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

[Secondand26]

This ESPN article says seven players hit the portal. Who are the other two?

Alabama Crimson Tide have seven players enter college football transfer portal

Tight end Jahleel Billingsley was among seven Alabama football players to enter the transfer portal Tuesday, while the national champion Georgia Bulldogs had two players enter the portal.

I believe they are including Banks & Jackson Bratton who were already in the portal - not sure though

Do you (or anyone else on here) hear of any TE prospects that are likely for the portal. I really believe Billingsley leaving is addition by subtraction. I am not for criticizing players but he really looks like a cancer & needs to go elsewhere.

I think they will grab one, not sure who. There was interest in OU's Austin Stogner who ended up with South Carolina. And Billingsley cost himself a lot of money this season.

I've now been told they're two walk-ons: DJ Dias and Bryan Lanier.

I believe when it all shakes out, the additions will be much greater than the subtractions ( as CNS has warned the rest of CFB!)

That’s what I told my daughter about Billingsley. If he would have done right he’d still be gone - just to the NFL instead of the portal.
It amazes me how some of these kids think they know more than CNS.

Just immature and boneheaded, even if he ends up with Texas and becomes a big part of their offense, the damage to his draft stock is irreparable.

Billingsley had the ability and talent to be in the same mold as OJ Howard and Irv Smith Jr. Instead he'll go down as one of the biggest dissapointments of the Saban era. It's unfortuante, he could have been so damn good.

Almost as big a disappointment as.....Jimmy Johns. Most of these guys looking for the path of least resistance. Really surprised about Sanders though.

 

[alabama mike]

Is it bad if I hope Billingsley transfers? I'm tired of his lackluster effort and lazy attitude. I think he can safely be labeled a bust.

Got your wish this afternoon.

Need to change the title to "Coaches/Players Leaving/Staying" thread or something.... we can track it all in here...

Don’t know how.

After studying on it, the introduction of Jeremiah Alexander along with the existing talent at the position, may be helping him to a decision

 

[Davestwin]

It’s being reported that Jahleel Billingsley, Paul Tyson, Tommy Brown, Drew Sanders and King Mwikuta have entered or will soon enter the transfer portal.

Paul Tyson, four other Alabama players enter transfer portal

Tight end Jahleel Billingsley and outside linebacker Drew Sanders were among the others.

I saw that Tyson is leaving aka Twitter. He doing what Jalen did. I saw a few more Billingsley, D. Sanders,K. Mwikuta, T. Brown, These are the one I seen.

 

[Tidestalker]

Drew Sanders?!

GUT PUNCH! That was my guy. Crap.

I was wondering why he wasn't playing more down the stretch after it seemed like he was healthy. Obviously Turner has come on really strong, but I thought Sanders had done enough to still get on the field. I'm wondering if this is a sign that Allen plans on returning next season... Which would be amazing.

 

[Bama Guy]

Hate to lose Drew Sanders. He played hard.
Not too sad to see Billingsley go, ton of talent, but just didn't seem to give his all.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Unfortunately (for us), no.

Man, for a few years I just kept think Johns would break through and be a beast. And he kept disappointing. I wanted him to reach his potential which would have been crazy good.

Just means they think Turner and Anderson are going to be bookends next year and they feel they can rotate deep later on the line. This either opens us up for a big recruiting class next year or a big transfer class here this year or next year.

Jeremiah Alexander was double teamed nearly all stinkin' year, and those guys still couldn't stop him. Yeah, there's a huge scale between high school and college, but after Alexander makes it through the fourth-quarter program and spring practice, he'll be a very capable backup for these two guys.
