We have recently had transfers fron uga, bama, one miss, and ut.
It depends on how far along a guy is, and how much credit transfers over to GT...remember, the APR equation being satisfied. GT being GT, I would assume some math and science classes do not transfer over from 'Bama. If he's into his major courses, do those courses transfer into an equivalent GT major? Most schools do not accept credits for major courses or very little of them.
JJ Green transferred as a true sophomore, so I would assume he's not into his major classes yet, and if his math/science classes don't transfer over, he still has this year to take them while he's sitting out.
Chris Jackson transferred from 'Bama after his freshmen year, so it's a similar situation as JJ Green.
That's not even getting into whether or not Dee Liner has the requisite transfer GPA to satisfy GT's requirements.
