So Kaufman and KD Johnson may have to sit out this next year?

If Saban gets his way, they will. That decision is going to be very interesting. Is the SEC willing to give Saban his way, at the cost of isolating itself from the rest of the conferences and possibly costing the SEC it’s recruiting edge? I think they decide to allow immediate eligibility, but if they don’t, it’s because they have decided to let Saban and Smart make the rules. Catering to one or two schools is how the big twelve got into the situation it’s in.

I'm pretty Saban is for changing the rules. Kirby is openly against it. 

Saban just got an elite LB he'd like to use this season. I think Nick's thoughts towards transfers has been pretty spot on. He's not worried about his good players leaving and better schools are just going to steal talent from the poo schools. A good but of our transfers fit thst profile.

Saban said he didn’t really care about the transfer rule and said if it’s implemented he’ll just use it to his advantage

I feel like I remember him wanting the players to sit a year. Maybe I’m wrong. Or maybe he’s changed his tune now that he has himself a prized transfer. Lol. Either way, I think they allow it, when it’s all said and done.

Here is an article on its Saban seeming to be anti immediate eligibility. But maybe he’s changed up his thinking, now that he can benefit from it.

Announcing Monday. Sounds like he already has his choice.

Who broke the story? Him or a site? 

Is assuming the SEC will chatheir rules or going out of conference?

I don’t think Saban wants it changed either. I believe he thinks he can get the transfers he wants without playing them this year but does want to lose any.

Close. He doesn't want to lose any he wants to keep.

They are. That’s one of the areas I thought we would have an advantage.

He's supposedly been talking with our coaches a lot. Some even said they've been talking X's and O's with him so he's not behind if he does choose to come here.

Probably wanted to let the teams know before making it public.
