🏈 2026 Alabama Roster Management Chart and Portal news

I will just say this: next year Bama will have zero depth at WR and OL. Those are places you absolutely have to have depth because there are always injuries there. And Bama has, for the last several years, been particularly susceptible to the injury bug at almost every position. I foresee a lot of true freshmen getting PT next year.

What?

WR are fine. They can add one more if they want to but they're fine.

OL we need two or three and we're fine.
I don't know where you get that idea there is no depth?

Did you forget about the class of 2026 ?

I played a pretty impressive OL back in the old days. So old, we had to keep our hands in at all times when blocking.

Those were the days! You had to learn to block, not just grab & push!

Help me figure it out. On the front page of this thread I see 5 WRs on scholarship. Williams, Brooks, Scott, Meadows, and Morgan. Am I missing someone? If 2 of those guys get hurt, who are you going to get to run a 4 WR set? This is what I see. Please correct me if I missed someone? You need at least 7 scholarship WRs to have depth. Last year Bama had Bernard, Horton, Williams, Scott, Brooks, Meadows, Hale, Adams, and even a converted DB, Mbawkwe. That's a count of 9 potential WRs who could step up when someone is injured. We have 5 on roster. There' s no depth.

If I had to say last all-purpose back would be Shaun Alexander. Damn! That’s going back a ways!!

It shocked me when I started thinking about what some fans want and how long its been since we've actually seen that kind of running back.

SA on a wheel route was a beautiful play.

Josh Jacobs was a pretty good all purpose back.

 

[Crtuneman]

I would say TJ Yeldon was a good APB. Kenyan Drake was an excellent receiver. I also think Damien Harris had really good hands out of the back field.

Heavens to Betsy, we might need tight ends and fullbacks to field a team.

I may be wrong, but I wouldn’t spend any more $$$ on a RB. I’d put all that into o-line. Talked with Trent Richardson, and he said Derrick Henry couldn’t run behind that trash o-line (I tend to agree). He said the stable of RB’s are fine.

There’s money to have both. But right now, OL should be top priority.

You spoke it into existence. Keep it up!

Are we sure???

Haywood is good get for depth and the future (assuming he sticks around), but Bama needs some experienced, well-seasoned OL added before all is said and done.
