Yeah, I think you are thinking about Simms. That was who I was thinking about as well, and remember Hubbs saying that he came after one because he was already able to graduate JUCO

But he was at Louisville first so he'd been taking 2 years of classes, so is that different than going straight to juco??

Was wondering that myself. Can't find any clear explanation anywhere.

After I posted I rembered it was not Simms, because he went to Louisville first. It was someone who went straight to Juco, because he did not have offer he wanted.

I actually I looked and it looks like it was Rivera who originally signed with Oregon, but went Juco and had three years to play here.

Well I guess there's the answer.

With that said could still be 2013, either way, someone to keep an eye on.

Coach Martin quoted as saying we had several highly regarded transfer prospects that wanted to come to UT but we simply had no scholarships available...I'm not convinced that CCM is from the camp of running off good people to make room for a bunch of talented transfers...now I'm sure if he could do it without creating a lot of bad feels etc...he would take one...just my thoughts on that...

Uhm not saying your wrong, but could you provide that quote? And could you enlighten me to who these "several highly regarded transfers" were?

I've never seen that, and seeing as how they recently offered a scholarship for the 2012 class that'd kind of refute that...

BTO there is an article on GoVolsXtra and Martin is quoted as saying that in the article. It was posted earlier today by Mike Strange. Yes Martin was quoted as saying that they have turned away several highly regarded transfers because they didn't have scholarships available.

This is all he says:

"There were several more who wanted to be a part of our program, some really good ones,'' Martin said, "but I didn't have any scholarships available.''

And that was in response to a question about last years team, so I'm not sure that he wasn't referring to last year, and not this year.

As I said, recent scholarships have been offered or were going to be for 2012, so that kind of refutes this.

QB Nick Lamaisson perhaps? Enrolled after one JUCO season when Kiffin was here.

Byron Moore & Mo Couch came from Juco and had 3 years of elgibility left, so obviously you are correct.

[germanicus]

Moore started off at USC. That first year of college counted was the equivalent of the first year of JUCO. Since he had red-shirted at USC, he still had three years to play 4 after JUCO. Couch was hurt and red-shirted his first year of JUCO, again leaving him 3 years to play 4 after JUCO.

And Rivera?

Yes, some players redshirt a year in JUCO, and save a year of eligibility for a D1 program.
