Cade Mays CLEARED by NCAA

[vegasvolfan]

So how much of an issue will it be to be cleared by the SEC?

It has apparently never happened with an undergrad. This is a unique case though.

6’5 320 5*
6’6 330 5*
6’4 300 4*
6’6 320 5*
6’7 330 5*

That’s our Oline this year

And the 4* is a 6th year braniac.

Never happened for a grad transfer until 4 years ago when DB Smith was approved for immediate eligibility when he transferred from AL to GA.

Looks great on paper.
Can they consistently block All-American d linemen without holding or false starts?

Yes.

 

[BACKDOC]

Will we hear something before they travel to Columbia?

What is 'unique' about Mays' case?

 

[VolInNW]

Does Commissioner Saban have to sign off before or after Director of Marketing Sankey??

Asking for a friend.

What is 'unique' about Mays' case?

I would imagine it’s the lawsuit + Covid + we two seconds away from one time transfers anyway. I’m guessing that’s the ‘uniqueness’.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Gotta be able to run the ball. Wouldn’t mind a 60:40 run to pass split this year. Definitely will keep us in every game.

The running backs have to be as happy as a puppy with 2 peckers!

And the left guard is a 1st round draft pick last season and next!

You have the whole case file which you’ve generously shared...why ask the question? Unless you miss the arguing?

 

[BigBadVol]

1600 lbs on the o-line. Me like.

The incident that the lawsuit concerns happened before Cade enrolled at Georgia, and was filed three days before Pittman was announced as the HC of Arkansas, and Mays announced his transfer long before Covid became a focal point for college football.

Not a whole lot of "uniqueness" about a wealthy father of a college football player filing a lawsuit in an attempt to help his son transfer when the coach that recruited him leaves for another position.

 

[Remy]

How do you guys feel the SEC office will rule on Cade being eligible this year?

Making him sit out a dead year is pointless. besides I believe Saban will probably okay it in order to drive Smart nuts.

Droves and droves of said parents with lost parts of appendages are there?

 

[VolMarine1371]

I'm still processing the fact that something good actually happened. lol.

Don’t count your chicken before they hatch. We all know that the SEC office still has to get permissions from Satan and Smart before the SEC grants the waiver!!!!

 

[jmcarr33]

JG has no more excuses. I could pass behind this line. He will be the most protected QB in the SEC

Playaction should work wonders for him

 

[ATLVols]

Do the right thing, SEC! Also, I fully expect the wrath of Cade Mays and Trey Smith to be unleashed when we play UGA. I can’t wait.

 

[tennesseeduke]

H*ll, behind that offensive line I could gain 200 yards a game, and I'm 60. We may not even have to pass the ball this year.

JG is hopeful

Listening to Pruitt's interview... SEC approval did not sound like a sure thing. He said all transfers inside the conference are left to SEC approval, and they have had a policy of rejecting all of them in the past.

He made it sound like he's hoping for an exception due to everything surrounding football with Covid.

 

[LittleVol]

Our Oline is about as menacing and physically formidable as we may ever see. We have four 5 stars on the starting O-line....

 

[Tnman1]

Average high school line weight is 1400, average college is 1525, average NFL is 1575. Tennessee is 1600. The numbers mean nothing if you can't block. I like the numbers thou.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Best line we have had since Tiny, Fulton, Bullard, Stone and Jawaun James.

I just wish we could convince them all to stay another year....wow.

I couldn't tell which way he was leaning. I think it may be hard for SEC to say no. They might though just to see how much backlash they get for it. It's a big difference in letting a player transfer after they've met their requirements academically and graduated as opposed to letting them open transfer before fulfilling their end of getting their degree from the school that's vested into them. It's a tough call I think and could go either way.
