Brandon Anderson Transfer?

Cal U opens football drills By Brian HermanVALLEY INDEPENDENT SPORTS EDITORSaturday, April 1, 2006 CALIFORNIA - California University football coach John Luckhardt will start his fourth spring practice this morning at Adamson Stadium. And it's no secret what the biggest question he'll keep being asked as the Vulcans try to better last year's 8-2 showing including 5-1 in the PSAC West. It's who's going to replace two-time All-American running back Antoine Bagwell? "We don't have an answer," said Luckhardt. "We may never have a player as good as Bagwell." Bagwell was good enough to run for 1,588 yards and score 25 touchdowns last season and play in the Hula Bowl three months ago against predominantly Division I players. While runners like Bagwell don't come along very often, Luckhardt isn't ready to push the panic button. "We were trying to go hard to get guys in here for competition," noted Luckhardt. "Instead of one guy, we may go by committee to try to replace Antoine." The "committee" consists of two holdovers and four newcomers. The returnees are sophomore Brandon Lombardy, redshirt sophomore ReMaro Rush and redshirt freshman Stefan Brinson, who had to sit out the 2005 campaign after transferring from Pitt. The trio rate high with their coach. "Lombardy had a heck of an off-season, Brinson is solid and Rush is our waterbug with his quickness," said Luckhardt. "They'll start off at the top of the list." Staying there, however, may not be easy with Daine Williams, Wendell Brown and Brandon Anderson around. Williams transferred from Howard University after running for over 4,000 yards at Beaver Falls High while Brown, a Pitt transfer, had over 3,000 yards and 41 touchdowns at Duquesne High and Anderson, an Akron transfer who starred at Penn Hills High.

Bummer, where did that come from? He played well last year. Guess he is closer to home, but not that much closer. And he played a lot last year so playing time should not be an issue. I wish him well.

I honestly don't think this is the right Brandon Anderson. For one Brandon Anderson didn't play at Penn Hills for high school. He is from a prep school in Virginia. Plus this article is talking about running backs and he is a Corner. He has also been practicing with the team for the first 2 weeks of spring practice. I think this may be a different Brandon Anderson.

I agree, it is a different Brandon Anderson. If I recall correctly there was a Brandon Anderson recruited by Lee Owens in his last class. This must be him?Odd coincidence.

I hope you guys are right. Anderson is a future All MAC corner

Then Shawn Anderson could be a younger brother?The Owens recruit (Brandon Anderson) probably is not going to make it under JB's regime and he can transfer to a 1AA school without sitting out - isn't the the deal on transfers?And, to boot, if Shawn is a younger brother - doesn't this make sense?
