Good point
That could be a song. LOL
We need all the LB’s and DL we can get. I’d take an offensive tackle as well.

This is my best Guess:
I think Bama is going to be little more aggressive when looking for WR, OL and DL, and maybe LB. They want to get the best players available quick as possible. You want to hit the jackpot as much as you can in this early transfer portal.
I have a feeling that we will "steal" a player from a school and they will be pissed about it.

Yes, I can see us attacking a OT and the DL in this years class pretty hard. LT Overton worked out real well
High likelyhood to leave BAMA. (IMO):
K Law
Prentice
Haynes
Lonergan
at least one TE
A DB or 2
an OL or 2

As portal season gets cranked up, and we aren't even into the bottom of the 1st inning yet, here's a reminder that as far as Bama goes, some transferring names will likely be surprising some, others, not so much. There will most certainly be a small number that enter that Bama tries to hang onto, that also happened under Saban. The majority though will be guys that probably need a fresh start, for various reasons. And for UA, some of it will be addition by subtraction. One promising note on all this is the fact that last time around, even while DeBoer and is staff were handcuffed by portal limitations, they went out and got key pieces who proved to be very significant contributors in the spots they targeted. Bernard was fantastic at WR. Brailsford was All-SEC level at center. Cuevas was an important depth piece at TE. Sabb was a day 1 starter and played well until his injury. Overton came in and contributed right away, he had nearly 30 QB hurries on the season. DaShawn Jones was a much needed, and solid, depth piece at corner. King Mack, another solid depth player that was much needed for this fall... he played over 200 snaps this season. Needed a kicker, they grabbed the Lou Groza award winner. Point here is, they didn't really have swings and misses. They knew what they wanted and what they'd likely get with each one of those portal additions. This time around, the pool will be bigger and deeper. The handcuffs are off, and the staff will have an even better feel of what they want and what they need to bring in after a full season of coaching and managing the roster. So, yes, Bama will lose some guys. Some fans will fret over it. But it's going to be an equal or better player that they are replace with... sit tight, and let it unfold.

Over/under on how many pages this thread hits by Jan 31? I’ll throw 24 out there.

I refuse to be logical as soon as a Bama name hits the portal we riot
Ha! I'll say over!
Can't wait for the, "DeBoer has lost control of this team, we'll be lucky to win 5 games next season..." takes.

We've honestly had those all season, just more of the same. Honestly very impressed with the evaluation and decision on the transfer and recruiting side by this staff. I think people will be happy come next year but yea we will have a ton of that during this transitional period.

The college football regular season came to a conclusion this past Saturday thrusting offseason decisions throughout the sport. Alabama wide receiver Kobe Prentice will enter the transfer portal according to a report from Pete Nakos of On3 Sports.
Just curious if y’all think the possibility of the team making the playoffs causes a few to pause and wait on their decision. I know many are frustrated and will bolt no matter what, but if you’re on the fence, do you wait and see if you can get a ring?
And on the other side, does a team hold a spot or two for some players on other teams that may do the same?

Yes. I almost included some stuff on that in my earlier post but decided to leave it out. A lot of conversations haven't been had yet with the playoffs pending, which the team is preparing for in the building until told otherwise. But like you said, others are likely to jump in sooner rather than later. And also keep in mind, each case is its own case and can be handled differently by the staff.
