| FTBL Updates on Alabama players that are entering the transfer portal...

[bamaledge]

A lot of these kids transferring I’ve never heard of.

This one is rough, definitely would've been looked at as a starter possibly 2 years from now.

I had a feeling about him leaving. Stinks because I was very excited about his commitment. Great size and was excited, but no more I guess.

 

[TerryP]

It was a surprise that he didn't already enter. More than likely he's headed to Texas. Others could get in for sure... some are almost certain. Doesn't mean they'd leave obviously...

It'll be another year, if not two, for uso learn how ...

Damn, Byrne gonna habe to give some answers soon.

...Courtney Morgan works with roster management.

His track record speaks of itself; VERY recently.

We are bleeding right now when it comes to the portal and more possible entries.

Most of them had to go at some point... but it's a 2 way street. The key is holding onto the impact players, which they've done a pretty good job with overall thus far...

I'll be honest, I didn't know of Courtney Morgan but from what people are saying of him and what I've read. He's an invaluable piece to this whole puzzle.

I don’t understand. What do you mean “most had to go at some point”? Bond was a starter, Ricks just got here. Rumors of Downs, Keeley, etc. Unless they were never going to have a path to playing time, none “had” to go.

I understand some are just rumors at the moment, but it is just wild. Maybe a “it is going to get worse before it gets better” Type of deal.

As I've just started learning about these guys, Morgan reminds me of Adam Bauman (Oats DoOp's in his first season.)

I can't recall the exact number...want to say it was 9 million: the UW deficit in their athletic department last year.

Now, think about money, personnel, and toys he'll have at his disposal.

A lot's of pro's early on...

Numbers: 85 limit.

Numbers: 85 limit.

Speaking on that, do you have our annual numbers report for this year? I'm bad at keeping track of the scholarship numbers and all that.

What Terry said. To get the number down, yes, some literally had to leave. More than a handful. I said back on page 2 that we'd see about 20 leave. I stopped counting, but it has to be around that number now (that have entered the portal). And that was before we knew Saban was retiring. And yes, a couple have left that UA didn't want to lose... also said that was likely... but overall it has gone pretty well considering.

Five years ago I could have told you down to the number; give or take a couple. Now, with two signing dates and the portal?

Someone will take a stab at that total in the next three weeks following the NSD in February.

Back in December I saw the numbers...at that point they looked to be 15 or so over.

Need some lf the current Bama leadership to step in and help CKD. Malichi Moore needs to have conversations with these DB's and lock them down. Create momentum for CKD.

It's my understanding CNS has a special relationship with C. Downs hopefully the rumors are just that rumors.

Malachi is being a leader. It's going to be ok.

The game has become self-destructive. The revenue generated in the off-season will disappear when fans wake up to the fact that it matters zilch if they pay attention to affairs in the offseason. If their donations and contributions intended to attract and sign top recruits don’t do just that, then fan donations, contributions, and off season attention will stop. Just wake us up at kickoff, as we’ll cheer on whoever suits up on that day.

 

[alabama mike]

I wish these guys well. Hopefully after hearing Coach DeBoer last night some will reconsider their decision. We want people that want to be at AL A BAM A and want to compete for SEC and National Tiitles. If you don’t want that, please leave.
