BandanaVTDavis4321 1,718 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 One of my customers at work walks in to get a prescription filled, he's a regular, and he has a GMen hat on. We talk about football and Grahams chances/outlook and Giles chances/outlook. Then he drops some knowledge. He tells me the younger brother of former Graham ALL State running back Cousins (from a few years back) has moved back to Bluefield from the Charlotte area and will be on the field Friday night against Lee High. He did tell me "it's what he heard." He didn't sound 100% for certain. If, and again, a big IF the above is true, well, the Gmen have likely added some more talent to their already abundant arsenal. P.S. This is the same customer that told me early on about the Clements kid coming to Graham, so he at least has a decent track record.

He played on Friday nigh in Elkin, NC for the Elks and the following Friday night in Wytheville for Galax. I'm not sure how that makes any sense, but apparently it's legal.

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I thought the VHSLrule was "if you competed in another state in a sport,you could not play in that sport until the following season'????or is that for in state transfers only????.There is a big risk there too, just ask GRAHAM CLARK (FORMER DB COACH AND AT THE TIME CHILHOWIE COACH, he had a kid transfer in late and only used on the kickoff teams, he was found to be outside the eligible guild lines ,so they forfeited 10 games that year and they should have won state FoxTrot and SwvaOG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I just read that the athlete must live with a parent, no aunts uncles,gradpaws ect,So if they move it looks like he may be able to play. IT IS STILL A HUGE RISK waiting on grades conduct records and TEAM CHEMISTRY,some of the other players working out all summer and then some newbie takes their spot on the depth chart????

Out of state, if living with parent, kid can play. And........according to the fellow I spoke with, he's better than his brother. Again, purely what I was told. I certainly haven't seen the kid play, but the gentlemen told me he is actually BETTER than his brother, and I remember his brother. His brother Jamorya Cousin I think rushed for around 2,000 yds two times at Graham, and he was the real deal. All-Stater, so IF, again...big IF it is true, he's not the kind of kid that's going to just be on the kickoff team. He's an instant contributor. I'm just writing exactly what I was told. I have ZERO idea if the above is true or false, but the guy that told me this is the same one that told me about the Clements kid coming to Graham, and that was early on (before Clements actually got to Graham).

I didn't think he got to play right away because of his old high school doing something but he moved here from out of state with his parents so I think he was eligible right away but I might be wrong. Heck I can't remember much about yesterday much less a few years ago....haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Sasquatch 1,869 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Out of state transfers are immediately eligible to play as long as that move is with a parent or guardian. This all may be a rumor. Haven't heard this at all. But wouldnt be unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 The "Bri'Quan Harrell" transfer rule could possibly come into play. Some may recall the story. Harrell played QB/DB at Western Branch in 2017 during the regular season and didn't qualify for the playoffs. He apparently made a bona fide move to Oscar Smith three days before their state semi-final game against Colonial Forge. Oscar Smith beat Colonial Forge in the semis in double OT with Harrell possibly making a difference in the outcome. VHSL closed the loophole to prevent a player from playing in the regular season with one team and the post season with another. I'm not sure if it applies to out-of-state transfers.
