Yankoff

Swaye

Just read Stalins link of the Pac12 stock report and it says Colson Yankoff is still in the portal and has not been picked up by anyone.

What happens if you enter the portal and nobody wants you?

Also, in honor of the thread title and Memorial Day....

they're still working out the details yet lol ... like what happens in free agency and no one wants you or has space for you ...

guess edumacation really isn't a priority for the ncaa afterall.

they really should field 7vs7 ncaa portal teams that play each other that have academic tutors from the university of phoenix

I read an article about this but the article was more about saying the NCAA hadn't considered the ramifications of the portal against the scholarship numbers and the number of players trying to transfer. It did say players could potentially be left hanging as the schools only hold their scholarship until the end of the semester and they have no obligation to take the player back.

I'd speculate that use of the portal will adjust and that players, families, coaches, etc. will figure out the proper timing for entering the portal to ensure former 4-stars don't end up at FCS schools because they entered the portal at a time when there were not enough spaces left.

Could absolutely see where kids get left out in the cold and have to essentially walk on somewhere to try to earn a future scholarship

It's an absolute free for all right now ... something will change on that at some point in the future.

I didn't consider the walk on aspect but that's also an option. I wouldn't be surprised to see coaches tell players, if you enter the portal your scholarship is gone and you have the option to come back as a walk on to earn it back.

Surprised... no.

Disappointed... YES!

He's leaving UW because he's not good enough to be a QB for anyone other than beavlet or Idaho.

UCLA quarterback Colson Yankoff, who transferred from Washington, has so far been unable to obtain immediate eligibility for this season, according to sources.

The primary snag in the 6-4, 205-pound Yankoff becoming immediately eligible is, in fact, the University of Washington.

Even though there is a new, easier NCAA process for transferring, which includes the NCAA transfer portal, all conference and NCAA transfer rules still apply.

The Pac-12 has its own rule that intra-conference transfers must sit out a year. Any player transferring between Pac-12 conference schools who wishes to not sit out would have to compel his original school to waive that intra-conference penalty before his case even gets to the conference or NCAA level.

In May, after Yankoff entered the transfer portal, the University of Washington informed him it would not support a waiver of the intra-conference rule. This was done in writing, without Yankoff having yet requested a release from the rule, according to sources.

Yankoff and his attorneys appealed, which led to a hearing conducted internally by the University of Washington. Ultimately, Washington administrators denied Yankoff’s appeal.

With Yankoff having transferred to UCLA, UCLA's compliance office could file an appeal with the NCAA, and is preparing one, according to sources close to the situation. The NCAA has, in appeals cases, historically on occasion overrode the decision of the original school, but it's rare.

Washington could still grant Yankoff a waiver for immediate eligibility at any time. The Pac-12 conference and the NCAA would then have to also sign off. The NCAA also has its own rule that transfers have to sit out a year before being eligible, but commonly the NCAA doesn't enforce the rule if the original school waives the intra-conference penalty.

Yankoff, who was a four-star prospect in the 2018 high school class out of Coeur d’Alene (Idaho), didn’t play in his first season at Washington last year, and utilized his available redshirt year for sitting out the season. With his transfer to UCLA, if Yankoff can't gain eligibility for the 2019 season, he will lose a year of eligibility, and be eligible to play as a redshirt sophomore at UCLA for the 2020 season.

Great bump. Mostly so I could see them titties again.

That seems petty and unnecessary by UW. We don’t play UCLA this year, and they damn sure aren’t good enough to compete for the south championship
