Ex-Buckeye arrives in Alabama

Alabama's newest wide receiver has arrived in Tuscaloosa, but he will not begin taking classes at the university until August. "I'M HERE!!!!!!" Duron Carter tweeted Friday morning. Carter, who is transferring from Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College, signed a grant-in-aid with Alabama. He had signed a letter-of-intent with Ohio State.) He then will participate in preseason practices that will start in early August. Being admitted for the fall semester is not a concern, the source said.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - Duron Carter and Danny Woodson Jr. have not satisfied requirements to enter Alabama's preseason football practice leaving their status for this season in question.
Alabama coach Nick Saban made the announcement Friday afternoon during his opening press conference for preseason camp.
Saban also said Brent Calloway has satisfied his requirements to participate in preseason camp, and pending verification he could be available at Friday night's practice.
Carter is a junior college transfer, who was expected to compete immediately for playing time at wide receiver. His father said in a text message Wednesday he hoped to have his son's transcript issues settled today.
"Duron Carter, we do not have all of his information for all of his grades," Saban said. "Until we get that information, even though he's here he is not eligible to be at practice or be at camp. When we get that information if it's all what it's supposed to be then he'll be able to practice."
Woodson is another wide receiver, who would be a true freshman competing at the position. The LeFlore star is the son of former Alabama standout Danny Woodson.
"Danny Woodson is not here but may be here at some time before school starts just depending on what happens in some other situations," Saban said.
Calloway said last week he was on track to complete a science course he needed to finish to satisfy the NCAA Clearinghouse for his Alabama enrollment. Calloway confirmed Sunday he was still on track, but did not respond to messages later in the week.
"Brent Calloway has completed what he needs to complete," Saban said. "If that all verifies he'll be able to practice tonight."

Saban addressed it last (Tuesday) night:

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban addressed Carter's status.


"We still don't know," Saban said academic hurdles. "Until we get the information back on Duron Carter, which I haven't heard anything on compliance (Tuesday), we do have a few more days to be able to get this done."

Classes at Alabama begin today and the final day of enrollment is Aug. 31.


The first day of school is not the drop-dead date for when somebody can start school. We're weighing several options in several circumstances and situations. I'm not really at freedom to discuss those. We don't have all the information to make those decisions now. I can't really give you any idea of how it will all end up until we get all the information.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Duron. He has until the 31st to be cleared.

If Duron isn't cleared, i'm curious if Ohio State is back in the running after another year of JuCo?
