Moses and McMillon Eligibility

Moses would be better off going to Pro.... but He may pull a Harris move... We won't know anything about Moses until January

Think he's the kind of player this rule was made for. Hope he can get it.

It is made for the player who misses two seasons to injury. Josh sat his first two seasons at Alabama, but I don't remember either being due to injury.

Sorry, but unless he gets a 1st round grade, this is just flat wrong.

I don't either, but I don't think it would matter. If he was eligible this year and was lost to injury, he could play another year with a med. RS.

I hope that you are correct if that is the path that he chooses, but that is not why they created the 6th year waiver process. They created it for players who lose more than one year of play due to injury. If a player loses 2 years to injury, the waiver is pretty much always approved.

I may be mistaken. My wife will verify this happens often.

How Big? Most Mock Draft has him going 1st round... So with injury he had... He might as well take it... but at same time... Saban see the defense not getting better, and he could use an experienced player... and give Harris or Lee one year of learning without stress... Who knows... I still think he's gone, but you never know.

The first I heard about the 6th year waiver was Vernon Wilkerson who played for Coach Bryant and then was in a car wreck so he was granted the waiver. Selma can verify my memory about it, but they seemed to point it out because he was the last of Coach Bryant coached players left on maybe Curry's team.

I am not saying that he will not get a 1st round grade - I really have no idea how he would stack up against all of the ILBs who actually played and improved this year. I am just saying that it is not a slam dunk as it seemed to be when he was a Butkus finalist at the end of last season. Without playing after the injury, will an NFL team risk a 1st round pick on him? I would not want my teams doing it. In fact, I wouldn't want my teams taking him before the 3rd round.

Right. And I was taking this rule into account. Josh may have been injured in his second season, and it was just not reported. That happens sometimes. But I don't think that was the case. Either way, I don't expect him to be back.

Regarding Moses, it depends on how well NFL prognosticators wanting to weaken Alabama's roster get in his ear. Last year, Moses played like a really good athlete with all the physical tools, but not 1st round caliber in actual linebacker production. Reminded me of Rashan Evan, Reuben Foster, or Reggie Ragland as Juniors. Just not quite there yet. He needs to show more on the field, like showing he can be the alpha and call the defense to be drafted that high. Just my opinion. All that being said, with his rehab seemingly going as well as it is, he will probably go pro.

While I totally agree B1G, that kid in Dallas is playing pretty well. (LB From ND that got hurt and drafted)
