He has no penalty and 15 free college credits.Poor kid got screwed with the coach change. All players should be allowed to change without penalty when there is a change in any HC, OC or DC.

Screwed is a stretch but the staff definitely had no intentions of him playing. He doesn't fit the mold of what they want. If he wasn't so popular with other recruits(sneed for example) he would have been persuaded to look elsewhere. Used is a better term.How did he get screwed?

That is a very serious accusation against our staff and the 2nd thread you have stated as such, do you have anything to back this up? Even if true, I still can't figure out your motivation and intention for repeating it over and over so unnecessarily.Screwed is a stretch but the staff definitely had no intentions of him playing.

It's a business. Now you see why Russo switched.That is a very serious accusation against our staff and the 2nd thread you have stated as such, do you have anything to back this up? Even if true, I still can't figure out your motivation and intention for repeating it over and over so unnecessarily.
This. There was no screw job the kid is just simply not a d1 linebacker. Frankly I think he'll have a tough time seeing the field at YSU. By all accounts a great kid but if I were him I'd be looking to play some d3 ball at a high academic like Amherst or Williams.Ash honored all Flood commitments just like he has with Naijee Jones. Problem with Pollack is he is not an FBS level player despite what his dad thinks.
So that begs the question why this staff pursued hm hard through the end of January.This. There was no screw job the kid is just simply not a d1 linebacker.

How did he get screwed?
Everybody on this forum loved this kid and now he has been dumped unceremoniously without playing a single down. I call that an RU Screw.
1) did they not honor ALL commitments?So that begs the question why this staff pursued hm hard through the end of January.
Best post of the two threads on the transfer. Thanks for the information.Board has gone full retard over this...
1. Ash would be a fool to suddenly drop a kid who was committed to us for a year. He had to take him and every other kid that was committed and will give every guy he took a chance to make this team better. That's not complicated guys and only the rare asshole coach would do something like that.
2. It's no secret that we are dying for good LBers here. D-Y-I-N-G. This position group is going to struggle big time this year if you are objective about it. Yet some of you are going to buy the repeated rumor by a few minions that he didn't get a fair chance? He wasn't a D1 LB - period.
3. Several on this board have been manipulated by people related to the situation and it's sad. The same posters who were telling us he was a 4.5 kid with a weighted vest and the same people last week who said he was transferring to a big time school, the same people who said he was offered by UM...
He is a transfer. There will be 10 more over the next year like there is every year. Wish him luck and let it go already for crying out loud and stop regurgitating the info you get from a biased source only to promote a narrative that isn't there.

All other things, I'm willing to defer on but he DID get offered by Michigan. That is a fact that is not second hand.
Nope. It's in the same category of him having 180 tackles, 31 tfls and 14 sacks as a senior in high school
Offers are one thing....was is committable is another....who cares? We loved the kids loyalty and affection for RU but it didn't work out...let it go at that...some things are best left alone!!Nope. It's in the same category of him having 180 tackles, 31 tfls and 14 sacks as a senior in high school

Why don't you spell it out?Oh boy. Its so far deeper than that
No negative slant from me. Just asked a few questions, and I am pretty far from in the know. Asking questions about the rapid/early transfer of the leader of the 2016 class seems to be too much for some to bear around here, and we are supposed to walk on eggshells according to you.VK, Kyk, Knightshift and a few others...you folks need to give it a rest with your negative slant on this and a few other things. You guys make it seem like you are in the know, closely connected and know everything that is going on. Not so.
In this case I am pleased to see Jon get situated in a decent program with a solid head coach and at school where Jim Tressel is the president. While I may have no proof I am willing to bet the Ash-OSU connection is involved somewhere here. Bo Pellini is no slouch of a coach. And Jon is eligible immediately.
Like many others here I join in wishing Jon Pollock all the best and hope he has nothing but a great football and academic career at YSU. A class young man and family.
Have you or anyone who thinks he is not a D1 player actually see him play in a live game? I'm guessing no and most of you probably never even played the sport at any level. Stay classy RU.This.

can we be honest with ourselves for a second. If harbaugh called pollock it was nothing more than him trying to screw around with Rutgers. The convo probably went like harbaugh saying "hey we want to offer you a scholarship" while in his head thinking maybe he can get pollock to start talking about michigan after being 1000% all Rutgers just to make Floods life even harder than it already was.Let's just say there are a handful of people who can state for a fact that the offer was made. Absolute fact.
