rockfordpi 91 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Heard the announcers saying today that SC RB Kenny Miles had graduated from SC and might be looking to transfer somewhere for Grad School. Doesn't want to spend his SR year on the bench behind ML. Has anyone heard if AU is a possibility? I hope Dyer comes back, but if he doesn't it would sure be nice to add another experienced RB. Miles looked pretty good today vs Nebraska. Since he is still enrolled at SC, I don't think AU coaches can (or would) contact him due to NCAA rules. However, I don't think it would be illegal if an AU fan posted on his facebook page or sent him a letter congratulating him for graduating early.

skeeter1951 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't think we want or need a one year running g back! Doesn't make any sense to me. He would come to Auburn and ride the bench too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of the new SEC recruiting rules no SEC teams can use the NCAA graduate exception to have a player for 1 year. He will have to play in a different conference.

I'm glad the SEC tightened some of the scholarship/recruiting rules; however, I think in an effort to lead the way and compensate for the ridiculousness of guys like Houston Nutt's oversigning we went too far.

You are exactly right, we probably did. Does the Big 10 have a hard cap of 25? And no matter how tough the rules, you'll always have coaches like N Saban who will get around them anyway.

And no matter how tough the rules, you'll always have coaches like N Saban who will get around them anyway. No and neither does yje SEC. We have a soft 25 cap. In the new rule teams can sign over 25 and use what us called an initial qualifier exemption to slot a player in the previous class if the team did not sign 25 the previous year. The Big 10 does not have a signing limit rule. The NCAA adopted the old SEC 28 rule last year and is in affect for all conferences. The SEC has submitted its soft 25 rule to the NCAA also and it will likely be adopted next seasonby the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Miles only got to play because Lattimore was hurt...he's not in the class with our up and coming young backs. As noted, we have some bright young talent with or without MD returning. I think RB is the least of our concerns for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says academic integrity like telling someone whose graduated they can't transfer out of a bad position into a better one.

I think OMac is going to leave if he gets a good grade. And I for one don't blame him. As an undersized RB making it this long in the SEC is an achievement. RBs have a limited shelf life. As long as he can make money I suggest he does it. He can always come back to AU and finish his degree after the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went way too far with imposing limits, IMO.

AUSWEN 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They made the changes with the intention of others following the leader... but I worry that all it will do is give the other conferences a chance to catch up to the SEC in talent.

Just asking A VW Beetle is not going to run over a Hummer, no matter how much the VW beetle wants to. Omac is never going to be able to run over a lineman or linebacker. Physics is Physics and no real need to take a hit just to show you are not afraid to take a hit. Now if he is running out of bounds to keep from being hit by a cornerback or free safety, that is another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
