I mean if we're not sure about these guys, I definitely would grab one. Hate to see a season go to waste because we can't hit any FGs lol

Don't know if you saw some of the videos he posted and some of the camps he worked with over the off-season before spring. He was nailing some incredible punts, like 40-50 yards right on the sideline inside the 5 type punts. He might be a JK Scott type weapon for us this year.

Might get a bit of a surprise today ... not mayhem, just a peak at how the new staff is recruiting.

Spill some beans. Who are we thinking will hit the portal on a national level that might cause some waves? This is like the new Signing Day with anticipation.

Another LB?

Will Johnson is a name I keep hearing as jumping in the portal and we've got at least to my knowledge a leg up on others. He's best friends with Domani Jackson and Sabb just came here who he's also friends with.
I know Mason Graham was floated around also, but I haven't heard anything since the earlier window about him. He was already rumored to be interested in Alabama as a destination, I believe Morgan recruited him at one point. If he does jump, I'd love to have him. Great Interior D-lineman from Michigan.
Those are the two I'm most interested in, outside of that there's going to be a ton of quality names floating around. Some just started to hit the portal tonight that we may kick the tires on. I know the list we're working with and we'll see what comes of it. Interested to see who we target and who we lose.

For those of you that were still worried despite my constant assurances...he's not going anywhere folks
That is really amazing to me, and it speaks to the young man's character. In this era of me first, instant gratification, it's refreshing to see some guys who still believe in old fashioned ideas of team first, and being a part of something bigger than yourself. I hope he gets an opportunity to shine. He deserves it. Other players like Malachi Moore and Deontae Lawson are the same kind of kid. Good character and determination.

I think it's more of fans creating false narrative about a player... They spend so much saying Ty Simpson will transfer out if he doesn't win the job, but thats assumption. The fact we haven't heard much since the portal opened at midnight surprised me.

Simpson is a redshirt Sophmore with two more years ahead of him. I can see him playing the long game as eventual starter in '25 & '26. And I agree, he'd be the exception at playing the long game.
For what it's worth, the last 4 national championship QB's all played the long game.

Bingo.....stick this fall and see how it goes and if things fall his way great. If not, he can still play 2 years at another program.
Crimson&WhiteGecko

Why would he leave after this season at another program? He'd have to relearn a new system, earn the teams trust, etc. If he stayed, he'd be the clear starter for two years here. I may have read your response differently. I am just clarifying.

He'd have to sit for next season and will be draft eligible in the spring of next year.

No, he's not looking to sit a year, he's wanting to play soon to push for the draft.

He can't transfer to sec team.
I'm confused. I thought there were no rules for transfers?
