'08 GA WR Joshua Jarboe (dismissed from Oklahoma, transfer to Troy)

[BuckeyeNation27]

looks like we'll be seeing more of DJ Jazzy Josh than we originally planned. Bama fans say he's on campus at Troy and it should be official soon. Taos is already worried.

ESPN - Former Sooners receiver Jarboe transfers to Troy - College Football

Jarboe, a freshman, was released by coach Bob Stoops earlier this month after a cell phone video that contained expletives and violent references made its way to YouTube. Oklahoma stuck by its commitment to Jarboe after he was expelled from his high school during his senior year of high school for bringing a weapon onto campus. ESPN rated Jarboe as the third-best receiver in this year's class. Jarboe, 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, was described by ESPN's Scouts Inc. as a "rare combination of size and speed." He had offers from more than 25 schools, including Ohio State and North Carolina.

interesting how offers from osu and unc are worked in as the only two named schools for a kid with 25+ offers...

I recall an offer from OSU as being the topic of debate. Did we actually do so?

well, ESPN said we did....so probably not.

Don't see how he could be eligible to play this year. Unless there is an exemption granted.

[methomps]

Likely he wasn't ever enrolled at OU.

I think it just shows the range of schools and obviously holding an offer from tOSU, like Oklahoma, shows the kid is top notch. It further validates ESPNs decision to rank him the third best WR...

[RB07OSU]

Yeah, that rap was horrible. I could "put a halo" around his rap game.

[Oh8ch]

Likely he wasn't ever enrolled at OU.

Once he signs an LOI it is up to the school and the NCAA.

[methomps]

The school can't refuse to honor his loi AND prevent him from going to another school.

[CleveBucks]

Most freshmen enroll for summer classes these days. At OSU I think everyone except Nathan Williams did.

looks like you were right.

Oklahoma Says Player Kicked Off the Football Team Is Actually a Transfer - NCAA Football FanHouse

According to Troy coach Larry Blakeney, Trojans wide receiver Josh Jarboe currently is not eligible to play this season after transferring from Oklahoma earlier this week.

Because OU told Troy officials that they didn't refuse him admission for the fall, Blakeney said, Jarboe is now being treated as a transfer student by the NCAA, with this season being his sit-out year.

Shucks!!! I was hoping we got a chance to play against him.

[methomps]

Way to be petty, OU.
