Bump . . . it's getting close to decision time for Malik Zaire. Someone should start a countdown clock! ;-)

It's after mid-April and still no word . . . perhaps, he's decided to declare for the NBA draft. It's been reported that he was a star in basketball in high school and was considered to have "NBA talent."

Or, maybe both!

He was a high school QB and pretty good one. This is BA out-of-the box thinking at its finest!

Sounds reasonable. Why would they change a requirement to a lower standard?

If he wants to play, he needs to come here. We have a spot and some fast wide receivers for him to throw to. If he loses the competition at Florida, he has no shot at the NFL.

Hurd to Baylor. He has to sit out next year since he isn't a graduate transfer.

that is a god move for him a 6'4"tailback will get killed in the NFL. It is amazing that Eddie george still has legs.

And Zaire isn't deciding until April. So Morris and Zaire are out, then.

We can piece together more clues. If it were Rourke the tweets would have mentioned his name (no reason to be cagey about a guy who has already signed). We also know it's got to be a big name to merit "Christmas came early." Plus, it must be a current junior or senior to make the grad transfer possible. Finally, since it hasn't been made public already, it's likely the QB's team is still playing.

Put all that together and...it can only be Deshaun Watson. When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.


At the time of the tweet, Zaire had not yet given his mid-April timeline.

There have been many rumors. The legitimacy of these rumors is widely debated across the Bobcat nation.


I've seen crazier things happen.

A big football transfer sure would make the Simmons transfer a little easier to take, but I'm not counting on it.

Considering that the most direct evidence that Zaire is considering us is that he liked one of Simmons' tweets, we might as well assume Zaire is going to Michigan as well.

Safe assumption, but we might want to have Buckeye to Bobcat check his inside sources before assuming anything, ever again.

We can finally send this thread to Siberia. Zaire announces his list is down to Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, and Harvard.

Ah. I think you found the one flaw in my otherwise perfect reasoning. That explains why Deshaun declared for the draft.

That's "code talk" for Harvard on the Hocking! How could you be so blind to not figure that one out? You're usually so much more perceptive . . .

Agreed. If anything, I'm more convinced now that Ohio will be Zaire's landing spot.

NEVER! "Zaire to ___________" is the new "TOS to _____________" but for player transfers instead of head coaches.
