I can't, because it's at the office, and I'm not going to be back there for a week. In fact, I really should get off the computer and get on the road to Winthrop, shouldn't I?

[Sly Fox]

It'd probably be a good idea. Watch out for 5-0.

There's finally a link to Lang's article in the local fishwrap:

If you read that article, it looks like initially, he will be a guard, but can play anywhere on the line.

If we were to get a I-AA transfer, do they have to sit out a year?

[BJWilliams]

No I believe if you transfer from one school to another within a division they can play right away

Yes. The only way you don't have to sit out is if you drop a division.

[jcmanson]

Thanks, that's what I thought.

BUT you can play right away if you are from a JC. Maybe some of the transfers are from there.

Guys in big programs often get lost in the change in coaches. I don't think it's a knock on his talent. I would expect him to be a force at this new level.

[bigsmooth]

please clarify this with the new transfer rules. so stadler can play immed. since he has three years of eilgibility, but if he only had one year left he would have to sit??

[SuperJon]

That's my understanding. I could be wrong though.

[bigsmooth]

could you try to get some clarification with your football connections??

[givemethemic]

Smoothie, from what I am gathering off the NCAA's website he can play...

Here is the PDF file the only one I could find that clearly defines the FBS to FCS transfer

http://www.ncaa.org/library/general/tra ... _guide.pdf

P.20 is where it starts to talk about the FCS transfer

[Sly Fox]

That's my understanding as well unless the player has completed his undergrad requirements.
