He graduated + He has eligibility left + He enrolled at a school with a major that was not available at UMD = Madison, WI.

No surprise here. With a steady dose of Montee Ball coming at you, the QB does not need to be the focal point, at least early in the season. By the time Big 10 season starts, he should have developed enough chemistry with his receivers and end up with number close to Russell Wilson.

“I also correctly stated that he would have 2 years left…”

I feel bad for MD. Sounds like your coach is in over way over his head.

I will just ignore your attempts as being a smart A** and attribute them to you being either a SNERT or unemployed and feeling the need to lash out out people.
As I said, if you had read the comment comment, the NCAA rule used to be 5 years max in college. I also correctly stated that he would have 2 years left, unless the NCAA had somehow changed the 5 year rule. Is that simple enough for even you to understand. Certainly, you should be mature enough to use mommies computer to read what is said. Now go on little person, because this adult doesn’t have the time or patience to waste on your childish remarks.

Oh yeah, that’s right. So I guess if he only played 3 years at Md. he can continue graduate work and play for a max 2 years all together, unless the 5 year max rule has been changed by the NCAA.

Were you paying attention in reading class when you were in school? He only played the 2010 and 2011 seasons at Maryland. Has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

O’Brian has junior eligibility this year and has two more years at UW.

He graduated early from MD, and has athletic eligibility remaining. As a result, he can play without sitting a year.

I think he got some kind of hardship waiver.

Why doesn’t he have to sit out this season as a transfer?

I bet Maryland is wishing they still had Danny Obrien now that CJ Brown is done for the year

Seems like when I lived there back in the 90′s and early 2000′s, they had pretty sufficient QB’s. No Heisman’s, but I am wondering if, going the one year route for QB is such a good idea. Hopefully, their freshman this year, will be on a steep learning curve so he will be ready to go in the next year. Hopefully, also, the transfer from MD. will get coached up a lot better than he did under the Edsal regime. I think he is a pretty good athlete.

Well speaking that they successfully recruited a 4 star QB from De La Salle this year I think there’s your answer. If it is going to do anything it’s going to show that QBs can thrive at UW and even though they are run first they are a QB friendly school.

Do you think the Badgers will ever get a recruit and actually teach him to be a QB again. They are beginning to act like Auburn, but in love with ACC QB,s.
