This all might be a lot clearer if he wanted to leave LSU for Auburn or Bama.

If that's true, why did Blakely have to be granted a release from Muschamp, and why did he have to sit out a year due to transfer rules? He had to sit out 1 thanks to the release Muschamp gave, versus 2.

He is not under scholarship



What? Are you saying that he is paying full tuition to attend Auburn University right now?

He never signed his LOI, and as such has no need or requirement to seek release.

There is nothing to be released from.

He is not under scholarship. . .but he is still an athlete, and thereby under the thumb of the NCAA.

Miller could transfer anywhere he chooses, singing "frick Auburn, and your tree toilet papering homoerotica!!!", and AU can't do a damn thing about it.
Not signing the LOI means diddly squat at this point. He's attending classes at Auburn right now. If he wasn't willing to pay for them at LSU, you think he is paying for them at Auburn? He's a scholarship athlete at Auburn, which is a member school of the SEC and NCAA. Therefore he is subject to all rules that apply to scholarship athletes at Auburn, the SEC and the NCAA. He is basically under whatever rules everybody else is under.

Not necessarily, If you decided to grayshirt, what you would do that first semester would be go to a local Junior College and attend classes. The reason you may go to a JC near home is to save money over another, more expensive school. As a grayshirt, you would not get to practice with the team, workout with the team, or even eat at team meals. During the first semester, you are not a part of the team.

The reason that you cannot do that stuff is because you want your full time status to start during the second semester. Instead of just being thrown into the wolves during the summer, you can participate in spring practice, get used to classes, and then possibly be able to play in the fall. If you started in the second semester of next year, which would be 2012, you would get that season, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 to complete your four years of playing. Some prospects do go from being a grayshirt right to being a redshirt so that they would end up being 23 or 24 when they finish.

What does this have to do with my post? Miller is not a grayshirt. He's an early enrollee. He didn't go to a JUCO or something. He went to Auburn, where he is a scholarship football player.

Understatement. Nothing has been said or confirmed about Miller. The only thing going here is bickering and crying over what he could or could not do.

So let us bicker and cry amongst ourselves while you move on to nobler pursuits, like shitting on everyone's premature Nkemdiche parade.

Well , it looks like Pat is actually transferring after all. I think the ship has sailed though.

Kid was told he would get a TON of playing time. Miller felt he wasn't ready. Wanted to redshirt, but coaches said no. Some AU fans say he was rattled by shooting. School won't release him to another SEC school.

Man, kids with the talent to be legit LTs are few and far between. Some mid-major is about to get a stud... maybe a directional FL school?
