Issiah Walker

[Southside Cane]

I think it's a good idea gives Walker a chance to develop physical and get everything mentally straight as possible. Not all on board with taking him tho but if so he needed to be forced to sit

Ivins said Miami is confident he gets a waiver to play this year. Im in the boat all OL need to redshirt anyway and I think that is what is best. Its not like he was going to play at Florida this year anyway.

 

[A1cane]

I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to play no? Wasn’t Joe Burrow counted forward?

Burrow was a grad transfer. I'm hoping miami doesn't let him see the field he needs to get his **** together and forcing a playbook and all the things that come with it aren't gonna be good for him

I mean the reason he should redshirt is completely different from the rest of the kids but yeah. Got a feeling Donaldson most likely redshirts too. Miami would make a mistake if he sees any playing time what so ever this year I'm talking even games that are well in the books. Let him focus on getting in shape and getting his mind right nothing more nothing less

Of course not right away but I theorized that Williams can probably play LT so if our RT play is average or sub par then he can play later in the year and still keep his redshirt. That’s if Williams plays LT which we don’t know.

 

[Zbrod95]

I honestly think Williams should come here as a LT and Walker can probably come in later to play RT while keeping the RS if we struggle.

He definitely should get a waiver. The pandemic will be the reason for all approved waivers.

He should just talk about how easily the virus spreads in Gainesville since everyone has so much skin exposed due to the jorts, so much extra contact due to the long flowing mullets combined with no showers, and how nobody wears masks but are easily winded mouth breathers.

[BS85]

Does the scholarships Manny dished out to jags prevent Moise from getting in or does one have nothing to do with the other?

Not related. It's more about how many we can take this class, they were from previous classes.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Good ****. Lindouche for Walker is a trade I would do everyday of the week. Any idea if Walker would count towards 2020 or 2021? I hope he gets a waiver and can enroll in the summer.

Stop with this bullsh!te. If Walker enrolls for the fall, he can ONLY count for 2020. There is no such thing as counting forward for those who enroll in the fall.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I thought TOC said it wasnt possible.

I said that recruits have been told that there is one IC slot left for 2020. I also have ALWAYS said "unless Manny has a trick up his sleeve", which could be the appeal of the Asa Martin IC slot. We never got word of whether we could get that IC slot back, and the whole **** country has been shut down for 2 months.

If Manny has a second IC slot, and has not been transparent with anyone, then that's on him for misleading people, maybe he's just trying to pressure recruits to sign. But this nonsense that certain porsters invent, about using a 2021 slot for a 2020 fall enrollee, is just bullsh!te.

From what I have seen it’s been said he was going to compete for a starting spot at uf this year

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Ok time out here. Would someone with knowledge please tell us if we could take both Williams and Walker? Ivins says we could take both. Of course I don’t believe him so that’s why I’m asking someone here.

Ivins has also said that we only have one IC slot left:

So has Ivins changed his story in the last couple of days? Or did we get an IC slot back for the Asa Martin debacle?

On his latest podcast he talked about counting Walker or Williams (can’t remember which) forward.

Ivins and lake said they have one spot and can count walker forward. I have no idea if true, but thats what they said on the pod. No one knows lol

Ivins has never said there was more than one spot. He has always said the problem is there is only one spot. If the staff wants both, one has to get counted towards the next class.

He also NEVER said it was his opinion that Walker would get a waiver. He said he was told the STAFF believed Walker could probably get a waiver.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Ivins just said Miami is going to try and get both Williams and Walker in with counting Walker forward to the 2021 class.

Thoughts?

I don't care what Ivins said. Ivins can say we are going to take 5 more transfers and that doesn't make it true.

The rules are what they are. Someone has already posted the exact text of the NCAA rules, and there is no such thing as "counting forward" for a fall enrollee.

So maybe Walker sits out until January. That could work.

Or maybe we got the Asa Martin IC back. That could work.

Or maybe Manny was lying to everyone and we had 2 IC slots all along. That could work.

I just posted Ivins saying that we had one IC slot left. He said it on May 5.

The only way to count Walker for 2021 is if he enrolls in 2021 (spring).

The only way to count Walker for 2020 (assuming we get Williams too) is if we have a second IC that has not yet been disclosed.

Don't get mad at me, the only thing I have said with accuracy and consistency regarding this mess is that a Fall 2020 enrollee cannot count as a 2021 IC.

If, since May 5, Ivins has learned some new information about Walker waiting until spring to enroll, that's great. But until the NCAA changes the rules, a Fall 2020 enrollee cannot count towards the 2021-2022 year.

 

[DMoney]

I'm not sure Walker should play right away if he comes. He still needs to get stronger and may need time to adjust physically and mentally.

Don’t know if it’s true or it could be different rules but people in the thread was saying lsu counted burrow forward

Just admit you are wrong and move on

agreed. Our tackles will be some combo or Scaife/Nelson/rivers unless we get a transfer. I don’t see Walker with no training the last 3 months or this summer being ready come fall to take anyone’s spot.
