That's definitely the case for juco transfers, so was he looking specifically at D1 transfers? Matt Hegarty did well after coming over from ND and Ajani Cornelius last year. Strother didn't break through, but that might be talent level, not adjustment. Those are just off the top of my head.buckmarkduck wrote: Sun Aug 18, 2024 2:23 pm Hyth made a case a couple months ago for RS him. Says the data proves no transfer OL is very good year 1. If Strothers steps up, we might not need him to return this year.
Yeah, he specifically said transfers OL never grade out well year 1. While I question his assessment. He watches an crazy amount of film, on tons of teams, not just UOStevensTechU wrote: Mon Aug 19, 2024 6:01 amThat's definitely the case for juco transfers, so was he looking specifically at D1 transfers?

He’s said it so many times over the last few years it’s become annoying. It’s not just Bedford as he’s specifically gone after USC every chance he has on the use of Oline transfers.OregonFan4Life wrote:I listened to that same podcast and I thought Hythloday’s point was more that Bedford, as talented as he is, had some bad technique due to poor OLine coaching at Indiana that Hythloday said will take longer than an offseason to fix so redshirt him so he can take more time to refine his skills. It wasn’t just a case of OLineman don’t transfer well.

Gotcha, I wasn’t aware of that. I don’t listen to Hythloday too much as his arrogance annoys me, I usually only listen to him when he’s on QB11 which happened to be when he suggested redshirting Bedford.webfoots2001 wrote: Mon Aug 19, 2024 10:35 amHe’s said it so many times over the last few years it’s become annoying.
