🏈 Marcus Banks enters transfer portal

Found it weird on Saturday when both Jobe & Sanders weren't healthy enough to start but entered the game after some injuries. Could see why some guys may be frustrated or confused by that... but regardless, lots of competition. Thought he was in line for some snaps sooner than later... Hopefully he finds success wherever he lands!

I believe that Saban said before the game Jobe hadn't practiced all week but was cleared to play and would only be used if completely necessary.

Yep, I believe it.

Just pointing out if you're a DB who doesn't play in front of the guy who didn't practice all week.... Might get your wheels turning!

A true freshman also started in Jobe's absence ahead of Banks. So does seeing a Bama player enter the portal during the season point out leadership and team cohesiveness issues? Saban has always been able to get players convinced of team first by playing your role. Seems like that is harder with some on this team. I do not fault Banks for deciding to go elsewhere but doing it during the season?

Seeing that a bunch......entering portal....makes little sense...
Maybe it means other schools and player can start a dialogue...
I dont know if it means anything other than....player sees "writing on the wall"
He ain’t getting in rotation...

Don't you think it is a disruption during the season when a player does this? Bide your time and deal with it at the end of the season is my point. Maybe he is worried about other teams filling their rosters if he waits.

I doubt they give a rats ass about much more than themselves
Could be about other teams filling up their rosters! Sure!

Bama’s not exactly flush with elite talent at DB this season and thus far in the 2022 class, they haven’t landed any commitments from stud DB’s (Fegans is ranked 11th). The state of Alabama has three 5 Star DB’s in the Class of 2023 (Mitchell, Harris and Hurley … three of the top five DB’s in the nation!) but there’s no guarantee they sign with Bama. Though I’m wondering if Saban is thinking maybe two of them will?

If the dude does not want to play for AL A BAM A, I wish him well elsewhere. We want young men that want to be on the team.

IMO, Banks is one of those rare guys that can transfer from Bama and still excel in the end. I know the coaches liked his potential.

Interesting......if they really want him...surely they can get him some PT....same as a few others.... but ....knowing NS....no pt till you are doing the right things...
The process

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

At this point he pretty clearly ain’t cracking the rotation. I don’t know why but I bear him no ill will. He basically has 3 to play 2 at this point. Not really anything to be gained for him not going ahead and getting his name out there

We being seen this at a lot of games this season. That kid playing for the Bearcat is doing pretty good.

 

[Justneedme81]

I don't blame him, if I were him, I would've done the same thing. He's good.

Maybe you, but if I was him and had that kind of talent(which I didn’t/don’t) and my drive(which I, most certainly do) to be the best at whatever I set my sights on, I would be playing and not even thinking of transferring. They’d be calling me bamaledge biscuit Bradley.
Biscuit being my all time favorite Bama Legend!

As I have said before. “THE PROCESS” is not as strong this year as in the past. In the past the majority of players have bought in and overshadowed the minority This team is just the opposite with the exception of Will Anderson and a few other players.

Maybe, but in 3 years he's barely played snaps from scrimmage.

I'd say Jerome Ford is the exception, not the rule.

Folks on other sites were saying how crippling a loss Keilan Robinson was. He's doing absolutely nothing at 4-5 Texas in Sark's offense.

Sophser, Alfano, Anoma, Scooby Carter - big misses and guys who aren't doing anything noteworthy.

Are these guys playing ball this year?
