Umm...truly legit grad transfers are rare. Bama has enough competition. Not sure I agree that Bama would reel in dudes who want certain playing time. Grad transfers likely cherry pick their destination based on playing time expectations. How often does Bama truly NEED a certain position. It'd be a risky venture unless Bama has the graduate degree someone covets. I'm sure there will be some, but few and far between.

Good grief I'm so tired of the media bowing down to Saban and Alabama. It is sickening. He is the most selfish crybaby college football has ever seen.

Bama doesn't have degrees. Those guys don't go to class.

Lol dude you act like Saban wouldn't have pursued an sec grad transfer if he wasnted them until now. He just hasn't had one he wanted or needed. It won't do much for him because he doesn't usually have easy wide open position available anyway. It's usually people not starting so why would they start at Bama

What about Coker or the WR from Bowling Green?

Let's see,

"made it easier for Alabama to poach a plug-and-play cornerback from Kentucky or a right guard from Vanderbilt."

"Alabama has had to search far and wide in the past to obtain graduate transfers - Richard Mulhaney (Oregon State) and Gehrig Dieter (Bowling Green) are two recent examples - but can now double-benefit by nabbing an impact player away from a rival."

"If Alabama misses on a top target or two on National Signing Day, all it has to do is look around the SEC and target a graduating player at a position of need."

It sounds like Bama would be, how do you say, "improperly enticing" players to leave. Your words, not mine. But of course Bama would never do such a thing. I mean, Saban was so upset because he's convinced AU and UT did it.

The hypocrisy with you guys never ends.

Dieter should not have left BG, he probably cost himself some money by going to UA and disappearing because of their suck arse QB, and RB centric style that usually features just one WR. He probably would have continued to have insane stats at BG and gotten more notice.

Bama's kicker Andy Pappanostos was a grad transfer. Saban needed a kicker after failing to land one in the 2016 class. Ole Miss granted Pappanostos a full release and allowed him to transfer within the SEC, even though Bama and Ole Miss were SECW rivals. He had two years of eligibility left and didn’t have to sit out a year or appeal to the SEC.

S[FONT=&quot]aban is totally in favor of grad transfers within the SEC when it benefits Bama and totally against them when it benefits another school. Blatant hypocrisy.

Lol...Saban could crap his pants on the sidelines and his worshipers would be praising him as a genius for distracting the other team. Saban came out of this looking like the douche he is and now his cronies are doing damage control.

It also helps that almost every analyst on SEC Network either played for him or, as in Finebaum, worships the ground he walks on.
