The final newcomer to the 2011 squad, former Ohio State wide receiver Duron Carter has finally arrived in Tuscaloosa. His transfer from Coffeyville Community College in Kansas had been held up but the UA Admissions office was expected to resolve the issue so he could start classes in Tuscaloosa this week.
We are still waiting on official word of his admission but, for now, knowing he's in town and churning out positive tweets is good news. Christopher Walsh reports that Carter has an appointment with the UA compliance department later today.
The bulk to this year's singing class enrolled last January. Carter was the final player awaiting word of admission after yesterday's news Brent Calloway would have to postpone this enrollment till August. Earlier this week Carter, along with Alabama seniors Darius Hanks and Marquis Maze, were named on the 2011 Biletnikoff Award watch list.
::UPDATE::
BamaOnLine's Chris Walsh is reporting that Carter will not be able to take summer classes but has signed his scholarship and will enroll in the fall.

Hopefully the next big news
on Carter will be related to what number he is going to wear.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Welcome Mr.Carter!
Bama’s receiving corps should be awesome this year.
Just what a couple of young, stellar QBs need to boost their confidence.
RTR!!!!!!!

Rec'd that

Also time for him to stop talking shit to Ohio journalists,

Finally some good news
But I won’t hold my breath! Freaking NCAA clearinghouse.
And what is the story with Alfy Hill and Shannon Brown transfering to other colleges. I’m really concerned to hear that about Hill. This would be his 4th school if I’m counting correctly. What gives?
I thought Hill was re-enrolling with us in December?
Where are you seeing this?

From an article below:
http://mobile.al.com/advbirm/pm_29180/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=1I6MkyfT
I definitely don’t see him making it back by December if ever. But maybe someone knows more.
That just says that Hill will be playing at a nowhere school this fall.
I don’t see anything there that indicates that he won’t be enrolling in December as we had previously heard.

I recall a tweet from Chase Goodbread recently
Saying that Hill was now on his 5th? school in 2 years and that subsequently the chances were slim to none he would ever end up at Bama.

Exactly what kind of progress could he be making?
What is the deal here? And yet almost everybody that is suppose to be in the know expects him for 2012. Doesn’t he have to have a degree to enroll? I thought that was the rule for juco players. This just doesn’t add up IMHO.
I never understood why he didn’t go to prep school anyway. He only missed qualifying by one class or something.

Guessing Alfy lands at Melmac in the end.

Is any really expecting Alfy to play a single down of football at Bama?

Duron Carter will be wearing #8 or atleast that is what he wore when he visited the capstone a couple of months back
"My next stop will not be another school but retirement to Lake Burton in north Georgia", Coach Saban
I saw a bunch of guys wearing #8 when I visited T-town last weekend,
but as far as I know, none of those people will be wearing it on the field this fall.
How much longer till kickoff?
He says he'll be wearing 8

Hanks made the watch list?
Really?

Seriously... who makes these lists?
But the bigger question is why Duron Carter made the list… I’m excited as hell for this guy to kick ass, but he’s on the watch list for the best reciever in football and hasn’t played a down at Bama. I dunno, just seems weird to me.
Agreed
And the ones that have ‘short lists’ in the preseason are really stupid. You have 5 names on your ‘watch’ list. What happens when all 5 get injured in the first 3 weeks? WTF are you gonna do then? Stupid. How about waiting 3 games, THEN start narrowing down from the whole field for your post-season awards and then narrow each week. For all they know, Hanks may come out and look like Forrest Gump in leg braces running down the field.
Ok, forget I said that, but still…

There are 75 players ob the list, I am thinking one of them will manage to survive the season.

when I see Duron’s name, but I like your tune better….rec’d.

I wonder which player would qualify as Horshack?
…besides Ezell, of course and he graduated.

Christopher Walsh is reporting
Carter will not be able to take summer classes, but has signed his scholarship and will enroll this fall at the University of Alabama.

bonus lols. mainstream media relies on “sources close to carter” to confirm the player is in tuscaloosa. heathen internet types just asked him on his twitter feed.

This helps ease some of the "Julio blues"
I feel like I just got dumped by a girlfriend just thinking about not seeing Julio “bussin’ heads” on offense. Call it a man crush if you want but every time he demolished a DB for a brief moment it made me feel tough and want to bow up on somebody, but then reality reminded me I’m 6’1" 160lbs.

They have signed their scholarships with the UofA. However, they will not be able to ENROLL in classes until the fall semester. Damned if I know whether or not they can even play catch with members of the team in an unofficial team pow wow.

Pretty sure one of the al.com articles said they would be able to participate in fall camp.
I’m half asleep now though, so I ain’t re-reading them to look for it.
How much longer till kickoff?
wonder
if saban will let them (ie, carter) play in the fall….do they even get the play book if they are not enrolled? que pasa?
