So USU blocked Garretson's transfer to Washington because they are playing each

i hate when coaches pull this crap. you think wells wouldn't take a job w/ UW

Absolute crap

I mostly agree w/ you, but I can sort of understand the "espionage" concerns...

Washington has access to every single play that Utah St has run

Of course every team studies a lot of film, but especially in the NFL...

The difference with that is that they sign a player from the same year.

Belichick might disagree w/ you.

Disagree with facts? I'm confused

Haha, Belichick might. But he's a pretty successful coach in the NFL who's...

Could Stew have blocked Davis?

He did...

So it would only prevent Garretson from going for free for a year?

RedlandsCoug

4/20/15 12:51pm

Yep, which would not be cheap in Seattle. Bronco didn't block Leavitt.

I guess. I don't know enough about either situation to get upset over it.

BYU screws up a lot of things, but they do transfers right. If it's truly "about

I agree. I'm just not sure the conclusion I think is trying to be made is fair.

it is hypocritical on many fronts.

And as Fattycoug said above, Wells would go to UW right away if given the option

Maybe. Like I said schools in Utah (minus Westminster) aren't expensive

I'll never understand why coaches have a say in this.

This kind of power should not be available to coaches. 1 yr sitting is pleny

Aggies just lost any moral high ground they thought they had with Riley.

That is the point. BYU releases kids to USU, USU does not reciprocate.

Leavitt knows the BYU defense inside and out. USU's a big game for us.
