If nothing changes it is. Who would have thunked, with all the clutter following T-Brown's rocky road that he would still be sticking it out while others take a powder the first sign of difficulty.

By all reports, including Saban's, all 3 of the transfers were good kids without off field issues.

I believe the fact that Tony Brown has continued to get opportunities despite his poor choices over his career is a part of the reason one or more guys has left.... JMO

BTW that Aaron Robinson flip from Florida has turned out to be a great move. Between the transfers and Knott fighting off the injury bug, he may be in the 2 deep this year.

I was just thinking yesterday how lucky Bama was to add Robinson. Yeah all the young guys that signed up to fight for a spot in a crowded backfield of five stars must be licking their chops now.

I think Carter is gonna be a contributor. He looks like this years Fitz to me.

Shyheim Carter, Robinson, and Aaron Mayden May all play. Mayden is as physically impressive as Carter.

I would have thought Sheffield would have his eyes on Averett. Maurice Smith may simply have had enough of the backup role period and I can see his point a little more as far as getting on the field as a senior. But it's hard to believe that freshmen, who haven't even seen the field yet at any position and then leave, aren't struggling with the idea that they can't beat someone out. You can be a good kid but not necessary prepared to deal with these types of setbacks and adversity and extreme competition.
