I addressed this a few days ago in this thread (I think). The academic requirements were eliminated but the SEC decided not to eliminate the 1 year residence requirement for intra-conference graduate transfers. Zaire transferred from a non-SEC school so didn't have to sit a year. A waiver process is available for grad transfers going from one SEC school to another.

The SEC may address the rule this spring.
You are correct. However the student-athletes cpould also ask the conference for a waver to allow them to play just like the Alabama defensive back who transferred to Georgia and received the waiver to play last year.

I suspect the SEC will again modify its stance this spring again and allow inter-conference transfers without a waiver despite Saban’s protestations.

I do know that the NCAA is considering having any Grad transfer be a scholarship commitment for 2 years and only reduced if the Grad transfer actually graduates with the degree before the fall semester of year 2. This is to prevent the abuse/scam on not getting an education.

Last time Uconn fans created a thread about Z transferring and if there was any Uconn interest, and then boom not only was she interested in Uconn, but she ended up at Uconn. Then there was a thread about Howard transferring and would she have interest in Uconn and boom she’s looking at Uconn. I wouldn’t be shocked if both Howard and Williams end up Huskies.
The concern I have and I am wondering what everyone else thinks is this:
When Butler, Camara and Stevens all transferred in, they got to practice for a year to see the system and yet neither Butler nor Camara saw significant quality minutes t(at first year when eligible to play. Even Z struggled this year on the defensive end and she is a very elite player. Howard is good but less skilled on offense and an unknown on defense. Danni Williams is playing a harder position in the UConn system at guard/point and I am not convinced either could be as impactful as being postulated.
I know some will qualify that both Butler and Camara suffered injuries and that held them back, however I still find that suspect. Thoughts?

A thumb injury requiring surgery (Natalie) and a bone bruise in the knee (Batouly) are pretty significant injuries to overcome.
When healthy Natalie contributed most notably against Baylor and Texas. Batouly will also contribute once healthy.

I don't see either one starting at first at least. And that may be the deciding factor. Can the accept possibly not starting.
