Jamil Burroughs (former Alabama DT) enrolled and practicing with team. Update: not eligible for 2023 per cribby

[TheOriginalCane]

Is he eligible this season? He didn't enter the portal until June. Wasn't there a deadline to enter to be eligible this season? Sorry if this was already answered/discussed

Asked and answered.

don't open up that can...

Here's where there is uncertainty on his remaining eligibility.

It looks like he played 11 games last year. Good. One year of used eligibility.

But if he has played in 20 games, then it would depend on when the other 9 games were played.

We know 2020 is the COVID year. So if he played 8 games in 2020 and 1 game in 2021, then he could cite COVID for 2020 and redshirt for 2021.

But if it was 1 in 2020 and 8 in 2021, no redshirt for 2021.

If he graduated, he can walk on to the field tomorrow and play. Grads aren’t held to the same window as non-grads.

Not a ton of DTs graduate in 3 years

Helluva 11th hour addition. We’ve needed a 0/1 tech badly

That wasn't really his position at bama, idk if that means he can't do it in our scheme but he wasn't asked to there

 

[TRick72]

I think if 'Bama dismissed him he's eligible.

Strong 1st post? Have you met @Mklein13?? Something tells me you guys would hit it off

This move tells me a lot about the pressure I was hoping Mario feels.. time to win NOW!

As long as they ain’t rape and kill someone.. we ain’t at the liberty to turn away top talent.

Take em and pray they stay outta trouble

Well… let’s not be hasty. depends who they killed.

This isn't like you taking classes at Miami. The kid likely had a guided tour of the rooms and got passing grades.

What, no oops? Come on man

Ha!

In my defense, I DID switch from College of Engineering to School of Business. I lost some valuable FORTRAN and AutoCad credits in the process...

 

[Baba Yaga]

Yeah a 5 is giving Joy too much credit. Y'all seen't her lately?

 

[Canegrad89]

Stoked about this. Not many things better than adding a quality wardaddy at the DT position. If he is in fact eligible, will definitely improve our run D and chances of winning some of the games against quality opponents this season. Also, looks like we’re forming a nice pipeline of former Bama players to the Canes (Cohen, Harrell & now Burroughs). That could lead to even more pickups going forward…especially if we have a good season. Go Canes!

He was going to be in Bama’s two deep and played a lot of football there . For our situation he’s a staring caliber player. But he won’t start lol. This is huge for depth. As I’ve been saying “ they know how huge this season is “.

Huge for depth, sure. Doesn't seem like he made a big impact at Bama. We obviously are not Bama, but with Taylor Deen and JHH I hope for our sakes he is our fourth best DT at best this season, otherwise we're in trouble.
