Unless a processing error occurs, the transfer portal seems like a rather quick, efficient way for players to move freely and land at the school they wish. The process repeats itself at each opening.<\/p>\n
A player will obtain permission from his departing school and head into the portal, where he hopes a school on the other end will make him a suitable offer. After that, everything should start running smoothly. However, that is not currently the case for Rahsul Faison.<\/p>\n
Plucked from the portal after two seasons at Utah State, where he ran for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns, Faison thought he would be lining up in the Gamecocks\u2019 backfield. According to On3.com<\/a>, the NCAA granted him the ability to participate in practice.<\/p>\n Still, head coach Shane Beamer, in the same article, said the NCAA hasn\u2019t contacted him about the rusher\u2019s availability to start the season. \u201cSouth Carolina Sideline\u201d host Matt Dowell discusses the issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cWhy is he practicing if we don\u2019t know if he will play? It\u2019s not fair to Faison,\u201d Dowell said. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair to the Gamecocks. And again, this is why people get frustrated with the NCAA and their leadership; it\u2019s just like making a decision.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s your job, and do right by these kids. It\u2019s unfair to him as a player to sit and play this waiting game. I\u2019m glad they cleared him to practice, but if you\u2019re clearing him to practice, that means you think he should play, because what\u2019s the point?\u201d<\/p>\n According to Ourlads<\/a>, Faison would sit atop the South Carolina running back depth chart when he becomes active to play. Dual-threat quarterback LaNorris Sellers needs a sound running game to balance<\/a> his ability to throw and use the RPO.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Faison presents the quality threat required. Last year, the Gamecocks ranked 35th in the nation in rushing offense<\/a> with 184.3 yards per game. That number also stacks Beamer\u2019s charges, the fourth-best rushing attack in the SEC.<\/p>\n South Carolina plays Virginia Tech in Atlanta on Aug. 31. While Faison waits for word, he will practice, which will help the team. Yet, the length of the delay places a dark cloud over the program.<\/p>\n
