'15 AL OL Brandon Kennedy

[BloomuVol]

Uh, UGA wasn't on their schedule. UT is. If you're not considering that caveat, you're not paying attention.

What does he add to an advantage that the rest of the staff that came from bama doesn't?

 

[HialeahGator]

Rumor is Auburn will have a Medical DQ announced soon. They'll have a scholarship available for Kennedy in case the SEC rules in his favor.

I'm sure we have one too

 

[Mightyvol]

it's not my logic. i'm not saying it's their logic. just that we don't know what those other factors were, and how they'd be different in this situation.

the only thing we know that's the same is...he's from Bama, he's graduated, and he wants to go to another SEC school.

did you miss the part where i said he should be able to go where he wants in the post you quoted??????????????

Ok your assumption (speculation or guess), of the their possible assumed factors or non factors based on cross divisional or divisional play has flaws. It is impossble, except by completely banning graduate transfers from transferring within the SEC, to ensure graduate transfers will not compete against their prior team.

i'm not speculating or guessing...i'm not pretending to know what those factors are/were.

and no where did i get the place you arrived at about dissallowing transfers w/in the conf.

if you really can't get that all i'm saying is "we don't know what those other factors were, and if those factors are different/absent in this situation, it could render a different outcome" then that's on you.

i think the kid should be able to go wherever he wants. he's fulfilled his obligation to Alabama, and should be free to choose on his own.

but i don't get to make that call. so we wait.

That why I think the hold up is making sure he doesn't go to auburn. Bama probably wants it to be in writing that can't transfer within division but can within conference

If the two options are UT and AUB I'm not sure why that would matter to them. We're both on the schedule every year.

Auburn can act as a tiebreaker to SECCG, more unlikely for Vols to be a tie breaker.

 

[RedstoneVol]

Does Auburn even really need him?

They’re lacking at interior OL. He’d start.

Because auburn is their biggest rival and on same side of conference and bigger threat at moment

 

[BruinVol]

But the rules shouldn't see those "lines"

If he is able to go to one he should the other imo

If graduating earns a reward it earns it imo

Everyone. Walk. Away.

So this guy going to be a Vol by the end of the week or what ?

 

[BruinVol]

I agree with Saban. If the SEC approves this the rule Needs to be removed permanently

Saban is such a douchecanoe.

Of course you agree with Saban.

Some of these other guys aren't having issue inside conference like nick king. I think Saban just deflecting.

I think the rule should be that a graduate can transfer anywhere except within divison like TN player can't go to Florida, UGA, etc but can go to LSU, Bama etc

Whatever they decide it needs to be the rule. No reason for it to always cause controversy.

 

[Weezer]

Of course you agree with Saban.

I actually agree with Saban as well, if his summation of the rule is correct. Does the SEC rule on transfers differentiate between normal transfers and graduate transfers? If a player has not graduated and seeks to transfer, I'm not against a school being able to set restrictions on where they can and cannot transfer to. In the case of grad transfers though, I feel they have lived up to their scholarship conditions, and therefore, if they want to leave, they should be able to do so without restriction. I think there should exist a distinction between a transfer and a grad transfer. Again, have not looked at the rule myself, but Saban seems to suggest there is an umbrella rule covering all transfers. If that's the case, it should be changed, imo.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Of course you agree with Saban.

Why...why...why do you freakin argue with him when it has been proven literally thousands of times by now that he is nothing but a garbage contrarion troll? There is zero honesty in him. He defaults to the contrarion view immediately. You are a intelligent and respected poster, how can you or anybody that has been here for long enough to know his schtick entertain him by engaging? I do not understand it at all.

Well, if u do all that, u might as well include the non-rotating opponent, oops, uh, that wouldn't help.

But it's all for naught, whether Saban likes it or not or whoever. Kennedy will be a Vol

Good post

It's my understanding that the SEC has a cut and dry rule that grad transfers can't transfer within the conference.

That should either be the rule or not imo
