re: Noah Dickerson will visit Texas, cal, lsu and Washington

But it's not a transfer though, he was released from his scholarship and was never on Florida, so thus he never became a student technically

I'm not denying anything you said, but the information in your link is a bit confusing. It states:

quote:

---

Per Pac-10 Constitution 7-3-b, a student-athlete who transfers from one SEC institution to another SEC institution must automatically serve a one-year residence requirement prior to being eligible for competition at the second SEC institution. In addition, the student-athlete will be charged with one year of eligibility in all SEC sports. The SEC institution to which the student-athlete transfers shall not offer, provide or arrange for the student-athlete to receive any athletically-related financial aid during the time the student-athlete is serving the year in residence.

Did the SEC just adopt the Pac 10 (12?) constitution? Does the SEC not have its own bylaws?

Again, not denying that the rule exists. The bolded part just gave me pause. It might just be a bad proof-reading job on UGA's part.

In any event, I would have to think LSU had already reached out to the appropriate folks to determine whether or not the kid would be eligible next year at LSU or not. Otherwise, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for LSU to recruit him knowing he would not be eligible next year. Moreover, I doubt the kid would chose to sit out a year just to come to LSU rather than go to one of the other schools on his list and play immediately.
