Saw comment on Jahleel's new Texas shoot. Said he should have had a football in his hands for the photo but he dropped it!

I feel like the only real transfer loss was Drew Sanders. Yes he would've been behind Dallas, but he was high quality depth and likely would've had to step in at some point given how injuries pop up. That hurts. But other than that transfers won't hurt much.

For draft: Harris and Mathis leaving are the toughest on the defense and then JMO and Metchie are toughest on offense.

I think Neal will get replaced fine by Latham or Brokermeyer, same goes for Owen's. The rest of the OL is already there. Honestly most of the team is coming back and the best pieces are back and hungry

Nothing like Georgia who is losing close to everything

BRob is gotta shock everyone at the next level!!! Roll Tide Roll

[russellpayne]

It's going.to get harder to retain quality backups it the transfer era

[jmgreen]

Yeah I completely agree with you guys it's disappointing to see Baker and Sanders leave I kind of thought they would play in the title game or at least get on the damn field, especially in the second half when we needed to stop the run and make a play in the passing game

[popeyedave]

I don't so far think any of those transfers really hurt all that bad nor do the loses to the draft. Multiple 5 star players on the O line can step in. Tim Smith and a few other guys can fill in the D line holes. Easily replace both CBs with 5 stars Ricks and Koolaid. Then again multiple 4 and 5 stars behind Harris also. Lets not even talk Billingsley he had a foot out the door all season his loss does not hurt in the least bit with his attitude.

[christopherthames]

Soooo the only question this spring is the O line and the wide receiver development in which I'm confident in but right now it's still in question. Defense, special teams, running back, quarterback are all legit.

[NovejSpeed]

Damn it was so sound with his tackling I really really like watching it Drew!!!

[philipmeyer]

Next yrs Playoff across most sports platforms has 1 Alabama vs 4 Notre Dame and 2 Ohio St vs 3 Georgia

“Some of the transfers sting more than the guys leaving for the NFL draft”?!? Huh!?!!!

There is NOT one single transfer that hurts us or that we will even notice they are gone next year.
Only one who was DECENT was Sanders and he was simply average. Our defense is based around our OLB/edge rushers. Without ELITE talent at those two positions we are an average defense.

Will Anderson was 60%+ of the reason our D played pretty well at the end of the year.

Dallas Turner finally got the playbook down and showed he was twice the dominant player that Sanders was. Dude has 8.5 sacks in only what 6 games of truly playing a lot?! The best edge rush tandem in the country coming back next year. Sanders would have only spelled DT. Jeremiah Alexander would have also jumped Sanders by game 2-3 next year.

Billingsley leaving is a blessing. Biggest BUST of the season this year. All that talent and can’t keep his mind right. Latu completely stepped up and showed him up w half the athleticism. Dude showed flashes two years ago bc all the attention Waddle and Smitty dictated. He thought he could simply show up and just be an automatic NFL draft pick. Dude showed he isn’t the dominant player we thought he was.

All of the other players simply clear out roster space and dead weight for us to have a huge 30 player signing class. Next years class might be Sabans most important class of his career that will dictate where our dynasty goes…💪💪💪

[jameyanderson]

I don't know why, nostalgia/redemption maybe, but I want Freddie Kitchens to come back home

[kamenk]

Drew sanders is used to that texas ball were if your the favored you start even if your not Necessarily the better player

[sphhuntsville]

I hope someone tells Jaylen Moody that with Christian leaving.... IT WAS HENRY & HIS POSITION to lose. Jaylen has played more than other ILB other than the starters.

[demarcushoward]

I think Brian Robinson will get drafted and do good in the NFL.

[TheBamaman]

Any possibilities to get an offensive lineman in the transfer portal? With Neal and Owens gone I don't see any platers stepping forward at tackle unless Latham and Brockmeyer step it up.

[temarcussmith]

That is probably the best options for some of them. I still feel Pete Golden is just not putting those guys in position to be successful. Besides Will Anderson making things happen on his own.

[mikepierce]

You left out Chris Owens. Think he will be drafted?

[jimgallagher]

Against Georgia in the SEC championship Jameson Williams had 7 catches for 184 and 2 Tds and Metchie had 6/97 and 1 Td in two and a half quarters. That's a lot of production missed in the Natty. Not saying we would've beaten Georgia in the rematch but it would have certainly been a different game and we would've had a better chance. Regardless, Georgia put together a winning Td drive when they had to and we couldn't stop them. Congratulations to Georgia on their national championship.

[Metcraft]

Is O'Brian staying or going? I expect gone. Who is OC for 2022?

[theknowitall]

If we lose O'Brien (hopefully) go after Herman or Brady. My first choice would be to bring back jim McElwain but I know that isnt going to happen.
