in Seattle.
