Smh at tampering nonsense. This isn't normal circumstances. neidemeyer helped coach Kennedy the past yr or two assisting with OL. Easy for Kennedy to text him or something saying he wants to transfer here without us initiating contact

Agreed. I think it happens everywhere really and it's next to impossible to police. Reading what VQ said today I think it's clear Kirkland was tampered with as well. It's just part of the deal and no reason to get fired up about it

You are correct sir. (See my attachment) A player can write to a school. It also doesn't state what a graduate transfer can do once granted a release from the program. (Assuming once released he doesn't need permission from the coach to talk to schools) Edit: Since he had graduated he is no longer a full time student, so he shouldn't need written permission to talk to other schools, especially after being released.

Kennedy was a full-time student this spring, taking graduate courses. Also, it looks like the NCAA rules say that any coach contacted by a student-athlete about transfer opportunities must not discuss it with him without obtaining permission from his current school.

If UT is talking to Kennedy without permission from UA (which UA has not given) that constitutes tampering.

It appears there is a level of "understanding" between UT and Kennedy that doesn't pass the tampering smell test very well.

He graduated. No long a student at Alabama. He can talk to whoever he wants

He had already received a release from the Football team. So he could do whatever he wanted. To include talking to SEC schools. As long as he planned to sit out for a year. Since he didn't want to sit out for a year he asked Alabama to allow him to transfer to an SEC school and play immediately. They said no and took away his priviledges to talk to SEC teams and his priviledge to transfer to an SEC school and start immediately.

This has gotten boring. Whether it means the NCAA getting involved, or whatever, someone needs to make a definitive decision and take this young man's future out of limbo. My personal opinion is Little Nicky needs to nut up and do what's best for the player. Let him transfer somewhere he'll most likely start, even if it is UT or Auburn. Honor the promise every coach makes to a recruit about looking out for his future.

It's not quite that simple. Kennedy was a full-time student this spring, taking graduate courses. As far I know, he has not withdrawn from graduate school at UA. Also, it looks like the NCAA rules say that any coach contacted by a student-athlete about transfer opportunities must not discuss it with him without obtaining permission from his current school. That's not to mention what the SEC rules might state about such contact.

I'm not entertaining your continued posts. All you have to do is accurately read what I have already posted.

I honestly think you should be banned from posting since, you continue to make false claims without any information to back it up.

I specifically said that he was a graduate transfer and being such he was granted a release. This release allows him to talk to any football team he wants because he is graduated and is no longer a part of the football team.

The only issue with Kennedy was the fact that he wanted to start at an SEC school immediately and per the SEC you have to apply for a waiver.

Alabama denied this waiver. Then they blocked him from talking to any SEC schools.

So how about you read a little bit and present actual facts instead of hearsay.

Correct.


Even a guy like Jack Jones for us that has said his career is over would need a release before another school could contact him.

Same think with Butcher that was a grad transfer who is going to Kennesaw State

Other schools have to get written permission to talk

Can't believe he keeps acting as if they don't.

Like Saban, Pruitt is familiar with going around the rules. Keep throwing that Hail Mary. :)

And as I have told you over and over you are 100% wrong.

The rule you posted proved it.

Any school needs a written release specific to them to talk to any transfer. Doesn't matter if it's graduate or not

Why would you need written permission to talk to a team if you no longer belong to the team because you were released? Explain that?

You are talking like he was still a part of the Alabama team but he wasn't because he received his released you Dolt.

It doesn't matter. This stuff literally happens every week when players transfer. Coaches/players can talk to third parties who can relay the message. Seriously, it happens all of the time.

Can't believe you guys are this serious over the issue. If it was the other way, I guarantee you wouldn't care.

Bama players driving around in cars they couldn't possibly afford doesn't pass the "smell" test either, but punishment doesn't seem forthcoming so I'm gonna roll with "who cares?"

Stop being petty. I mean, I could understand your injured glute if he was a starter, but he's a back up for Bama. Why the hell stand in the way of his dreams? Are you afraid he somehow helps us beat y'all this year? Have you seen the state of our team? I honestly do not see that happening.
