Can anyone clearly explain the SEC JUCO transfer rules?

Whatever it is, it's costing us a bunch of MS JUCO players to the Big 12. This has been happening for years now. I don't know if Jamal Danley is a victim of it, but whatever it is, wouldn't our own conference want us (all SEC schools) to be on a level playing field?

If MSU can't get a leg up on the MS JUCOs, that's just one more potential advantage gone down the drain. K-State obviously still benefits.

I think that is a little bit of a cop out.

Every time we miss on a JUCO prospect (OL more often than not), it retroactively comes out "Well, this grade thing...." But, OM signs 5 guys a year from MS JUCO without much of an issue.

That is why I would like to know the truth regarding the transfer rules. I am very aware that we may or may not be doing a good enough job recruiting JUCOs, which in my opinion, is almost essential to our success. Unless Mullen can find another way to grab elite talent year-in and year-out.

I think it has something to do with the amount of hours + gpa. The # of hours might be lower for other conferences.

Progression to graduation. It has to do with not only grades but whether those juco classes will allow the player to be classified as a junior in the major he or she chooses. If the classes don't count toward the major, the player isn't eligible until he progresses in those classes to be qualified in the class they should be. This goes for all athletes transfer or not. Pass a bunch of crap classes in your freshman or soph years and fail to progress to graduation and you are ineligible.

Classes don't always transfer, thus sometimes juco players don't qualify no matter how good their grades are.
