Grad transfer after 3 years of college....impressive

im not trying to trash the kid, but most CFB players can graduate in 3 years. especially if they enroll early.
120 credits to graduate


summer before freshman year 6-12 credits depending on whether they enroll before summer A or B
15 credits per semester x6 for 90 credits
12 credits summer between freshman and sophomore
12 credits summer between sophomore and junior year.

that gets you to 120+ credits after 3 years.

You forgetting the part when you have the full time job as a football player, not to mention other obligations

i never said what they do isn't impressive overall. all I was saying is that he isn't much different than most other CFB players.

This. Not many football players do this, which is the impressive thing. There's always a negative **** that comes along.

It's 20 hours a week. That's a part-time job. What are the other obligations?

Think it’s morevthan that. 20 is the official limit to work with coaches. These guys put in more by themselves. Probably closer to 30 hours for kids at the U

From a Tennessee fan on another site:

"He's good, possibly really good. We all wanted him to come back for his last season under different coaching but Jones f*cked it up too much with Boulware. Good get Canes."

Don’t know much about this guy. Is he an instant starter? Position?

So still a part-time job. What are the other obligations?

 

[mjarv21]

read that he quit UT back in Oct. anybody know the backstory other than UT is a dumpster fire

"Boulware, a player the Vols had to fend off Ohio State to hold onto in the run-up to signing day in 2015, redshirted his first year at Tennessee before starting three games at guard during the 2016 season, though he might have started a fourth had he not been ruled academically ineligible for the Music City Bowl.

Heading into the 2017, Boulware and Jack Jones were locked in a tight competition for the starting left guard spot. Jones won the battle in preseason and started the first three games before a poor showing at Florida prompted Boulware to replace him in the starting lineup against UMass.

However, Boulware did not play the following week against Georgia and announced his transfer just days later."

Even if he's just a depth guy he should play immediately and has 2 years of eligibility remaining. Any way you slice it, this is a good thing.

 

[AustinCane6688]

Apparently was considering UGA and Ohio St. as well

You clearly don't understand how those 20 hours are calculated. I was an NCAA athlete, it's a full time job and then some.

here is where you are wrong. what I posted is the standard plan for most CFB players.

Cry me a river.

The benefits far, FAR outweigh the costs.

And of the many college athletes I know and talk with, 99% of them think it's great and wouldn't trade it. I also bet that 99% of the couch potatoes on this board would trade their college experience for that of an athlete.

Grad transfer after 3 years of college....impressive

I just noticed this too. Looked him up and he is a redshirt SOPH. Meaning he has 2 years left. Impressive he graduated in 3 years, must be a smart kid.

I couldn't gather much stats on him. Hopefully he can contribute. Hard to get excited about guys like this. I was optimistic about Joe Brown and so far nothing. Doesn't mean it wont pan out but I just cant be excited until it does. Lets hope this guy is a plug and play guy, and contributes because that would be massive.

Online is the most unit oriented position on team. Hard to just walk in from somewhere else, but thi kid seems smart. That is important for lone and can help a lot

Joe Brown has been gone.

Wait, what? Isn't that the guy that transferred from LSU to us within the last 12 months?

That's George Brown

Joe, George... He BROWNer than a mu****a too.

that gets you to 120+ credits after 3 years without being an EE.

this is the standard plan for most CFB players. you have some kids who need more help to keep up who only take 12 credits per semester but most kids have done enough to graduate by their 3rd year. that's why berrios was taking 2 classes per semester his senior year because he had already done more than enough to graduate but needed to be taking 6 credits to stay eligible to play.

That must be why so many early entries to the draft have degrees. General population in college today doesn’t graduate in three years, or four for that matter, so let’s not dismiss this as something as easy as running the numbers on credits. I received my Doctorate six years out of high school. No problem in theory, even working 40 hrs a week like I did, but gets a little hard in real world where eating and sleeping want some time. Wish any of mine had done it three years. I could take that extra money to the casino.

Is this true? That is AWESOME!!!

Great pick-up.

 

[bcane25]

Of course most athletes wouldn't trade their experience for anything, but what does this have to do with your argument about D1 athletes only spending 20 hours a week on their sport? You're way off base here Morrisey.

You clearly don't understand how those 20 hours are calculated. I was an NCAA athlete, it's a full time job and then some.
