the question is whether he is free to transfer to any school.....sometimes an SEC player has decided that he wants to transfer to another in conference school....then suddenly the coach that sent the player packing, wants to control where the player lands.
If there is no restriction or noise about the kid transferring in conference and to a team on Alabama's schedule, then that is probably the more telling sign.
As far as the player transferring north to lets say "RU", sometimes it may be beneficial to do research on what type of program did the player come out of in HS.....is he "entitled", is he a player that believes his own press-clippings from HS recruiting??
I would pass IMO....I don't need the details on what happened or didn't happened at Bama....I know that people believe that we should take any 4 or 5* kids because we are RU and there is a notion that we are talent deficient.....beyond talent deficient, we are culture deficient as far as work ethic, lifting, running training etc....this has festered for quite a few years now way back to when Savage and others were here at RU.
I think somewhere around that timeframe, RU got significantly better recruiting rankings under Schiano, but the work-ethic or talent didn't match and the results didn't translate like it should have on the field....it kinda started under Schiano when Savage and a couple of other recruits arrived and ultimately evolved to a head in the UConn finale in 2011, a game that signaled a change in how RU was perceived.
I would be extremely leery of this type of recruit as a transfer. Let a Cuse or another desperate program take on this type of project. Ohio State or Michigan don't take on this type of player as a transfer and I think Ash and company aren't going to go out of their way here either.
