That would suck

This came straight from Bama athletic Dept...And Yes it Does!

James Andrews has to tell them he is good to go and its a done deal.

[smootness]

Eh. This makes them better, but I don't think it drastically changes anything. He doesn't fit what they want to do on offense.

Great runner, mediocre passer. I don't think he'll be any better in that offense than Sims was.

[Dawg496]

He's going to be eligible this fall? How is that legal?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I'll believe it when I see him run out on Bryant-Denny Stadium with an Alabama jersey on. If he was set on transferring why not transfer in January when he could've had all spring to learn the offense & let his new school doctor's monitor his shoulder & progress. Furthermore if he was going to transfer to Alabama it would've made that much more sense to transfer in January so he could see Dr. Andrews on a daily basis if need be. Consider me skeptical on the whole matter because it made no sense to stay at Ohio St. this semester for virtually no reason if he was going to transfer. Why wait another 6 months?

Maybe its an NCAA thing where he had to graduate to be immediately eligible this fall?

He had to get his degree to be eligible this year .

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He had to get his degree to be eligible this year .

He graduated in December.

[Coach34]

Could have planned on staying and competing for the QB job- but no guarantee of starting. Saw Bammer's Spring Game. Bammer's "network" makes it worth his while? Saban sends word he'll get the QB job?

Lots of things could have happened. I just hope it isnt true.

He knew he would be out for spring because he hadn't been cleared for football drills. He still hasn't been cleared. Again never say never but I'll believe it when I see it.

Because you're in Ala-17ing-bama.

I mean, this article was just published yesterday: http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/05/18/braxton-miller-ohio-state-transfer-gene-smith-buckeyes?xid=si_social

[Jack Lambert]

He graduated .

He sat out last year due to injury. I guess that counts as sitting out. I am beginning to think some schools in the SEC can't develop QB's.

Must be some fire with the smoke if they are comming out speaking on the subject.

I am sure Saban has a tough time getting players to produce at a high level when he has to deal with 3 5* guys coming out of high school every year to choose from. Bama is a bunch of dbags. Sorry Tusk.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Wouldn't OSU have to agree to release him to Alabama?

I mean why would they do this? I understand if he went somewhere smaller, but surely they wouldn't give a weapon to another national championship contender right ?

He's graduated he'd be free to go wherever he chose.

Braxton is soft, bring it BAMMERS...

so, one is a dbag if he decides to play at bammer, or most bammer fans are dbags?

i'm uncertain as to what you mean....

[TUSK]

what I heard was that Trey Depriest and Miller are buddies.... and that Miller has been in the area a lot lately to get Doc James to fix his knee...

i think it's cooincidental... although, i'd take the cat in a heartbeat

Not sure about the players, but the fans.............

[Dawgbite]

So why is Bama even on Ole Miss's QB transfer merry go round? Have they missed on some recruits? Do the best QB's not want to be game managers and are choosing the flashy spread programs? I just don't understand why Bama doesn't have better QB's than 90% of the rest of the NCAA sitting on the bench waiting on their turn.

FWIW, I have attended games at both places and I'll take a Tusk over an OP4 any day of the week.

[HSVDawg]

Can someone explain how this doesn't fall under the Masoli rule? Isn't this pretty much the exact same situation that guys like Masoli and Brandon Maye took advantage of to keep from sitting out? I know the SEC passed a rule after Maye got here that stated players had to have at least two years of eligibility remaining to transfer into any SEC school without sitting.

ETA: Sorry, I missed that the SEC lifted this rule last year. Can't have anything get in the way of a potential natty run by one of the traditional powers in the SEC. Of course as soon as State, Ole Miss, or Kentucky takes advantage of this it will all the sudden be banned again.

they amended the rule to allow grad transfers with certain requirements to meet. such as no history of suspension/discipline and that's why Golson can't come but Miller can, if he chooses

[Pollodawg]

Miller would make them instantly better. However, at long last that friggen freak WR they had graduated, so I am still relieved about that.

He didn't graduate. He was just too good to stay for 4 years.

He would make them instantly better if they re-tool their entire offense to a full spread read option offense. Passing has never Miller's strength but he's 1 of the most dynamic runners at QB the last 5-10 years in college football.

[thf24]

If they kept their offense the same as last year, I don't think he'd even be as effective as late-season Sims was. He'd no doubt make a lot of plays scrambling though.

I didn't think about that, but you're right as usual. I don't see Saban letting Kiffin do that.

At any rate, he's gone finally. :D
