Does this say something about Dylan McCaffrey?

 

[NCHawker]

A good QB is exactly what UM needs, we'll see if he becomes one.

Sends a clear message to high school QBs they are recruiting!

Does this say something about Dylan McCaffrey?

I think it says that he doesn't think a redshirt freshmen will be as ready to go as much as this kid who's already had experience playing will be. Now will he be able to play right away due to Ole Miss's NCAA issues or will he have to sit out a year? I do find it interesting that Harbaugh is trolling the transfer route as opposed to developing his own as well. He must be feeling some pressure to win now... Imagine that

I have seen Dylan McCaffrey play 8/9 times in high school. He has a very high football IQ and average arm strength. Likely needs a few years to get stronger and playing behind this kid for two years will actually help the red shirt freshman IMO

High IQ with average arm. Kind of sounds like Rudock a bit.

Petitioned the NCAA to be eligible in 2018.

I thought NCAA ruled the ole miss kids could play right away.

I guess it is only the players with one year of eligibility left. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/12/1/16720556/ole-miss-sanctions-ncaa-transfer-rules

Because Ole Miss is bowl-banned for 2018, players entering their last year of eligibility are allowed to transfer from the program without sitting out a year in “academic residence.” That could lead other programs to make a run on Ole Miss’ roster, and it also might contribute to players deciding to leave school for the NFL.

The only players definitely allowed to transfer and play immediately are those whose eligibility runs out before Ole Miss is bowl-eligible again.
