Who will be the last player to transfer out?

[WSUfan4ever]

Van Pelt chose to transfer for academic reasons and has found a pretty good situation ... Weber does not offer engineering.

Where on earth did you hear Weber State doesn't offer engineering? I have a friend currently in the engineering program

Not Mechanical, Electrical or Civil Engineering, check it out. They have "Technology" degrees but they are not mainstream degrees in Engineering.

I'll give you civil engineering, but Weber State does have mechanical and electrical engineering degrees. Bo Bolen was an electrical engineering major

The school he is transferring to is ranked 14th in the U.S. for engineering in some polls. Weber doesn't even crack the top 200. Whatever degrees Weber has are weak at best.

Good for Ryan. He is a smart kid and will get his education paid for. That is important and I'm hoping, if not sure, that the coaches helped him find a good fit for his talents and educational goals. As for Engineering...Weber does have Engineering degrees, and the E.E. program is highly respected, but if you want Mechanical or Civil, it is best to do the pre-engineering and transfer. As for schools Ryan could go to...I would say either Montana Tech or Colorado School of Mines? Both are very strong engineering programs. No matter, good luck to Ryan! What a good kid and hard worker.

My understanding is that Coach Smiley and Coach Rahe were very helpful. Ryan's bio says Mechanical Engineering so I am assuming that is what he is still pursuing. As Tal explained so well Weber is not the school that offers the best degree in this field. As for which school he is going to here is the link I found.

UCCS is a very strong DII program and I am excited that he will get his chance to play and earn a very strong degree.

Couldn't agree more with Webergrad02 about Hunter. This kid deserves a chance to develop. I have said this before and still believe it. This coaching staff sometimes pulls the trigger too quick. It is so easy to see a recruit's highlight film or high school stats and think that they will automatically develop into a great D1. It happened last year and will happen again this year. Last year nobody gave Ryan Richardson the time of day. It is much easier to project what a player like Hunter may do than it is to project a kid who has never played at this level.

Fact is this program needs some stability. I still say our success next year will ride on the shoulders of Joel, Jeremy, and Hill. After that only time will tell.

In case anyone is interested, here is Ryan's high school highlight video that was posted on YouTube. I came across it while I was trying find out where he was transferring. It was posted about a month ago, so I am guessing for recruiting purposes.

I have a pretty good idea about Goldon and Coston but will wait until I can confirm. Does anyone else have any information?

As of yesterday Golden and Coston are still unsigned.

Ryan Van Pelt is headed for D11 in Colorado. I really thought he might end up at Dixie.

Good luck to you Ryan. :nod:

Chris Golden is playing well at Colorado State-Pueblo. He had back-to-back 30+ games earlier this season.

Josh Fuller isn't playing bad either down at Dixie.
