He needs to go to the Big 12. Defense is against the rules in that conference.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
Don't like him staying in the SEC. If I didn't like A&M before, I really won't like them now. I know it's business, but dang...

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
Thank you; this link answered a lot of my questions but just underlined others. As a 4-2-4 he can graduate and play next year but only starting Sept.30. This just seems bizarre to me as far as strategy. I mean, a buddy of mine who was as uninformed about the transfer rules as I was had suspected that maybe BB had nearly or enough credits for an Associate's so he'd enroll in Cali at a Juco that was on the quarter system. He'd get his degree and transfer to a school in spring to try to win a starting job in Fall with no loss of time. Maybe even able to apply for med redshirt if needed later since he only played in 1/4 of this season's games?
Now, it appears he will have to win a job somewhere while a team is forced to start a back-up for the first 3-4 games? Just don't see how this is any kind of reasonable plan. Only can speculate that he lost the locker room here at 'Bama. I know building an offense around the skills of Hurts makes Bateman a more logical "fit" as a back-up but if Jalen goes down, we'll probably be in need of a comeback win. A great passer could be the hero.
Just don't get the strategy unless he felt his team mates and coaches were writing him off anyway. Seems like a HUGE mistake.

IMO the NCAA is enabling a crop of spoiled brats who can just pick up their toys and go somewhere else when they don't get their way

Obviously a good education is not one of his goals. That may come back to haunt him in a big way.

And this route is only available to players who can afford to drop out and pay their own way to junco for a semester.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
No one will remember where he went to JUCO. His degree put on resumes will be that of the school which he attends next. Not sure how you think that this will hurt his future. He is a rich kid from a wealthy family. He is going to be just fine.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
A semester at a juco isn't that expensive. Especially if you consider most people live close to one so they could live at home.
But now he won't be done with his juco until May, so he will miss spring practice. Is some coach going to have spring drills with his starting QB not even on campus?

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
Not if the JUCO is on the quarters system. Should mean he'll be able to graduate and enroll in January.

The thread was started on 9/28. We play Ole Miss on 9/30 next year. Maybe Dodd is saying he's going to OM? He would be eligible to play that game if so...

Assuming they don't have an early open date, that would be their fifth game.

OM may not have much of a football program left by then.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
One of the articles posted on here said he will graduate in May. I have no idea how the juco he is at operates or what his schedule is.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
A&M is the following week. 247 said yesterday he'd already been contacted by TAMU. More logical because I'm not sure Barnett beats out Shea Patterson in Oxford.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
If this is true, leaving in the middle of the season would have been a total waste of time, so I am hesitant to believe it.

You're right. Looking at the 247 article I posted yesterday:

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring
He had 1 1/2 years to learn and win the job here, and couldn't. Yet he plans to presumably walk in to a Power 5 team next summer, win the job, sit out 4 games, then start?
How disillusioned can you be?

This makes even less sense now.
