JUCO DL Jamar King meets Nick Saban, prepares for Alabama official visit


Impressive film. Imagine this guy with Johnathan Kongbo on BAMA's already stacked D-line.

 

[Bama Guy]

He plays nasty. I especially like that roughing the passer. He tackles with a vengeance.

 

[EasyTider]

Is Kongbo even visiting. Haven't heard any reports that we have legit shot at him.

Yes, Kongbo will be visiting BAMA. We have ground to make up, but Saban has zeroed in on him.

Kongbo was scheduled to come this weekend but will now come the 29th!

Good thing is, he wants a degree in criminology. Bama has a pretty good program for that...........ain't that right, @Brandon Van de Graaff ????

My oldest daughter wants to go to Bama and get her degree in criminology and march in the band. Only real problem I have right now is out of state tuition, so I'm trying to find some options around this...

I had an aunt and uncle living in Tallahassee and they wanted me to come to F$U. I was going to live with them after the first year. Avoid the out of state tuition. I wonder if this would be possible for your folks here to look into for your daughter.

I've considered that. In understand that in Texas you can change residency in 6 months and pay in state tuition. I need to read thru the residency page on the UA site in the next few weeks and see if I can find an in. SAT/ACT scores will decrease tuition as well, but I think this will be harder for her (not impossible).

I imagine the universities have tightened up loopholes since my time. Good luck!

Couple of things. Own property or have her work a full time job and show one pay stub showing she's paying state of Alabama taxes. That's how I skirted out of state tuition immediately. Have any friends that own a company that would be willing to hire her? Doesn't matter where the company is located, as I worked remotely for a company in Atlanta while I lived in Tuscaloosa.

I own a house a mile from campus that is vacant, so if you need me to help I'm more than happy to offer it.

Coming straight out of high school and claiming in-state residency ... tough one there, Matt.

 

[bamaledge]

@planomateo , I read the resident policy and it looks like the only way to get around it is the full time job angle. Also, it looks like she would have to have an Alabama drivers license. Good luck.

Well, move her down the summer before, get her AL DL, and get her a full time job for the summer. Would that work? The other option is to have her go a semester to Shelton while working. It's CHEAP. She can take a bunch of Frosh-level non-major courses, and then change her major once she gets to Bama in the Spring. That way, she can still enjoy a full 4 years at Bama, in the band.

Sure, it'll be an extra semester, but you'll save tens of thousands of dollars that way.

I don't know if that's doable. Just spitballin' here.

If she's in the band, could she get a scholarship?

Having gone through this, albeit several decades ago, it wasn't the full time job that was the key. It was the full time job PLUS paying state taxes on that job. There were a lot of things I put together before I filed for residency. It's all about, in their eyes, being a part of the community.

IE: Joining a church, registering to vote, joining service/community outreach programs, and little things like that which showed a vested interest and involvement in the community.

@planomateo IF you claim her as a dependent for 2015, 2016 is going to be out of the question, IMO. (I'm not suggesting this, but it would be looked at differently if, say, your parents claimed her since they are residents of AL.)

They are available; a lot of partials awarded.

 

[planomateo]

Yeah, which I believe triggers her having to go on Obamacare (and off my insurance)...which is something I'm trying to avoid.

Good point.

I'd be left wondering if the medical coverage she receives as a student would have a bearing on that as well ... it's part of the student fees, is it not?

What I have no clue is what would happen if a student needed surgery, etc. I don't know if the students medical coverage goes that far ...

Military members go through this a lot when they wish to change residency from their home of record. I'd assume some of the legalities are the same for civilians intending to change their state of legal residence to take advantage of entitlements of another state.

Basically, one's state of legal residence can change, but it has to follow certain rules. In order to legally change state of legal residence (again, at least for the military) one must:

1. be physically present in the new state at the time of the decision to change residence
2. Have intent of making that location their permanent home
3. must intend to abandon their old state of legal residence.

So, that part is relatively easy and straightforward. However, it is intent that is hard to prove in the event either the gaining or losing state take an interest in your situation.

Intent is one of the most misunderstood and difficult parts of legal residency or domicile. While there are a number of steps that you can take to demonstrate your intent, it is the cumulative effect of these small things that adds up to the whole of determining legal residency or domicile.

Ways to show that you intend to make a state your legal residence include:

- obtaining a driver’s license
- register your vehicle
- register to vote and actually voting
- paying state tax
-reflecting that state in your will
-any other actions that could be construed as showing intent to remain a resident of a state, etc.

These aren't all inclusive, but are the basics the military requires to protect the individual from tax liability before allowing a service member to fill out a change of residence form to reflect the change in their pay and records.

That about sums it up with UA in my time.

Thinking back on it I remember having to write something as well (trying to remember early '90's here.) My gut is telling me there was even a word requirement but don't hold me to that. I do recall having more than one thing to cover and it ended up being two pages.

A huge caveat in my story is my age when I chose to attend UA. I wasn't fresh out of high school coming from a different state. I'm sure that weighed into the decision.
