This latest development is wholly unexpected, but in any event according to Nick Saban, Danny Woodson, Jr. has joined the Alabama football team and will begin working out with the team immediately. This latest development comes after weeks of speculation and belief that Woodson would only enroll this fall if Duron Carter became an academic casualty, but obviously that turned out not to be the case with both Carter and Woodson currently in Tuscaloosa. Saban indicated that the staff will use the same routine currently being used to acclimate Carter to also bring Woodson up to speed.

Clearly a scholarship came open somewhere, and no one has been dismissed from the program, so exactly where did the scholarship come from? In his post-practice press conference, Saban hinted that it came at the expense of a walk-on.

Lowery is perhaps the only walk-on upperclassman who would legitimately be in line for a scholarship, outside of perhaps Carson Tinker, so if it did come at the expense of a walk-on then that player is likely Lowery.

Woodson is in.

TUSCALOOSA | University of Alabama coach Nick Saban confirmed the enrollment of 2011 signee Danny Woodson, a wide receiver from Mobile, on Wednesday. Woodson did not join the team when fall camp began on August 5 and had until Wednesday to beat the deadline to enroll.

Saban said Woodson will be placed on a similar learning track as receiver Duron Carter, who just joined the team on Monday after being cleared academically.

"Those guys will go through a program and a process a little bit like when a guy comes in late to camp in the NFL," Saban said. "Duron Carter practiced in shells two days, he'll practice in pads two days, same thing Danny Woodson will do. We'll also work them out on Friday in pads and Saturday in pads, trying to get them more ready to get implemented into the routine starting next week, in terms of what they might be able to do or contribute on Monday."

Doesn't sound like they're going to dress out for the game Saturday.

Woodson can not dress. You can not wear full pads until after 4 practices. CNS said yesterday that they will practice Carter hard this weekend and get him ready to play ASAP but it is unlikely he will play against KS.

I think Carter will dress for Saturday.

CNS may let them dress and be part of the team. I don't know.That would be fun for them. Get to run out of the tunnel and warm up in front of fans.

Thanks for e-cred this morning.

I'm hoping that Carter gets to dress and play.  Even if he only gets in on a play or two, it'll help his psyche and he'll likely practice harder.  It may be a few games before we have a chance for everyone to play otherwise.

But CNS may not want him to play before anyone who has been at practice since day 1.

edit: U welcome

Playing at home allows all of the players to run out of that tunnel where road games are limited with players taken so I would guess that CNS will have them all out there just for the crowd experince.
