Fit is everything in college sports. Let's hope he finds his place here.

I Think He's A Fit Here. Upgrade from Ron Johnson.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Now we need a O line from the 09 era for this guy

 

[UConnDan97]

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Dave!!!

 

[Colt house75]

Also tells me........ there was a graduate school spot for him....
Boys... good to know that ........ SUZIE H. is on board big time- NO INTERFERENCE penalty out of admissions .... NICE !!!!!!

 

[huskypantz]

Wow. Like it - we just need a solid guy to complement Arkeel, he could be getting some strong PT with this move.

 

[Exit 4]

The top 30 programs, particularly the top 20, are littered with similar four star kids not getting the touches you would expect and they would have gotten had they gone to a lesser school. That said, glad to have him.

This is nice, man I can't wait for the season to start!

He's a redshirt junior who can play immediately, I'm also assuming he has 2 years of eligibility?

One year.

He redshirted as a freshman in 2013. 5 years to "play" 4.

 

[shakes65]

Very positive. HCRE and assistants have been busy and we can expect more. Will really be pleased when he pulls in a Grad Transfer QB. That is a huge need. Can also bring in a frosh or JUCO QB as backup.

Can't wait to see what is next up.

 

[Jimdish255]

Glad to have him. Lucky for us those 3 "have elected to forego their final year of eligibility at South Carolina". I don't care how he got here as long as he can put the past behind, make the adjustment and focus on a future that is looking up at the moment.

 

[BlueDogs]

Edsall is killing it. This a nice pick-up. An SEC level big back is awesome. If he can pass protect and catch a few balls on check downs that in itself is a huge improvement. If he can pick up yards, all the better.

 

[Bonehead]

Welcome Dawg!

If not I got dibs on it.

I know that's lighthearted, but still ....

The prior USC back worked himself into a co-#2 position with Robbie Frey, lost playing time with fumbles and then worked his butt off to help his team to the Fiesta Bowl by busting wedges and blocking or returns instead of whining about lack of playing time. And then had injuries take away his chance to start the following year.

Yes, he disappointed, but if all disappointments gave as much to the team as Shu did we wouldn't have gone through the last six years.
