The other guy who really stands out to me is Miller (far left). He is a lot lot bigger than I expected.

365 by who was that? Kaiser?
365 lb squat clean. Pretty pretty solid. Who is it?
We always talk about how the new S&C is going to make a huge difference. I believe that talk is actually correct this time because of the wild philosophical change.
The linemen are definitely happy with the new approach. Look like they're making significant gains, too.
The actual physical change in Isaac Miller has me convinced.
He looks like he ate the Isaac Miller who signed with CU.
Funny.

Notre Dame TE Alize Jones academically ineligible for 2016 season. No word on the status of their backup TEs, Hennessy and Courvoisier.
He's from Sugar Land, TX. Tumpkin should get on this one. Could use Bama's starting NB. He and Chido could mix it up.
How can Alabama do anything to stop it? He graduated. He is no longer under any obligation to them.
Wasn't there an SEC vote about in-conference grad transfers? I remember some bitching about the issue.
They need to complete some paper work, which they're not willing to do at this time.
That seems like a good rule to me.
I think the big issue is not only losing a starter to a conference foe, but kids being able to follow their former coach to another school without penalty. CFB is not bettered by this sort of "free agency". Imagine Tupou and Chido deciding to play their SR year with Leavitt at our conference foe. We'd be pissed.
IF they graduated then the school needs to shut the f*** up. The one time a kid works hard to give himself options of where he wants to play and the coach/school limits those opportunities. No school has any right to tell one of their players where they can and can't transfer when they work their ass off, play 3 to 4 years, and graduate.
If this is a conference rule, I think it's fine. It's to prevent kids from transferring (en masse?) from UCLA to USC for example for their Senior year. The reality is that if this kid wasn't a starter, and he was transferring from Alabama to Vanderbilt, they'd probably approve it. But following Kirby Smart to a conference Rival? I can see a conference wanting to limit that. Kid has another 110 or so options.
Yeah and it's a dumb rule considering the SEC is the only conference that supports this stupidity. Cal lost a grad transfer starter to STANFORD last year and didn't put on a public bitch fest like these schools do. Georgia just went through a similar issue when they wouldn't let a running back grad transfer to Miami to follow Richt but when they are going to benefit from the same rule then they are all over it. It's complete BS.
Wait. You mean to tell me there's hypocrisy in college football???

You keep saying that, but the point is that this kid graduated, so all responsibilities on both sides should be over.

Saban and Smart have taken that to new levels with their pettiness about transfers this offseason, however. Like the first week Smart was at UGA i saw a report that said the players weren't allowed to transfer to Miami.
And we aren't even touching on the fact that Saban has broken at least 3 contracts to move onto another job in his career here.

But he knows what's best, at least that's his line to the mom:
“The university is continuing to be resistant to any request to release my son. That’s where we are,” Samyra Smith said. “In (Saban’s) mind, the best decision is for him to stay here. And he doesn’t think anything other than that is best for the kid.”
