WVU transfer Tykee Smith

I just remember years ago, schools would block players from going to certain schools, which was almost always in conference schools and those on their future schedule. I remember some news articles about some players having really weird restrictions on where they could go.
OU is doing that literally right now with Mason Chambers transferring to TCU.

EDIT: Shoot, too late!
 
I don't believe teams can block where the transfers go nowadays, since the start of the transfer portal.
This is correct. The NCAA in 2019 started the transfer portal rules and in those rules prohibited schools from blocking where a transfer student could go.

Transfer Portal Rules from the NCAA

Quote from the NCAA Transfer Portal Rules Q&A:

"Can coaches dictate where a student-athlete can transfer?

Coaches can’t tell student-athletes when or where they can transfer. Student-athletes can transfer at any time if they believe attending a different school is in their best interest."

There have been a good number of guys transfer from one Big 12 team to another recently. I don’t think we’d be blocked

OU and Riley are trying to stop a transfer of a QB from OU to TCU, because OU thinks it is wrong to transfer intraconference without sitting out a year.

Nobody gives a $hit if OU/Riley thinks it's wrong, they can't do it.

Am I the only one that worries about what is behind an all-American and all conference player transferring. Has he had problems with coaching staff?

Just asking, seems odd to me.

We hired the WV dbacks coach when Holgerson left (not sure if he is still with us or not). That helped us with Isheem and he helped with Amos. It is just a snowball effect right now.
