'12 PA RB Rushel Shell (Pitt Signee; Transfer to West Virginia)

[southcampus]

Shell isn't going anywhere. Tony Dorsett has offered to help out the program in any way he can, whatever that means.

Young guys don't look at Tony Dorsett the same way people over 30 do.

Shell does considering he played at the same high school as Dorsett did.

Pitt running back Rushel Shell is expected to transfer, according to multiple outlets, including finestpreps.com, a West Virginia quarterback and Gregg Gianotti of Pittsburgh's 93.7 FM. The former five-star recruit was first rumored to be on his way out of Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning after he didn't show up to Tuesday's spring practice.

First Neal and now Shell? You're kidding. /sarcasm

Yeah that's cool.....I didn't need that boost in my fantasy team.

You do if he is your quasi-uncle and you played on a field named after him in high school...both of which happen to be the case here.

He's transferring from Milan to Minsk.

Pitt confirms RB Rushel Shell will transfer

Rushel Shell's transfer a puzzling move

Perhaps it is really just as simple as he didn't like the coaching staff. Or his other teammates. It isn't fair to force a 19 year old to stay on a team that he didn't really like being around. As much as I want him to stay, best of luck to him in wherever he goes.

Just heard on college football live that he could be heading to arizona st to follow his former coach. Thought he always wanted to stay close to western PA since he has a kid and a baby mama there.

Meanwhile, another external conflict: The University of Pittsburgh recently blocked a freshman running back, Rushel Shell, from transferring to ASU or Arizona.

Shell originally was recruited to Pittsburgh by Graham, who famously left the Panthers after one season. The hard feelings still linger, so much that Pittsburgh apparently is taking out its frustration on a student-athlete.

That?s pig-headed and wrong. Normally, schools don?t block players from transferring out of conference, especially if it?s to another part of the country. But Pittsburgh would rather break protocol than contribute to Graham?s program in Tempe.

Patterson said he can?t comment much on this matter, which is under appeal. He said that he and Graham initially agreed not to contact any Pittsburgh coaches or players for 120 days, and they have fulfilled that commitment.

That is not very nice IMO I can see them blocking a transfer to a school in the same conference or perhaps a Big Ten school but just because a assistant coach went to a school in a state they block the entire state:crazy:

Didn't realize he had an option. I thought his baby-mama was in Pittsburgh.
