Russell wilson to transfer

When would he show up to start learning the offense? I don't know when minor league baseball ends, but if he doesn't have time to look over a playbook until August that could be an issue.

To make a correction, Russell Wilson has two years to play. He graduated in three years and used his redshirt the first year he was at NC State. What is up in the air, however, is whether or not he would use that last year of football eligibility. He was picked in the Major League Baseball draft and is playing in the Colorado Rockies organization presently.

my guess if he goes anywhere it will be south carolina. fb will be top ten this year if they can get a qb, and bringing him in allows sc to remain strong on garcia's suspension. baseball is a top three program and were national champs last year. i know he could not play baseball but the facilities that the gamecocks have built are better that most in the country.

Um, yes please! He remindes me a lot of Seneca Wallace. Undersized but great arm and mobility. I'd take him in a second!

However, it would be some kind of miracle if he came here. We didn't recruit him and as far as I know have no connection or relationship with the guy. I bet he stays out east.

Maybe we can get Bobby Lutz to put in a good word.

Hadn't thought of that. Release the Lutz!

If two years, then it sounds like a decent idea. For one year, it could go either way.

This is a no brainer, but we have no shot at this kid. He's older(after playing minor league ball) , mature and would have no problem picking up the offense. He's not like Masoli who got by on his athleticism, he's a very intelligent player but I see him going somewhere with more prestige.

I'd pass.
