Since they started classes, they have to go the transfer portal route instead of being released from their NLI. Remember when Kiffin and Orgeron called their EEs and told them not to go to class? Pretty much the same idea here.

Bama roster update; Scholarship players: 75 Blue chips: 68 Of the 75, 39 are freshmen or redshirt freshman. I think we see several more of the young guys exit after spring since they are stuck because Saban waited to announce after classes started.

Easy on the McCormick kid. Pili was also in the 2016 recruiting class.

Bama fans acting like this is the end of the world, but they had similar transfer portal numbers last year. That index score will come up as they add UW players that follow DeBoer. Note that most of those 17 3-stars that are transferring out were 4/5 stars coming out of high school. 2023 2024

This will be an underrated impact on Bama next year. Having that many really good football minds on your staff with a no doubt "head chef" to prevent the "too many cooks in the kitchen" effect, meant they would always have a top tier gameplan and scouting report.

He also missed some. Pope, Amos, McClellan. Oops forgot Blackshire too.

I don't think that will be true next year unless there are a lot more that defect between now and the end of the 30 day window. By my count, they are currently projected to have 80 scholarship players and 70 of them are 4 and 5 stars.

Here is another view of our roster. It should line up with LWS, but it's organized based on years of eligibility left and position. Parentheses show 247 star rating. If you are wondering why we have depth issue on the OL, I think this chart sums it up pretty well. If/When we add Heard, he will...

When I first started playing fantasy football with defensive players, I remembered being surprised that Buster Skrine scored a lot of points. Turns out it was because Joe Haden was locking down the other side.

This staff was always going to be walking into a problem this year because of the 2021 class (Christian Charles is the only player left). OL is a development position and that gap was going to hit us in year 4/5. They have done a good job to this point recruiting portal OL (hit on Campbell...

It may just be easier to spot orange, but I’ve seen 10x more vols fans here in Orlando.

I don’t work at UT, but UT’s website says mid-December. I think the rumor of today being the announcement was probably started by parents/students speculating on social media that mid-December meant December 15th. The decisions weren’t delayed.

Yea, but that’s not how the class ranking algorithm works. You can go to the 2015 class calculator on 247 and drop the bottom 10 guys off. The class score drops from 287 to 282, which was good for 5th place that year. They try to make sure that quantity doesn’t overpower quality in their rankings.

I don’t think Hadden has a year left unless they find a way to redshirt him for his 2019 season at Independence or this year. Neither are realistic though.
