As long as Smith is allowed free transfer anywhere outside the SEC, I'm fine with a restriction on inside the conference (with the option to still do it and sit a year).

Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Tough shite.....you want to send a player to UGA? Where its likely we could see them in the SECCG? He could have gone to Baylor but changed his mind. Plenty of other places he could play.

I have no problem with holding the line on this. The kid is from Texas, there is no particular reason to go to Georgia other than preferring it there and his former DC is head coach there. It's not in Alabama's best interest and there are loads of other schools he could attend if he chooses, some closer to home.

And if he REALLY wants to play a year at Georgia, he can sit out *as per SEC rules*. No need for anyone to demonize Saban over it. I would do the same.

Qualifier:

Saban is the best coach of all time

However, he is being a huge pussy. Miles has let players transfer to SEC schools. He actually let 4* recruit Phelon Jones go to Alabama. Bottom line, Saban is a baby back bitch pussy compared to iron balls Miles. It just sucks Saban is a better coach

ETA: Please dont let anyone take this post seriously
