📝 The Portal Watch 2020-2021: Florida's Emory Jones announces intent to enter the transfer portal

[Davestwin]

Saban tried to warn people what the transfer portal could mean to college football. He always finds a way to make lemonade out of lemons. And this particular glass is yummy!

Former 5-star CB Eli Ricks transferring to Alabama

After adding four players to next year's secondary group, Alabama added a former five-star on Wednesday night.

That’s a huge get for the Tide … I just wish he could play in the coming weeks!

Do you think this will affect where Domani Jackson signs or do you think USC was already a done deal?

As was said before, Riley not known for defense so we’ll see! Great class anyway! Still got a couple months to so….

I was going to bring this up myself. They visited USC together last weekend. I would assume this means Domani is heading to USC. A little surprised Elias isn't going there too since he's from California, but he did go to IMG and LSU. I really wanted Jackson, and he was my #1 guy I wanted in this class. I've been fortunate to see the last three #1 guys I wanted come to Alabama, so I won't complain. That being said, Ricks is definitely an upgrade from even Domani, so technically we will win this chess match against USC. But yes, I took this as Domani telling Ricks he was USC bound.

Chew on this for a bit.

David Pollack and Rece Davis talked about the transfer portal Tuesday on "Turning the Page" and the conversation inevitably turned to Bo Nix. As they were discussing his ranking out of high school, his potential, as well as possible landing places Pollack lauded Nix and what he can bring. He had one caveat: "All that's missing is his mechanics."

All that's missing is his mechanics?!?! And that's a positive for a grad transfer quarterback?

They are trying to say a good QB coach can fix him and trying to sell him up, but I think most coaches would rather not deal with that from a one year guy. By this late in the game you expect those things to be fixed.

His dad was a quarterback and a quarterback coach. These things shouldn't even be in a conversation about Nix.

His mechanics aren't great, but he makes up for it by bringing the accuracy of a blunderbuss, a shitty attitude, a meddling father, and a propensity to say stupid shit when a microphone is in front of him.

He was a good QB for Auburn, and that got him jobs after, but some folks can't teach for shit and I expect he is one of them.

So who is going after him...?

Any guesses?

He apparently has the "do not contact" tag in the portal. The feeling from some auburn people is that his dad is controlling things and they may already have his spot picked out. I don't know about that, but I feel safe in saying his dad certainly has a heavy hand in it.

He's going to ruin his son's career.....
