I'm having a hard time following this player thing when we don't even know our coaches yet! I don't see how any kid can commit to us without knowing that information.
Appears Ricky Tarrant is Transferring
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
It sure seems like both sides handled it well from the statements and what I've read. While I'm sad to see him go, I do wish him well moving forward.
Exactly! I won't name any names but there are 2-3 other players that I would like to see transfer to open up scholly's for other players. Given the caliber of player that I *think* CAJ is going to be able to sign I think we can upgrade our roster very quickly.
Yes, but plural, coachES! You're right tho, we do have CAJ and that says something to them.

Dumb, Dumb, Dumb move. You have one of the best PG's in terms of assists ever and you don't want to learn from him. CAJ averaged 13 assists a game his senior season. Ricky would have a chance to turn pro. I guess he'd rather score rather than distribute.
That is sorta how I felt watching him this past season, that he might be better suited to be a SG instead of a PG.
Tarrant always seemed a little "different" than the other players but he played with passion and seemed to improve his defensive effort before his injury. I wonder if schoolwork came into play in his decision.
I figured him for a SG as well; he can create and score. If Bama can sign a good player with more years of eligibility in his place then this won't hurt so bad; won't he be a senior this upcoming season? It is kind of late to expect this but there is always hope.

Honestly, I hope Retin stays put....his defensive energy is insane....and if CAJ can get in his head in a good way -- Retin can be a huge difference maker on D - and may be the best penetrating guard we have.
He originally signed with Tulane which is supposed to be a fairly high academic standard university. He has already burnt his redshirt year so if he transfers to another D1 program (rumor is Texas Southern) the only way he can do that and be eligible to play is if he will graduate this spring or summer.
I wish him well wherever he goes. If he does not want to play here he does not need to be here. It gets one more person here because of Johnson rather than Grant a year earlier which is good for us.

Not sure i understand if the Texas Southern thing is true. Why go there for your Senior year? It is not like he is preparing for the NBA or anything. The team really needed him next year. I can see Gottfried coming in and getting Hale as well. Like Wimp said- next year is going to be very lean no matter who the coach is. Not a good decision in my opinion.
I don't understand why everyone is being hard on Tarrant... If he don't want to play for Alabama anymore so be it. Hale, Coleman and Retin could transfer.
Yea - this is the selfish existence of this generation. If the rest of those kids transfer next season will be epically bad. I guess all of those kids think they are Trevor Lacey, right?
