I would take Daniel Giddens in a heartbeat. John Petty is a wing. Petty had his chance to be a Wildcat but he didn’t have the courage to pull the trigger. I haven’t been that impressed with him. If he had played up to his ability in February, AJ might not have lost his job. Whitney and Allen are both longer than Petty. Petty would not beat out Whitney here. If Allen is expected to be physically sound, we don’t need Petty.

Probably true but there has to be something to go on. What did he claim was the basis for his waiver request?
If they allow some form of free agency, they will destroy NCAA sports. It's ridiculous.
I could be wrong but isn't it allowing seniors to transfer and play immediately? That might be only if there are violations that prevent the team from going to the postseason their last year.
What exactly would those hardships rules be? It is moronic to assume he gets a harship and all other transfers would not.
If you read the hardship rules, its hard to understand how this is happening. They've probably already created precedent for a form of free agency.
And have to compete with Bruce for in-state talent. I would like to know what the odds are, in Vegas, for Bama to win the SEC next year. They will battle it out with Vandy for the cellar.
Every time I've watched that kid play I've been high

Exactly.
In this case, all the Bama players have to do is say the hardship is the coach they committed to, and that promised them he would be there for four years, was released of his duties. (I get it, AJ was an employee, players are not), but their lawyer will just say a commitment and promise was broken to the players, and his clients deserve the right to do what is best for themselves.
You’re right, but I feel like Bama overall doesn’t really care considering their football program is in the midst of a dynasty?
Perhaps I’m wrong
Bama fan here. Rumor circulating right now is Thad Matta is gonna be the hire and he's on campus right now. I'm taking it with a grain until it's official, but it would be a very nice hire.
Jeff Goodman cleared his tweet up about Petty:
So he may or may not be going.

opcorn:I'd take John Petty on my bench. He'd been senior age when eligible. He could be deadly under the right coaching. TAKE HIM!
