I'd be curious to know where he's headed. Possibly one of the directional Michigan schools?
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
Maybe we can send him to the west coast and Oregon
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
if Denard is already there.
.....too soon?
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
It hurts very much just to read this.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
If there was a singular adjective that would describe "soul ripped out and shown to me by some combination of a Samurai warrior and a Navy SEAL" I would have just written that one word for this post.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:35 PM ^
but any comment like this should have gotten neg'd not pos'd.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
Looks like his dad was not at all happy that he saw no time yesterday
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Didn't want to linkage their Rivals site. I'd be pissed too if I had to watch McGloin cost them that game and I couldn't do anything about it.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Bolden should never Zettel for lack of playing time it is like a kick in the McGloin.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
Don't you think though, that if Bolden's dad is behind all this, he's being too Paternolistic?
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:22 AM ^
OMG I get it. Hilarious.
Really though, very witty
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
I thought I read somewhere on the Interwebs that Kevin Newsome was expected to transfer as well. IF, big IF, they both transfer, PSU would be seriously screwed.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
I believe he still plans to transfer, yes.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
Oh darn.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:41 PM ^
Newsome is def. gone. He'ss never going to play, since he got buried on the depth chart all year.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:15 AM ^
Remember when we all thought things were great b/c McGloin was going to have to start against us? Remember how that worked out?
Lack of depth: bad. Having two role players who didn't pan out transfer allowing more snaps to go to whoever is next: not so bad.
January 3rd, 2011 at 1:03 PM ^
If Newsome and Bolden both transfer, PSU will be left with apparently only Matt McGloin and any other walk-ons at QB, if what was stated about Paul Jones being inelgible is true. They have zero QBs in their current class. Rob Bolden was a freshman that made freshman mistakes; the guy still has a lot of upside. He is definitely not a role player, and figured to factor heavily into the QB situation for 2011 (he would only be a sophomore and generally that is when players make their biggest leap).
So, with Bolden and Newsome leaving, PSU will be left with three walk-ons and Paul Jones, if he can get eligible. That ain't bad; it's really bad.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
they're going to be pretty thin at qb if newsome leaves too.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
The writing is obviously on the wall at PSU for Bolden. I wonder if he still thinks he can play QB at a BCS school? Sometimes it's not a matter of talent, but "wrong place at the wrong time." I also wonder if other coaches who recruited him still think he has the goods to succeed at a major school?
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
The writing is on the wall? Because he couldn't hold onto the starting job as a true freshman?
I remember a time when freshmen weren't expected to be great as freshmen. Those were the good ol' days...
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
I wonder if there is any chance that UM might pursue Bolden (assuming a coaching change)? He is similar to Devin but is probably a more polished passer at this point.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:09 PM ^
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Boren
<br>
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
Not on a scholarship anymore.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
Boren paid his own tuition at OSU.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
plow paychecks go a long way here in the Midwest.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
Right. I forgot about the intra-conference transfer == no scholarship deal.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
if you're transferring back to your home state, where you would be paying in-state tuition. Still not free (or likely to happen), but its not like he'd be on the hook for $40k a year.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
We don't really need him, so I would guess no.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
If the status quo remains, we don't really need him.
But things will likely change, whether it's a new coach, a transfer from our own ranks, or both.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
I doubt he'd come here
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
yes he is transferring
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
I think he's Saginaw Valley State's to lose.
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
True freshman starter at Penn St.???? I'm sure he can go somewhere a bit better, maybe WVU?
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
Don't you make fun of that wonderful school in the nasty...
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
That Saginaw was the only city where one could live and die in the same day. IS taht still true?
January 2nd, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
PSU still has Paul Jones, correct? He was pretty highly regarded coming out of HS and redshirted this season I believe. They will need another QB but still could be okay if Jones develops.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:16 PM ^
Paul Jones can't even get eligible. I wouldn't count on him if I was a PSU fan.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:23 PM ^
the same thing as MH20. Has he become recently ineligible, or has this been the case all fall?
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:31 PM ^
He was an early entry student and tanked his first semester.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
I had no idea that Jones was academically ineligble. I guess the Fightin' JoePas really are screwed.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Penn State caused this problem. They recruit too many QBs
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
No suprise, really. I mean, the poor guy didn't even get his week to look like an All-American against our defense.
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions.
Bolden earns the starting spot as a true freshman, mom and dad drive to Happy Valley to watch his game, everybody's all giddy with excitement.......and now dad's saying "He's not happy at Penn State" and "if it was up to me, he'd definitely leave, without a doubt."
My oh my, what a difference a few months makes.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
Any chance he goes where RR goes? (Pitt or UConn?)
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
Wow. RR to Pitt would make him even more haten in WV than he already is. I would fear for his life.
January 3rd, 2011 at 10:54 AM ^
Assuming RR goes anywhere as HC, this wouldn't be a bad move for him at all.
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
Devlin seemed to do just fine there and will probably be drafted. Maybe Miami now that Golden is there.
Or, maybe his Dad is shopping the SEC for $$ that his son "won't know about".
January 2nd, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
Delaware has a long and proud history of snatching up Penn State transfers
