Re: Brandon Kennedy Reportedly Transferring From UA (Will be Grad-Transfer)

Like Warmack, Kennedy was part of the Tide's 2015 recruiting class.


With those two gone, only nine of the 24 members of that class are still at Alabama.

:eek:

Hope he lands on his feet somewhere else. He played well for you in 2016.

Who replaces him as your #2 center?

Do we really want a freshmen to start at C? Somebody on that line gotta shift to C... Ekiyor needs a year to adjust.

Not the starter - the backup. Ross will start.

Who said anything about starting? We're talking about Ross' backup.

I think he means if RP were to get hurt. Could be one of those thing where EE is getting some reps with the 2s, but we're sliding another OL over as the true #2 if needed

I have no idea how good Ekiyor is, but you only had 3 players take snaps at center, and 2 are gone. I would move Ekiyor up in the rotation unless he is clearly not ready. But you need a 3rd center, so someone else will clearly be getting practice reps at the position.

Whither Josh Casher? Or is the (nationally) No.-2 ranked center from that 2015 recruiting class past tense, positionally speaking?

A lot of younger guys have jumped them and at some point you gotta move on to get an opportunity to start and potentially make the pros.

Jess posited that Ross might move around and Casher take over at Center.

This will get us down to 14 OL, before considering incoming freshmen.

I`d strongly suspect that these transfers are following honest and forthright discussion with the coaching staff. These young men are doing it the right way, and you certainly can`t blame them for wanting a better chance at significant playing time. Best fortunes to both Brandon and Chance.

This rule needs to be changed. Does anyone really think that Kennedy should not be allowed to attend the school of his choice after graduating?
