If Smith transferred...

Since the topic was brought up about Smith potentially graduating early, then transferring to play 1 season at a bigger school, what school would make sense?
Obviously, Brett has the skill to play in a BCS conference. Any big time schools looking for a QB next season?

Logan Thomas @ Va.Tech is a senior. Smith could do well in that offense.
Taylor Martinez @ Nebraska is a senior. God knows how much better they would have been over the last 4 years if Martinez didn't turn the ball over every other drive.
ACS at Vandy is a senior...
CU has a couple QBs that aren't getting it done, and they have SJSU's old head coach.
If Mannion leaves for the NFL after this season, Oregon State will need a new QB in a bad way.

Others?
Obviously, I want Brett @ Wyo. So don't go off on a rant about me wanting Brett on another team.
I am just wondering which teams that would want Brett for a season.
 
Texas seems to need a better than average QB and Saban will be there next year. Hell, that's where I would go!
 
I'm a Brett Smith fan, so hope he stays....if he is considering a move. However, if he decided to move on for his senior year, I could care less where he went. He'd be ACS part 2.

Brett, please stay and finish this on a positive note.
 
If Brett transferred it would be nothing like ACS part 2.
Brett isn't a cancer to the locker room. Brett gave his heart and soul for 3 seasons and played with a passion ACS never could.
Brett is a legit NFL prospect and it would be very smart for him to play on a team with a decent O-Line and in a system that isn't so scripted that even the fans know what is coming every play.
Brett never blamed anyone for losses, only himself. ACS was a prick and yelled at everyone but himself, then talked a big game about being a leader.
ACS wanted out from the start.
And on top of that Bretts parents never tried to control the offense or what games he played in.
ACS leaving was a shit-show. And it was a mutual "good-ridance".
Brett leaving, unless something dramatic happened would be to have a legit chance to showcase his talent so he can go to the NFL.
Plus, if he graduated, he wouldn't owe the fans anything.

First off, if Brett transferred he wouldn't be playing next year, as he'd have to sit out a year (year in residence) before playing. This means he'd have to go to the new school for 2 years and play in 2015. He's good, but I can't imagine any team giving him a 2 year scholarship to play one year. I don't know his finances, so maybe paying a year wouldn't be a problem. Next year Brett will be a Cowboy or trying to make the squad of an NFL team, or maybe CFL.

And let me tell you, you are so far off on ACS. ACS no passion?! Have you ever seen him play? ACS played with as much passion as any other QB I can remember, or more. He took more shots than Brett, stood up wobbling and played the next down He played with blood pouring from his skull at FAU. He lead a bunch of true freshman to a Bowl game victory where we were a massive underdog, with a string of come from behind performances. Sorry, but ACS had passion equal to Brett. He wasn't a cancer in the locker room and was a fine leader. Did he yell at players during the game, yes, just as Brett does and they both should. There was nothing wrong with ACS's departure. He couldn't stand playing for a prick, asked for a release multiple times and was denied, so he walked. I would do the same thing. Wouldn't you?

If Brett left for the same or different reasons I wouldn't blame him and I would also defend him against any future mud slinging. Neither are/were trouble makers.

Not true if Smith is able to graduate in May or at the end of the summer term. A graduate is free to transfer to any "grad program" of the player's choosing. Remember Russell Wilson? Multiple year starter for NC State that graduated early and then started the next year at Wisconsin as a graduate student at Wisconsin.
 
Obviously like Russell Wilson, you would hope that if the scenario came and Brett left (knocks on wood) that he would transfer to a potential winner. Colorado win't winning shit.

IF this happened....my gut says Texas or Oregon State. Something not too far though.

True, I missed that little tid-bit about Brett graduating early in the post. If so, more power to him, and I wouldn't talk smack about him after he left.
 
If Mariota declares this year...would the Ducks try for him, if Brett does transfer? That could be dangerous for both parties

Wow. I had not entertained that thought. I would hope not, because he would play against Wyoming....but that urge to play home......damn.

lol screw this topic and its logic. Lets hope he stays.

I agree obvously lol lets hope he is a Cowboy for his last college game but I know Chip Kelly said he wished he offered him, plus it would be hard todeny that opportunity. if he did decide to leave.
 
Lol ACS left because he hated playing for DC? Or his mommy wanted to be the OC?

And yeah this is ALL hypothetical. Just wondering which teams he might go to.
I forgot we can't talk about anything that MIGHT happen, unless it's Wyoming losing.

That only works if they are transferring to a school that has a grad program in something that isn't available at the students present school. I have no idea what Brett's degree program is, but it's likely there is a grad program at UW in that field, thus negating the ability to graduate and transfer to a different school.

Way to bring some good news that is a hard fact to this thread.
 
Suppose he graduated early and is eligible right away. Who would want him? It would have to be a school that is struggling like Wyoming (maybe because they have no offensive line)? What could Smith prove there? Or maybe the team has a QB catastrophe occur (injuries or drop outs). This would not occur too often so would certainly limit the teams that would want him, and some or all could very well be undesirable. No. If Smith leaves, it is to go pro.

Actually I believe that it is completely incorrect. The rule was modified at one point to allow all graduate transfers to transfer penalty free (whether or not the grad degree is offered at the former school or not).

The only caveat that I am aware of is that the SEC as a conference has voted to eliminate the graduate transfer rule. (i.e. Brett Smith can not transfer to A&M and play next year if Manziel leaves).

Actually, I was correct. Looks like the current school also has to deny that player a scholarship renewal.
------------

A: Are there different rules for graduate students?

Student-athletes who have graduated are subject to the same release requirements as undergraduates and must have at least one year of eligibility remaining. To be eligible for the one-time transfer exception, football, basketball, baseball and men’s ice hockey student athletes must have been denied a scholarship renewal at their original school. If the student-athlete wishes to pursue a degree program not offered at the original institution, he or she is eligible for a waiver to compete immediately at the new school.
