I am too, but there are some serious questions I have about him.

He's gotta end up at an FCS school or a DII school, no FBS school will touch him.

Re: Wegher released from Iowa scholarship

I wonder if he either thought they would apply and try to get the 1 year wait period waved or if he just looked at the roster and saw no playing time after sitting a year. Everyone that looked at the situation didn't think OU was a good fit.

The Sioux City Journal newspaper adds to the report that Weagher was academically ineligible. LINK (I caught this link on the 'Yote's board.)

EDIT: JOE BOO MAKES A GOOD POINT THREE POSTS BELOW: THE NEWSPAPER SAID "TRANSFER INELIGIBLE" WHICH SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS NOT A QUESTION OF ACADEMIC INELIGIBILITY.

You gotta be careful about what you "catch" on the Oats board. My parents used to warn me not to catch anything when I went to Vermillion. LOL!

it said the transfer was ineligible. Does that mean he was academically ineligible or does that mean that they thought he could play right away and not sit out?

The reason I ask is because I thought right away when I saw him transfer to another FBS school was that they would try to get a waiver for the 1 year wait period because he didn't play a down this year and was not part of the team.

Re: Wegher released from Iowa scholarship

Joe Boo is correct: the news report in the Sioux City journal referred to "transfer ineligible". I don't know exactly what that may mean but it appears it may not have anything to do with academic eligibility.

I'm in the camp with others who have posted: I like talent. Wegher had an excellent freshman year at Iowa. If he ended up wearing Blue and Yellow like his father, that'd be fine in my book.

If he can figure things out in the classroom and off the field. he would be a great addition. otherwise he would just be a train wreck.

Not because you are a lawyer, but I agree with a big ditto.

Anyone else think that this young man is looking for a bigger stage than any FCS school may provide?

yeah but he has to find a stage to play on first. And after sitting out a year, he'd probably like to play, and won't be able to play for another year at the big stage.

Re: Wegher released from Iowa scholarship

If he were looking for a bigger stage, I don't think it gets much bigger than Oklahoma.

Interesting information about Wegher from Mick Garry.

He would have sit out next year if he transfers to a FCS school as well.
