Jeff Garrett Transferring From Alabama

Yep. Let's stock up on some quality. If not, leave one open for next year's stack class.
I hate seeing people leave, but it gets more of Johnson's people in there quicker, even if they are just juco placeholders.

Not true. I agree it's slim pickins, but there are still a few guys that Coach is looking at that would have greater impact than Garrett would have. That includes 5th-year transfers, JUCO, former signees of other schools (he's looking at a guy that was a VCU signee before Shaka left), a couple of unsigned 2015 guys. My point...some of those guys can have a greater immediate impact than Garrett would have, that's all.
And, again, I think he's really pounding that pavement for 2016 guys and beyond, too...
Something to consider with CAJ's roster management/recruiting for 2015. Retin is the only sure open scholarship after this season. With the in-state talent in 2016 and 2017, Bama might not be in horrible shape if CAJ decides to not fill every scholarship spot just yet.
One of the good things about getting the kid from Cullman to walk-on is that if there is an open scholly then you can give him a free ride for one year.
We may only go 6 or 7 deep next year if this is the case but I would rather do that than give out a scholly just to have bodies.
^ How can you practice effectively without at least ten players? Wouldn't better players/athletes lead to more competitive practice scrimmages?
I'm puzzled. At best.

Walk-on players and Nick King are what make practice effective when you have a small roster.^ How can you practice effectively without at least ten players? Wouldn't better players/athletes lead to more competitive practice scrimmages?

Use the Ballboys!

If nothing else you take a Willie Kouassi (sp?) to fill a scholly for 1 year. He is a big body who can give you 5 fouls if Taylor gets in foul trouble plus he would be another very good practice player going up against Taylor every day.
Me also! Sometimes, it happens! I really think that we will fill this out by the time practice starts. Player development is what should be happening this summer.
CAG said he was talking with coach Saban. If I remember correctly when he came in the process started immediately. Really fun to watch and see where this goes.
