NCAA denies Matthew Baldwin's transfer eligibility waiver, TCU plans to appeal 

Quote

Former Ohio State quarterbacks are batting .500 when it comes to having the NCAA approve a waiver for immediate eligibility at their new school this fall. Matthew Baldwin, who left the Buckeyes for the TCU Horned Frogs, did not have a waiver request to be eligible this season approved by the NCAA, according to a report from The Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Thursday. TCU will likely file an appeal to try and pitch their case for Baldwin to be eligible.

Because Baldwin’s waiver request was not approved, he will now be eligible to play again beginning in 2020 unless any appeal filed by TCU reaches a different outcome. A torn ACL in high school left Baldwin unavailable to see the playing field for Ohio State last season. Baldwin was a four-star member of Ohio State’s Class of 2018. His addition to the TCU program figured to add some good quality depth to the TCU quarterback competition if he was ruled eligible. For now, those plans will be put on hold for another year.

The decision to approve Baldwin’s transfer was the polar opposite of the waiver request filed by another former Buckeye quarterback this offseason. Tate Martell, who could end up being the starting quarterback at Miami this season, had his waiver approved by the NCAA following his departure from Columbus. And of course, new Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields had his waiver for immediate eligibility approved following his transfer from Georgia this offseason.

Wow Tavien Feaster will help South Carolina a lot, kid is a tank and is very put together.  Big tough back and could have a great year.  Is better than Rico Dowdle I feel and could start over him after a few weeks into the year I feel.  AJ Turner is nothing great either unless they have an interesting freshman coming in at RB the position is open.

Should help that offense a lot, they were better I thought at times with Ty'Son Williams running the ball more but he transferred out to BYU and should get a ton of time out there.

Brenton Cox was kicked off the UGA Bulldogs. Will be interesting to see where he lands on his feet. Really talented player. 

Depends on his attitude. Apparently that has been a major issue since high school. D'Andre Walker had to put him in his place last year during a game. He had discipline problems all year, and was seen running stairs during one scrimmage during this past spring. He wasnt producing and was passed on the depth chart by Azeez Ojulair, Nolan Smith, Jermaine Johnson, and probably Adam Anderson.

He has talent but who knows if he is ever going to get out of his own way.

Kinda glad we got him out if that's the case.  Richt would've kept him hoping for a turnaround, but if he's that big of a problem, you've gotta cut the guy loose.  

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for him.

4* Florida recruit DB Chris Steele granted immediate eligibility at USC- https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-db-chris-steele-granted-ncaa-eligibility-waiver-for-2019-season-after-transferring-from-florida/

Tough loss for Florida, especially after losing McWilliams to a torn Achilles.

NCAA has denied VT QB Braxton Burmeister's immediate eligibility request, and the school will be appealing- https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/08/09/ncaa-denies-braxton-burmeister-immediate-eligibility-at-virginia-tech/

In my opinion, this should be a slam dunk immediately eligibility waiver, but the NCAA is going to do their thing.

I like the kid but he doesn't have a strong case. He's also not very good.
