blueridge 29 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 AL.com is reporting that UA C Brandon Kennedy wants to transfer to either Auburn or Tennessee, but UA is trying to prevent him from transferring within the SEC. He has 2 years of eligibility remaining. Is Kennedy someone Auburn would be interested in landing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I thought they just did away with restrictions on transfers. Besides, since he graduated, he ought to have no restriction anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) They can block a within conference transfer unless the guy wants to go a year without scholarship aid. One bammer kid threatened a lawsuit and somehow got to go to UGA but I don't think that case is going to be repeated. B ) We have signed 25 for the 2018 class so we don't have room anyway.

It’s because all of a sudden, people in tbe media (possibly pushed by Georgia) were throwing hissy fits at how unfair the blocked transfer appeared to be which wasn’t giving Bama good optics, so they decided to save face and sign off on it. That’s the way it appeared anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, but...we are FULL and in any case UAT will NOT grant a waiver. Maybe if he ends up at Michigan or OSU we can guesstimate that he was pretty good.

Cardin Drake 1,827 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Chances are he wins his appeal. Back up center at Bama. Area of need for us right now. I have a feeling we'd find a way to take him if he wants to come, and the SEC lets him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 If UAT if keeping Kennedy from transferring to Auburn, he could report them to the NCAA. I didn't think schools could stop a player from leave school and transfer to another. Didn't the NCAA change that rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
