🏈 Duron Carter declared eligibile: He's practicing...

[Joe]

It sounds like coach Saban may have information that Duron has cleared but he will believe it when he sees it. Isn't that what is to be read between the lines. Duron is the real deal and it would be great to have him on the team this season.

I read where Wednesday is the last day to enroll, which I take as the deadline for him playing at Bama this season.

Now that said, and noting that he has 3 to play 2, there is no reason that he could not enroll for spring semester, participate in spring training, and play two seasons for us. Yes, but he will have not had any football contact all fall. True, but that is similar to any player who misses a season for surgery. Keep in mind that he has had the play book since his commitment. If there ever was a case where this could work, its Duron.

He has great size and good speed, which will not be lost. He plays WR which is one of the positions that can be practiced without the benefit of a team. He has a super football-smart day with enough money to afford him the chance to be his Receiver Coach for the year. Or, he can afford to live in Tuscaloosa during the fall, where he hangs out with his friends who happen to be football players. But for team meetings and scout team reps, this looks similar to a Red-Shirt year.

A very similar story is Jalston. If you recall, he missed his senior season in high school. But, he's contributing now and will in a big way this fall.

And I've thought about the fact that he does have these 3 years to play 2 also, and I agree that if he doesn't get in this year it could always be next year, but the way I see it, this year will be very different from next year-- next year I could see as a definite rebuilding year of may 9 or 10 wins (depending on how the rest of the SEC is) I think our D will be much weaker next year and with out TR, we won't have that super dynamic type back like we will have had for 4 straight years. THIS is the year we need Duron, he's the last piece of the puzzle for this team IMHO, and I'll hate it if we can't get him this year!!
