Jaylen Moody latest to hit the transfer portal. He earned the right to do that.

Hope he lands at a place where he can challenge for a starting role.

Somewhere we don't have to face him would be nice. I always want to be able to root for former players like him in every game they play.

The Moody think is a bummer. Might indeed signaling Henry T. coming back though?

Who's next up at ILB with the departure of Harris?!

This is what I don't get? Some of these guy are graduate right? So why list them as enter the porter?

hey! I just got something about Tyson going to YES! ND? Has any of you heard this?

If they want to transfer they have to enter it. It is a compliance thing now really.

Not sure what that means but it makes me nervous so explain.

With Billingsley under Banks it wouldn't surprise me to see stories that remind me of Winston under Jimbo: both are enablers.

Saw where Evan Neal entered the Draft. Also saw where Christopher Allen signed with an agent last week, which means he'll be going Pro if that is truthful. Wasn't sure where to post, so relaying here.

Jameson Williams entering Draft as well.

On Christian Harris… I haven’t heard a decision has been made one way or the other, but as of yesterday, it sounded like he was possibly trending to return for another year. Either he hadn’t made a final decision yet (at least in terms of leaving), or if so, he was doing some stealth agent shopping (which is really hard to accomplish). IMO, based on that and the Moody news, I think he’s maybe indicated to some that he’s staying. But again, I haven’t heard that yet… he could still have a “goodbye Alabama” Instagram post up within 5 minutes and I wouldn’t be a bit stunned.

Shane Lee just hit the portal

Part of me wonders if coaches and schools will pay players to leave Alabama once they already have that winning mindset from Saban within them in hopes of enriching their program? Then I also wonder if this basically paves the way for more three and four year starters due to the movement and guys coming in and having to play early due to portal losses?

That's quite far reaching...

Eastern Michigan is offering Caleb Williams $1M out in the open, so why would it be far fetched to go one step further and offer while they're at another school to get them to leave?

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Well one thing for sure that you're seeing in all this is just how little The U of A actually means to these players. They came hoping Nick could get them to the NFL and for that reason pretty much alone. You will not have much of a senior class going forward and the freshmen and sophomore classes are going to have to carry a heavy load.

You're going to see some roller coaster years even at the best programs if the staffs can't fill the voids due to all your backups leaving for greener pastures.

I would love to hear what Nick is thinking about all this.

But why would he go there? not even for 1 million dollar? That's quite reaching in many way. He entered transfer portal because a coach left. so he's shopping around... so ............

With the news of Moody and Shane Lee, does that make you think both Harris & To'oto'o are coming back?

But didn't he get a request to go to EMU? Can't think about the QB but he went to EMU?
