Cam Wiley

[denguegopher]

Was at a fast food place today and the young man behind the counter notices my Gophers hat and asks me if I like that team. His best friend is Cam Wiley. He reported that Cam is doing well in Akron and left Minnesota because he thought that he would have a better shot at the NFL if he could get more playing time somewhere else. The kid could not say enough good things about his friend. Hope that it works out for Cam.

Nice to hear. And I also hope nothing but the best for him.

But on a lighter side, I do have to say one thing. Only joking and in fun.

Oooops. I'll learn to proofread eventually.

Haha. It's just funny.

Quite the gamble...there's always a chance no one takes him and his career is over. I'd have stayed put.

Was he not starting at Akron? Or was his playing time being cut or limited for 2023? So this will be his SECOND transfer in two years? Yes, quite the gamble.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

does the NCAA still exist?

are any rules still being enforced?

I am fine with the "one free transfer" rule. But that should be it. If a player wants to transfer a 2nd time, he or she should sit out a year unless there are extraordinary circumstances - on the level of a death in the family or a medical emergency.

I think Grad Transfer still gives immediate eligibility on top of the one-free.

Assume he will graduate this spring from Akron.
