Ty Isaac transferring from USC
IIRC, we were his leader for a bit. Was a 5-star RB; do we take him if we don't get Damien Harris? (He played sparingly last year in his freshman campaign -- I'd imagine he would have to sit out a year unless he gets a waiver. 40 carries for a 5.9 YPC average and 2 touchdowns as a 3rd/4th string backup last year.)
#USC tailback Ty Isaac confirmed that he's been released from his scholarship and will to transfer closer to home. Story coming.

I guess so ... Feldman said:

If he ends up at Ohio State...
thank you for this, I needed a good laugh. And because I feel the same way.
Change, I'd bet.
EDit: family, my bad
The new coach won't be continuing the payments and new fur coats to his mother that were promised to him during his recruitments.
Insightful
Ty Issac that Michigan's staff was recruiting a couple years ago? :
IL RB Ty Issac
Beast, 6'3 220, very surgical runner but also can make plays after contact. Received his Michigan offer this week, which he is pretty excited about. Has many suitors and the staff will need to make some ground. I think coach Jackson is personally recruiting him. My favourite RB from the Midwest.

The timeline for taking Isaac and getting Damien don't line up. Ty will be making his decision very soon while Damien won't be for almost a year.
That being said, we are certainly closer to home. If we have a shot at him I say we should try to re-light that fire.
True, good point. In that case, if we took Isaac, Damien would probably be off the board (scholarship crunch, plus I can't see a RB recruit wanting to come into the longjam that'd be DGreen, DSmith, and TIsaac).
exactly call that a 'logjam'. No one that has proven themselves. This 'logjam' problem doesn't stop top tier programs from continuously landing elite players despite there being highly rated players ahead of them.
That's why they sent me, I am expert.
He should go to MSU. It's the best bet for him to come in and already be at a talent advantage and be on a team that is run heavy.
this is getting a little ridiculous
Probably Notre Dame bound.
WRONG
USC isn't going to release Isaac to a team on their schedule.
Amir Carlisle transferred from SC to Notre Dame just a couple of years ago.
Sam Webb said on today's recruiting roundup (podcast) that Isaac had received a release to 17 schools. Michigan is on the list; Notre Dame and OSU are not. There's definite Michigan interest:
According to @SamWebb77 ... former 5* RB Ty Isaac, who is leaving USC, is definitely interested in Michigan #recruitingroundup

Then they have way too much power and it's another good case for a players' union.
USC has been known to give kids unconditional releases due to family reasons. Rumour is that Isaac contacted ND in January about transferring there. Seeing as how ND can't fill out an 85 man scholarship roster they'd be stupid not to take him. Even being in competition with Bryant & Folston.
Per 247 he will be eligible to play this year.
I'd bet a Big Ten school in the area. Maybe Illinois? Northwestern is actually a reasonably attractive destination nowadays
What about Penn St.? It's a little bit further, but that James Franklin is sneaky.
Penn State is farther, not further. Sorry, but that one bugs me.
Go to hell.
"a bit further" is figurative no? It's x miles farther away, but a bit further away than mr. franklin? but i am not very bright so tbegin with so there is that.
"Farther" refers to distance, such as "Saudi Arabia is farther away than Canada."
"Further" refers to an idea, such as "He's further away from achieving his potential than I am."
Father is a person's male parent, it is also how people say "farther" that pronounce it with a very soft R
Fodder is food for livestock, or a way people say "farther" that have very soft R sounds and don't annunciate the -th sound.
Farter is someone that farts. This should not be confused with further or farther.
Furter is how the Swedish Chef says farter and many other words. This is funny.

Closer to home is Illinois. https://sports.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-…
Michigan=closer to home
Illinois=home
exactly
The correct spelling is Champaigne.
but his family resides in Naperville. Ann Arbor is still farther away. Another thing to consider, he was a high school teammate and is still friends with Josh Ferguson (Illinois RB). (Disclaimer, not a stalker, my nephew blocked for both of them on the same squad.)
"I have family stuff with my mom and want to be closer to home," said Isaac, according to Thiry. "I had a good time at USC. Last year's team was something really special ... When you pick a school, you don't foresee a decision like this happening."
WRONG
