    Default Alabama QB Jalen Hurts in NCAA transfer portal, can be contacted by other schools

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/reports...182839979.html

    I was surprised Saban didn't play him earlier against Clemson. I was actually surprised Saban didn't start him the 2nd half.
    I hope he doesn't go to another SEC school. I doubt he will.
    Good luck to him, he deserves it but doesn't need it.

    I see where he graduated so he could play next year as a grad student but I thought leagues had their own rules where no matter the circumstances if you transfer within the league you still had to sit out a year

    I think he coulda declared for the NFL draft and made some team's roster. But I'm sure this was a calculated decision by him.

    Not as a graduate student with some stipulations or to a lower division (FBS to FCS).

    The rule was changed about a year ago, I think. Once you graduate, if you transfer you can play right away. Hurts graduated in 3 years, and still has another year of eligibility. I hate to see him go, but I wish him all the best.

    It really didn't matter who was playing QB for Alabama on Monday. The last time someone in Alabama got spanked that bad was MLK, Jr. in the 1960s.

    We got our ass kicked, for sure. But the offense moved the ball. At least better than Notre Dame did. The passing and rushing yards are close for both Bama and Clemson. Getting in the red zone and not scoring killed us. But then, I was talking about Clemson defense (especially their D line) back in August or September.

    Inconsistent describes the Alabama offense on Monday. You gave a prime example of it describing the red zone.

    It's irrelevant what Notre Dame did. Different game, different game plan.

    Hate to break it to you but whether the total yards were similar or a night/day difference is also irrelevant. The score is the only thing that matters.

    In case you didn't know, the key player on the D-line for Clemson didn't play. I could have read what you posted about the Clemson defense but you felt it was necessary to thread ban me because you can't handle anyone saying anything negative about Alabama.

    Yea Hurt is not a big pro prospect and if you're going to make the jump to grad school they always advise you, from an academic standpoint, to enroll in another school. So he's not exactly transferring. He's graduating from an undergraduate program and matriculating into a graduate school. Best of luck to him. It's hard enough being an undergrad and obligated to an athletic scholorship. It won't get any easier for sure being in grad school. Cause grad school isn't going to give a shit about his being a student athlete. They're going to expect 16 to 20 hours a day from him.

    I have also heard transferring to another school for your grad work is to your advantage.

    Hurts is not a big pro prospect, that is true. If he stays in sports it will likely be as a coach.

    Not if you transfer to a school that requires you show up for class or have a legitimate major

    Yea it’s one of those bizarre, irrational, circular logic, mind games academics play that know one else outside of academia really gives a shit about. The reasoning being that if your applying for grad school at the undergraduate school you graduated from something must be wrong with you if you couldn’t get accepted by another school.

    Ya know I’m proud of the work I did as a grad student but it was 180 degree difference from my undergraduate experience and I came out of it with a low opinion of academics. Doing post grad research didn’t exactly improve that opinion. It’s like being a big brain on a squirrel cage.

    In case you doubt it, the first post you made in the other college football thread was on 9/6. You spent most of the time trying to single me out and demean Alabama. I did not start the other thread for over 2 weeks. During which time I engaged your obsessing on one minor point or another, including insisting that Jalen Hurts is a loser. YOur first comment about sex with my wife was on 9/21. I started the new thread on 9/22. I am not quick thread ban or ignore people. Not at all. But there are lines that should not be crossed. It is a matter of simple decency. Something you obviously lack.
