Steven Threet Reportedly Transferring to Arizona State

A couple months ago, Steven Threet decided to leave Michigan. The quarterback started eight games for the Wolverines a year ago, but was obviously not a good fit for new coach Rich Rodriguez and the spread offense he brought from West Virginia.

Threet took his time looking over his options, and he found some potential suitors who still ran some sort of pro-style offense.

Threet made up his mind, according to ESPN's Joe Schad. After visiting Arizona State over the weekend, he's going to transfer there.
Threet also considered Oregon State but developed a relationship with the Arizona State coaching staff and had an excellent visit over the weekend.
This is a good spot for Threet, who will be eligible for the 2010 season, when he'll be a fourth-year junior.

Michigan just wasn't going to work out. While Rodriguez appears set on using a freshman quarterback in 2009, Threet would have wasted a year of eligibility on the bench. Yes, he loses a year by transferring, but he has a better chance of playing in Tempe than he ever would in Ann Arbor.
