Looks like Sonny Semeatu is looking to transfer

Post by Irse »

That's too bad I was hoping he could be a real contributor in the future.

Just realized that his last name is Semeatu but UH media shows "Parents are Sonny Seamatu of Ili'ili, American Samoa and Louise Semetau of 'Ewa Beach, O'ahu." :-?

All the best to him in finding a D1 school looking for a 6'0" Dlineman

Fall Semester started less than 1 month ago....so probably unrelated to academics....since he'd still need to be academically eligible in order to transfer to an FBS or FCS program....unless going to a JC.

With the new NCAA transfer portal rules (that just became effective this month), he can't enter the transfer portal (nor are FBS or FCS programs allowed to legally recruit him) until December 2022.

He's buried on the depth chart and the extra weight has slowed him down, so he's looking for a new opportunity. Good luck, Sonny.

Without any game tape his chances of landing are slim getting into a decent program.-

He might want to transfer to an FCS school if he wants more playing time.

I remember the Vanderbilt HC kicking 2 players off his team shortly after the game with the Warriors. Both players I thought were forever ostracized and left in the cold as this information was publicized. My question to Chang is if he is faced with terminating a players scholarship for whatever reason (i.e., grades, violations of team/school rules or even the HC's prerogative of trimming the fat from his roster) would he choose to keep it quiet and let the player preserve his dignity instead of throwing said player under the bus and let the player submit his resignation/save face and go on his way/enter the transfer portal.

TC is a class act, has been a college athlete, college coach and is trying to rebuild the culture, so he'd never air dirty laundry on a player. Remember this kid is only one yr removed from HS.

Half of the team should (want) transfer because they want that playing time. Including Brayden Schager. He was hand picked by Todd Graham to be the next starting QB (and CC knew that.) And now we don't even know if he will start, and debatable. Brayden Schager is the best example of Todd Graham Texas football. But there's a new boss in town.

The old saying of work hard, learn, and maybe you get to play in your senior year is not going to work. IMO, the mentality is if I don't get playing time, I out...

"There is no way, no chance, that others are better than me."

Brayden Schrager has been hurt the past two weeks. Know the facts before starting up this garbage.

Yes he has been hurt, but I don't think UH settled on a starting QB yet, hurt or not. Brayden Schager is not convincing as the starting QB.

As for this garbage, true. I'm sure half of the team feel they should start. If they are not getting playing time, and they believe they should, they may be eyeing the transfer portal. That's looking out for themselves. As much as we believe there is no I in Team, there is a capital I when you spell it out.

Without any playing time, stats or game tape, maybe a junior college might be the best route to get playing time.
