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

[kbama15]

Hate to lose Amos. He’s a beast. But, with February and spring portal we’ll be fine!

@SnakeDoc you are a troll.

I am sentencing you to watching German wrestling, women, every time you try to come here for three days.

HINT: You'll have to refresh 18 times. Pun intended.

Ya got on my nerves.

14 hours later...I've reconsidered.

What some call "bleeding," is roster management.

With class coming in for the fall, Bama would have over 100 kids on scholarship. We've been thinking 15-18 would move on. Amos makes #20.

They are going to hit the portal for a few guys. They have to make room.

But you don’t make room by culling projected starters.

You will need to tell me who, as a projected starter, has been culled.

I’m sorry but Amos looked to be heck of a starter next year. Poor roster management if that’s what you want to call it.

We need a lean recruiting year in 2025, so we can take more in 2026 or 2027..

Is he worth getting into a bidding war for when they can hit the portal?

Easy answer here.

You may be looking at this incorrectly. 25 initials no longer apply. There is no such thing as "lean year."

It's all about the 85 roster.

Definitely not but doesn’t erase the fact that it’s a huge loss.

Maybe.. just hate seeing so much potential leaving us every year

On that note, by my Calculations we're at 83 if Ryan Williams signs back with us. We can still add 2 more, and I think we're likely going to nab that 2024 Edge Decommit from UW which would put us back at 84 again after signing day stuff wraps up.

We're going to see it more and more with the Era of the Portal and NIL probably have to bring in 25+ every year in recruiting to keep the numbers correct. This year we've brought in 26 + 3 transfers = 29. If Ryan Williams and Noah Carter sign that's 31 this year alone. We've already talked about that they're likely adding a few more transfers so that number will likely creep up. That's kinda what we're looking at every year from now on, 25+ players recruited per year whether it be through the portal or highschool.

We can't say it is a loss until we know how he's replaced. IE: landing the CB from Washington would be an upgrade.

Look. Amos was chasing the dollar. He transferred in, now transferring out. It's not a loss because the game isn't over.

It was so peaceful and less irritating on so many levels. It was a nice, half-day sabbatical I suppose.

 

[TerryP]

@bamafan4ever Greg, I see the "thumbs down."

Understand. He's open target now...take your shots. Ridicule as much as you like.

When I thought about it this morning my conclusion was, "throw his ass to the wolves."

@TerryP , I didn't get wrestling or Getman women. You gave me German Volume Training, which I already knew.

 

[TerryP]

@bamafan4ever There was a guy here a few years ago...Crimson something...that rubbed the crowd the same way. I threw him in a loop for awhile...then let him back.

Y'all ate his ass up and he left.

Based on your posting history, I should have sent you to Dr. Phil

Proctor posted a pic on instagram today (I signed up for instagram, don't hate me) of himself in a Bama Jersey and a new NIL deal info. Do with this info what you will, but might be Courtney Morgan at work making sure he feels taken care of here.

That would be great news if he stays!

You missed me, didn't you? LOL

 

[TerryP]

Not at all.

I thought I had treated you unfairly because you got on my nerves. In retrospect, I didn't think it was sound judgment.
