Since he has two years to play, he really does add the needed depth. After this season, Drake is gone. Henry is surely gone to the NFL. After those two, there's no experienced guy left.
You would think that is a QB was leaving he would have done it already. We might just have an open spot for him without someone leaving.
I meant the other way around, Miller or Golson for example. There were rumors around both of those for a bit, both of those seem to have their final locations determined and then this rumor pops up. Doesn't mean there ever was any truth to any of those though.
If Henry doesn't get better at hitting holes or unless he develops more shiftiness behind the line, I don't think he will be too highly sought after in the nfl.
He's the best 2nd-level back in the conference, maybe the country. He's gone after this year, barring a huge injury.
With the several dismissals we've had recently, did that not open up a couple of spots?
Saban typically cuts it as close as he can, for good reason, since the scholarship limit is an arbitrary limit. What that means though is that a departing player might not automatically mean an additional spot, it might have been one for a player who was enrolling in the summer or fall (my understanding is that Alabama can't have more than 85 on scholarship at a given time, that has no actual bearing on how many were signed and so on).
Agreed. The guy is 6' 3" 240 lbs, can run like the wind, is making all conference teams, on the cover of national magazines, is in most of the experts 1st round mock drafts for next year but some still bash him. I guess he should have been moved to LB (blue font). I can't wait to see what he does with the 1st team reps.
