Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

[BamaFossil]

As it relates to Jones-Bell, the kid was a medical redshirt this past season. He’s been banged up much of his career and took this season (at the suggestion of Coach Saban) to get healthy. He would have a lot to overcome to see the field in a normal situation, much less an injured plague start to a college career.

I’m cutting the young man some slack.

Ah! Thanks for the additional info.!

McCord and his father wanted assurances that he would be the starter next year and that Day would not be bringing in someone from the portal. Day was honest with him, told him that they were looking at the portal for another QB, and would not guarantee him the job. So he left. Shrug.

Helicopter Dads exist at all levels of sports I guess.

Jones-Bell leaving could open up a spot for Williams to reclassify to 2024 and come on in, assuming the smoke that he might be flipping to the Barn isn’t really a fire…

Kudos to Coach Day!

FWIW, we also have a few players squeezing the collective for more money.

Modern college football in a nutshell. You have…forgive me @B1GTide…pedestrian starters demanding to the coach “Don’t shop around”. Well…bye…

Qb. Tanner Bailey who is at South Carolina, which played high school ball out of Gordo entered the portal.

Even Vanderbilt (yes Vandy) has over 15 hitting the portal. Some are grad transfers ( which I really don’t have a big issue with) but most are not.

“Attention Portal Shoppers…our Commodore Anchors Down Special today is…..”

Freeze is licking his chops over a vandy transfer

Who is his replacement at QB?

Jackson Arnold

Finishing the season with Bama because he wants a ring. It would be cool if he won a title in Lacrosse next year. How many players have ever done that?

 

[Crimson1967]

If Day told his starting QB he’s bringing in someone else next year I really don’t blame him for leaving.

Notre Dame is the defending men’s lacrosse national champions.

No, he wanted to be guaranteed his job next year. Read my earlier post.

That's amazing
