Possible DB Incoming Transfer?
Sidebar - Auburns OOC schedule is so soft

Speaking of sidebars-did you notice the one stating "Michigan kicks star special team player off team"? A bit behind the curve news-wise NBC sports we think.
I've never thought of NBC Sports as a reporting powerhouse...surprising they haven't even felt the need to update the headline considering they're an actual news source.

After NBCSports bought ProFootballTalk, they seem to have tried to recreate the same type of site for other major sports. Their college football guy was a huge Michigan hater for a while (referring to RR as DickRod) but I think they have different writers now. For all its flaws, I really like PFT and think none of the other sites, including the college football one, are nearly on the same level.

Your goddam right. He keeps it real all the time because he's not scarred to tell it how it is.
Yes please!
But would anymore DBs on the current roster then feel betrayed?

Can't be scared of competition under Harbaugh

betrayed? This isn't an episode of The Real World.
ate Bob Dole's peanut butter???
That's just not something Bob Dole does.
Bob Dole likes his peanut butter.
Bob Dole never made a secret about that.
These are win-wins for Harbaugh...
Either he adds a player, increases competition, and comes out with a better starter
Or
A kid leaves because he didn't want more competition, and Harbaugh is able to get rid of the noncompetitors.
If we have scholarships there's literally no downside to taking transfers.

What of the kid coming here because he's fleeing competition? Eh? Ehhhh??
Then they probably don't have the logic to pass any admissions testing anyway.
If they feel betrayed, they probably shouldn't be on the team. Harbaugh wants as much competition as possible at every position, and if kids are going to shy away from that, they won't last.

Please turn on your sarcasm meters before down voting.
Moncrief stated “[h]e’d like to play at another [Power Five] program, possibly in the ACC, Big Ten or Pac-12.”
Would Moncrief have to sit out a season? If we are going by the original article it said 2 former 4* players with the DB having to sit out a season and a front 7 player who could play immediately, and would contend right away for playing time. Going off that it would have to be Moncrief and Cassanova McKinzy right?

"If Moncrief transfers to another FBS program, he will have to sit out next season and will have one year of eligibility remaining."
Where did you get Cassanova McKinzy? Has there been news that he wants to transfer?
Saw Countess at the softball game all decked out in maize and blue. Still think that one is strange
Why can't he root for Michigan anymore?
This is just like the Josh Furman deal. Countess is going to a school with a better scheme for his playing style. Much like Josh Furman did. And then everyone couldn't believe how good Furman was. Playing in a scheme that fits you can you really do a lot for you. Especially when a guy has goals to play in the NFL.
What was it about OK State's scheme that made it a better fit for Furman? Serious question.
They played him as an outside linebacker/box safety rather than a free safety. He rushed the quarterback quite a bit and had several sacks (5 or so, IIRC).
He was playing LB instead of safety
Moncrief is good, we should take him.
I am assuming he has SEC Speed and would instantly be the fastest on our team? :-)
By virtue of going to a B1G team he would lose 2-3 tenths off his forty. It's just plain science.
By looking at Auburns roster .... Cassanova McKinzy is the only front seven player on the roster who is a four star and would be immediately eligible to play

Nah. His credits won't transfer from his last stop and he will never make it past admissions...

Speaking of which, the article says Moncrief was a JUCO player before Auburn. Might he have some problems getting past admissions? Or does the year at Auburn solve that?
That was my first question. Not only Juco but Auburn...not exact an academic powerhouse
What's funny is that all of the people down here consider Auburn a great academic choice for their kids...
Though I hear Alabama has an excellent engineering program.
similator.
But it's in Huntsville.
Eh. Just because a school isn't Michigan doesn't mean it's bad.
"Auburn has traditionally been rated highly by academic ranking services, and has been listed as one of the top 50 public universities for 20 consecutive years." (Wikipedia, natch) If I had a family in Alabama and didn't have money to blow to send kids out of state to somewhere prestigious, that sounds like a fine choice.
Agreed Auburn is a decent school and a good academic choice for an undergrad degree.
I doubt there would be a problem with transfering from a school like Auburn. Auburn is probably one of the better schools in the SEC after Vandy (faint praise I know).
of the potential of an incoming transfer or two, but seeing the initials 'DB' is always a bit stressful. It carries such negative connotations; maybe over time I can deprogram myself and no longer have that initial urge to heave.
Yeah I don't want any Douche Bags on our team.

He was a JUCO before going to Auburn.
If Moncrief was a JuCo I'm guessing he is not the mystery transfer
wouldn't the immediately eligible guy need to be a grad transfer? if so, previously being a juco wouldn't matter at all...he would have an undergraduate degree.
wrong guy...
