Tagovailoa didn't care about the roster. He said that even if quarterbacks Blake Barnett, Cooper Bateman and David Cornwell didn't all transfer, he would have been fine listening to Southerners butcher his last name.
"It had no factor," Tagovailoa said. "You have to go places to compete. So why not come to the best place?"
Najee Harris, Tagovailoa's roommate, thought the same thing.
Harris, a five-star running back from Southern California, wanted to practice where everyone was a five-star, he said.

rbr opThis is a very nice problem to have for the Tide. It’s not unique, though. USC in the mid-aughts had the same “problem,” notably at quarterback. As surprising as it is that Alabama is still able to sign these players and get the vast majority on the field, it is even more surprising that Alabama doesn’t lose more players to transfer.

The Inside Read: Buzz on Alabama, Chip Kelly, Tennessee-247/rbr

We’ve been told by those close to the program that FSU assistant Tim Brewster is under consideration for the staff’s other opening, vacated by Billy Napier taking the Arizona State OC position.
One source we spoke with believed Napier was ultimately passed over for the Bama OC role, prompting his decision to leave and take a play-calling gig. Those close to the program say Saban had known for a week or two that Sarkisian would take the Falcons job after signing day.

rbr opJimbo Fisher has reportedly grown frustrated with FSU’s unwillingness to pony up the funds needed to keep assistants. Brewster has primarily coached TEs in his career and is known as a top recruiter who was the lead man on top signees Marvin Wilson and Dalvin Cook, so he would be a natural fit in Tuscaloosa.
As for the second paragraph, no surprises there. The staff knew Sark was out and Napier was told he wouldn’t be a candidate, so he moved on to greener pastures.
