Who's down for some Bo Ryan bashing? Blocking Transfer Schools..

  • Bo won't let a freshmen Jared Uthoff transfer anywhere in the entire Big Ten, ACC, plus Iowa State or Marquette. The only school the kid has on his list that has a scholarship available and Bo will allow to contact him is Creighton.

    Similar to what Phil Martelli was blasted for this past season. Enjoy!

    Phil Martelli would not allow release. Totally different.

    Different but still reprehensible. From the article:


    As a result of the restrictions, the only school Uthoff is interested in that has a scholarship available and permission to speak with him is Creighton, a perennial contender in the Missouri Valley Conference. Johnson said Uthoff intends to visit Creighton sometime in the next week, but he is also appealing Wisconsin's restrictions in hopes of opening other options for himself.

  • I understand blocking him from transferring to a Big Ten school, but other than that this is ridiculous. Bo is a dick.

  • The B1G and Marquette certainly make sense. I guess I can see the inclusion of Iowa State since they are such a transfer magnet, but that one is a bit confusing. The totality of the ACC has me a bit perplexed.

    I can only assume that UW feels there may be some sort of tampering/poaching involved to have such a large list, but since they aren't talking, it doesn't look that great.

    That said, I would argue that none of these restrictions were on Uthoff when he was being recruited in high school. His reasoning for transfer is a bit of a mystery, so I'm not exactly sure what to think.

    why does it matter if it is a transfer magnet. I thought the general rule was to only not allow transfer to schools in your conference or who you play or recruit against regularly.

    I don't think Marquette makes that much sense. I know they're a rival, but they're in a different conference and you guys only play them once a year, and it really doesn't have any ramifications besides in-state bragging rights, which Bo should be able to look past. It would be like Dantonio not letting a kid transfer to Notre Dame.

    I don't know if they have ISU on a future schedule but I'm assuming that are just blocking potential opponents from getting this kid. The entire ACC might be excessive but with the challenge there's a chance that wisky could play any of those teams.

  • Why is Iowa state on the list? To me that's bush league its the only BCS power 6 program in the kids homestate not in the B1G.

    Also, it's well known that Martelli was in the right and that player was a major dooshbag.

    Not sure what's going on with the Wisconsin case, but that's what Bo gets for having a policy of only recruiting dooshbags.

    Why not Iowa State? For crying out loud, the kid's from Iowa.

    Why not Iowa? Fran McCaffrey let Ben Brust out of his commitment, and to go to Wisconsin, a direct competitor in the Big 10 who arguably was a much, much better team both before and after the transfer was allowed.

    Why not the ACC? Because Bo doesn't want to face him in the B10-ACC challenge, as the blog post posited? right

    Because Bo is a douche, that's why. Thank God we have Izzo.

    Well said.

    Because we all have lower standards for Bo.

    Except for the fact that Wisconsin is recruiting against Marquette all the time for in-state kids, so that one does make some sense. Like I said, I don't really get Iowa State or the ACC, but the B1G and Marquette I understand.

    That's not well known, and definitely beside the point. In fact, pretty much every commentator disagreed with you.

  • The Big Ten doesn't allow for transferes within the conference unless its not a scholarship move.

    if he is appealing he wins unless Bo has solid proof of tampering.

    The ACC thing is new, last week a hoops writer in WI had all of these except the entire Big 12 instead of the ACC.

    Some of the rumors are that this transfer came out of nowhere right after spring break, that's where people are wondering if there was some tampering or poaching occurring. Considering he lives in Iowa, that would certainly have something to do with blocking ISU or Iowa if the rumors are true.

    And again, because UW hasn't really commented on what's happening, we don't really have a lot to go on.

  • Yes, Bo is being an ass in this situation, but the bigger problem is the rule that allows this to happen in the first place. Coaches shouldn't be allowed to dictate where a player can and cannot transfer. Until that rule changes, you can expect to see more cases like this one.

  • I'm glad. Now the rest of the nation can see what an ass Bo Ryan is.

  • Weird. Time for the ACC to put in a no transferring to UW for football rule. Where will their QBs come from?

    So you think an athlete shouldn't be bound to his school after signing his LOI? There is no way the NCAA will ever give up that kind of control over its labor pool.

    None of the informed commentators disagreed with me. It is very well known that Martelli was in the right...the NCAA would have ruled in the player's favor, otherwise.

    Only those that are mindless and prone to be manipulated to rush to judgement took the player's side.
