So how do y'all feel about Bielema saying that the SEC Commissioner's office told him not to bring in the OT transfer from Michigan because of his legal issues?

I think it's both total and complete horseshite for a commissioner to tell us who to recruit and who not to when there's a long list of guys other schools have brought in with far worse issues.

It also tells me that JLo and Bert aren't ready for primetime in the SEC and don't have the stones to go head to head w/ the league powers.

Probably in anticipation of the recent tightening of the transfer restrictions enacted by the SEC.

Last year, the SEC passed a Georgia-sponsored rule to prohibit its schools from accepting transfer students who at any point of their enrollment in college had been convicted or pled guilty or no contest to serious misconduct, defined as sexual assault, domestic violence, or “other forms” of sexual violence. This week the rule was expected to include the following: Dating violence, stalking, or “conduct of a nature that creates serious concerns about the safety of others.” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey was asked about that vague wording. “It’s a vague world. It’s a recognition that you can’t define everything within one page,” Sankey said. Asked if there was a dialogue this week about expanding the legislation to include high school players, Sankey said: “We’ll continue to talk.”

As a father...I appreciate his approach in bringing in high quality guys. I need more role models for my daughter...I don't want her to know we brought in some POS into the program as I try to teach her to have good values in life and do the right thing. Just my opinion

They certainly wouldn't have told Alabama or Florida that
