Re: CB Deion Belue Set to Enroll at 'Bama (Update: Page 4)
Not sure where the rule about a JUCO has to graduate toqualify to get into a 4 year school unless it is a SEC rule but it is not aNCAA rule FWIW. Now I do know that if a player graduates from a JUCO all theircourses are excepted without questions asked and they come in as a junior. Ifthey do not graduate than the certifying school they are going to attend canevaluate each course to see what transfers. But they do not have to graduateper the NCAA.
