The former OL 6'4 275, 4 star recruit from SC/GA who went to Uconn has some interest in becoming an Aggie. He can offer quality dept on the offensive line. Hemingway is close to signing and will help shore up the OL. Did Hemingway sit out last year ? Because if he didn't that means he will have to sit out this year. and that's not helping us in the 2015 season.

He took a year's sabbatical after leaving UConn. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Players moving down do not have to sit out a year. That's why I'm hoping we can get a couple of more fbs transfers.

Sent from my SM-N910P using proboards[/quot The sabbaticals was a good move on his part because otherwise he would have to sit out one year. NCAA rules state that if the athlete is moving from one division 1 school to another division 1 school he would have to sit out 1 season. The sabbatical negated that rule thereby giving him two years of eligibility to play football for us. All Division 1 programs fall under the same 4 of 4 rule. BCS & FBS are Division 1 programs. it is good to see got the young man had the state of mind to take a sabbatical which for prevented him from having to lose a year of eligibility. I wish him luck.

So... are you implying that Donovahn Jones will be sitting out this year because he's transferring from Minnesota (FBS) to A&T (FCS) because both are considered Division I?

14.5.5.2.10 One-Time Transfer Exception. The student transfers to the certifying institution from another four-year collegiate institution, and all of the following conditions are met (for graduate students,see Bylaw 14.1.8.1): (Revised: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05) (a) The student is a participant in a sport other than baseball, basketball, bowl subdivision football or men’s ice hockey at the institution to which the student is transferring. A participant in championship subdivision football at the institution to which the student is transferring may use this exception only if the participant transferred to the certifying institution from an institution that sponsors bowl subdivision football and has two or more seasons of competition remaining in football or the participant transfers from a Football Championship Subdivision institution that offers athletically related financial aid in football to a Football Championship Subdivision institution that does not offer athletically related financial aid in football; (Revised: 1/16/93 effective 8/1/93, 1/11/94, 1/10/95, 11/1/00 effective 8/1/01, 4/27/06 effective 10/15/06, 12/15/06, 4/27/07 effective 8/1/08 applicable to student-athletes who transfer on or after 8/1/08) www.aamusports.com/documents/2013/8/12/2013-14_NCAA_Manual.pdf?id=245

He's not at A&T yet but is in talks and A&T is at the top of the list. He likes A&T! Currently working out at ODU with the UConn coaches that recrutied him, but really thinks excluding HBCU's initially was not the best thing. Should be a done deal by the end of next week.
