LSU Blocks Former QB Justin McMillan From Transferring To SEC Schools

by Staff Reporter

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Former LSU quarterback Justin McMillan has been reportedly blocked from transferring to SEC schools and any teams that are currently on the Tigers schedule for the next two years. Per The Advocate:

quote:
McMillan said he was informed Wednesday by an SEC school, which he would not disclose, that his recruitment had been halted because of the block.

McMillan said he "knew he was going to get blocked from the SEC West," but he thought he was under the impression he might play for other SEC schools.

McMillan’s transfer release document from LSU, obtained by The Advocate Wednesday, blocked McMillan from transferring to schools “in the SEC and those on (LSU’s) current schedule the next two years.”

McMillan graduated from LSU this summer making him eligible immediately with two seasons left to play.

I don't see anything wrong with LSU blocking him from other SEC schools and teams on their schedule for 2 years. It gives the competition access to our playbook and can be used against us. He can go to plenty other schools outside the SEC and be successful. After the way he shunned the current coaches in his departure statement, who's to say he can be trusted? Good on LSU. Good luck to him elsewhere.

It would not be smart for LSU to let someone who knows their entire playbook go to another SEC school.

StupidBinder•69 months

Coaches are allowed to do precisely that all the time. It comes off as hypocritical

TaderSalad•69 months

McMillan made a business decision, just like LSU did. Got no issues with this.

voodooidotwo•69 months

Come on dude did you really think you were going to leave LSU high and dry and transfer to an SEC school? What an idiot.

Drizzt•69 months

If you are so hot to play in the SEC stay at LSU

rob62•69 months

What some of you don't get is that if a player is allowed to just freely transfer with no restrictions at all then there is no way to prevent continual recruiting of players after they have signed with a school. In fact have axsigning day at all if a player has continuous freedom to just pick up and leave to go elsewhere? You have a school like Bama cherry picking every team in the SEC and they would do it.

UAH_Tiger2•69 months

He graduated, he should be free to go wherever.

TaderSalad•69 months

Yes, he graduated, on LSU's dime. LSU has invested thousands of dollars into McMillan and reserves the right to restrict where he goes.

Old•69 months

standard practice as I understand it

Datbayoubengal•69 months

bullshite. This man has already graduated. If this were Bama you would have been acting a fool.

It's pretty typical to block transfers to a team in conference, but for Joe Burrow, Ohio State did not block transfer to an OOC opponent on the upcoming schedule. Cincinnati plays OSU in 2019 and Burrow could have returned to Ohio Stadium as their QB had he gone there, which I think might have been a plus to him.

Gee Grenouille•69 months

You think that wasn't a business move by Meyer? Throw as much competition at the SEC West as he can. Imagine a Playoff with Alabama not waltzing into it every year.

LSUDAN1•69 months

No problem with this.

Suck Out West•69 months

Yet coaches can leave to go coach at a school in the same conference.

MrKnowItAll•69 months

He graduated .... He should be able to go where he wants... He fulfilled his obligation to LSU.... Does Orgeron really think his new offense is that valuable and that somebody would sign this kid just to learn this offense?

Disgeaux Bob•69 months

Let the kid go wherever he wants !!

ready4something•69 months

I could see him playing at Vanderbilt.

Big Sway•69 months

How do you know it was Vandy?

vodkacop•69 months

My guess is kid is bitter, florida calls him up like the little bitches they are, and fills his head with lies about being a starter day 1. Or kid is just bitter and georgia knows it and is just playing on that emotion so they can use his knowledge.

Havoc•69 months

All the damn cryin up in here. Wish him good fortune but there’s plenty of other schools to play at besides SEC.

lsubuddy•69 months

I've always thought this is chicken s**t of a school to do. He's already graduated so Lsu shouldn't be able to anyway. Just don't agree with it at all

ExpoTiger•69 months

Not sure I like this. Kid graduated. He should be able to go wherever. It’s not like he didn’t want to play here.

dellis337•69 months

This is whack. He graduated and should be able to do what he wants.

biglego•69 months

Why not just block him from any school on the LSU schedule? Why a blanket block on SEC schools?

The Rodfather•69 months

Because in theory that would still make it possible to play against him in the SEC champ game.

foshizzle•69 months

It's just a standard noncompete agreement. I have one with my employer too. If you're a federal employee you can't work for a contractor doing business with your agency for a set period. There are perfectly good reasons for this sort of thing. If noncompetes didn't exist, it would be perfectly okay for any school to recruit from other teams at any time.
