Link: Darius Hanks gets a year of eligibility back on appeal

[Bama323]

Big news...Darius Hanks is getting a year of eligibility back since he only played 14 snaps in one game in 07. That means we have him for two more seasons, since he will only be a Junior this year!

That's huge! I wonder how that changes recruiting for next year, if at all?

Man we are so stacked with talent!

 

[SavannahDare]

Awesome news! Congrats to Darius.

That is some great news.

Hanks directly credits CNS for going to bat for him with the appeal. Complicated I suppose about changes in the rule, SEC vs. Non0conference games, blah, blah, blah.

Either way, great news for us and this young man. By my count we have 8 seniors on this team (Earle or someone correct me if that's wrong). I know we will lose some underclassmen to the draft (assuming there is an NFL season next year) but that's a very interesting number, I would think, for the sitting national champion and preseason #1.

Congrats Darius !!

He sure is exciting to watch..I love to see him make a great catch, jump up and give the first down signal....love it !

ROLL TIDE !!:BigA:

It will be interesting to see how many juniors go pro. Could be some kind of record.

No kidding. In retrospect, that '08 class will probably be one of, if not THE best class ever at Alabama.

And congrats to Darius. Was this a surprise? I didn't even realize his appeal was in the works.

 

[BamaRevT]

Man thats great !

 

[silentsam74]

I think this is great. Glad he didn't end up wasting that year. Good to see players win appeals like this when you know its a guy that will probably put that extra year to good use.

 

[Black Warrior]

I'm liking this. DH can be as big a force as Maze this year. You know Julio's gonna get doubled constantly. Congrats on another year of eligibility. RTR

There are 15 Seniors on the 104 man roster which does not count Hanks and with Star removed thus 104 man roster! :BigA::BigA::BigA:

Our program is looking good due to "the process." Congrats Hank!

 

[BAMAFEVER50]

this will make him A LOT of money. He has shown great improvement every year.
