futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Has anybody bothered to check to see if these guys are even eligible to play? Last I checked, in-state transfers are required to sit out a semester…Out of state transfers can play immediately, if they moved WITH a parent….

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Transfer rules mean nothing...all you have to do is threaten the WVSSAC or VHSL with a lawsuit and your eligible to play...I know of a couple of "ambulance chasers" who would love to represent if needed...

[/ QUOTE ]No….it’s a little more complicated than that…In-state transfer students must sit out a semester before they can play. Unless there’s something I’m missing…that’s what I’ve been told in the past from an athletic director or two…and a current athletic director to remain unnamed…Out of state transfers can play immediately, if they move with a parent. I guess these guys can play immediately, IF the school wants to risk forfeiting every game they play in…(the exception being of course going to an out of state school.)

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you transfer during the school year you have to sit out a semester unless you move from a different state. If you were to transfer to another school in state during the summer your eligible to play the next fall because that starts the new school year.

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 O.K. thanks for clarifying that. I think it still sux that a kid would do that. I tend to believe a lot of these kids are pushed by their parents to transfer, because either they got mad at one of the coaches for “lack of playing time.†Or some other silly reason. Personally, I think if there are seniors who paid their dues in front of you, and they can get the job done…then the job is theirs…you’ll have to sit and wait your turn just like anybody else…Surely the kids who’ve been working hard at the school where the kid is going to transfer must get a little upset too, if their position is in jeopardy. It’s just a tough situation all the way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] In regards to Will Cole, and Seth Tibbs this is what you are probably seeing......With Cole it is simple, he moves in with an uncle or his grandfather and he is eligible. With Seth Tibbs, if I am not mistaken his father teaches at Tazewell. If he transfered to a school in Richlands, and moved down there then Seth is eligible immediately. That is just my best guess, and I think that both are gone. The real question is why are our best players leaving? And can we look foward to more of the same?
