Oh and Saban signs an EIGHT year extension

Curious where that pushes Urban's and coaches in the tier just below to...

 

[Trey Bantz]

I don't think Richt wanted him to stay tbh

The next man up is ? 

N'Kosi Perry

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Perry

Richt better wait until Game 1 to name Perry the starter so Rosier doesn't transfer

I was actually curious if the NCAA shut that loophole down. I know they wanted to in this rules sesh, but I can't see anything about it.

What's the Blake Barnett rule?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Barnett withdrew from Bama after the season started and still was able to transfer to ASU and become immediately eligible this year, NCAA approved it.

 

[newbs24]

That judge roasted Strong

 

[Bobby Layne]

What's the Blake Barnett rule?

 
According to bylaw 14.5.6 in the NCAA transfer guide, Barnett as a 4-2-4 transfer (four-year institution, to a junior college, and back to a four-year institution), can be eligible one calendar year from the date of his transfer from Alabama so long as he graduates with a GPA above 2.5 over an average of 12 hours per term at the certifying institution of Barnett's choosing.

That's a situation that happens frequently pre- and post-semester. The timing of Barnett's transfer is what makes him a possible trailblazer: He'd be eligible to play the conference schedule at his next destination.

Essentially, because Barnett already has so many credits from Alabama—he enrolled early, so he has even more than the typical redshirt freshman—he could graduate from junior college in less than a year, then be ready to play for his new team by this time next year. 247Sports also spoke to another source who thinks Barnett would be eligible at the start of next season, rather than five games in.

This is a rule EE QB's are going to feast on when they don't win a job their first two years on campus, or can't even win the backup spot. 

Martell is the guy I see using this rule next if he ends up being the third stringer at OSU next season. 

 

[witnesskb24]

I could definitely see Martell doing that

Like I said, as talented as he is I just don't see him ever being the starting QB (unfortunately)

 

[D StaXX]

That judge roasted Strong

That judge can suck a ****.
She was completely out of line.
Besides that fact that he just got there, everyone knows Strong runs a tight ship.
2 players out of 85 guys mess up and he can't control his program.
Judge is obviously trying to make a name for herself. FOH.
