Trickett had wanted to transfer before the spring

I had seen a tweet about this, but just found an article on it to verify it. Apparently Clint Trickett had planned to transfer last winter after the fall semester, and had taken an 18 hour load in the fall to try to make it happen. The class load at 18 hours along with being the backup QB was too much, and he didn't pass all 18. Clint's reason for that timing: "Things were uncomfortable down there with Dad being on the staff" He also talks about West Virginia being his first choice out of high school, but not getting an offer at that time because the WVU offense at the time and his skills were not a match.
