***Evan Neal picks BAMA***

I did. We started the year with 18, losing 3 and bringing in 5 or 6. It seems like a lot of numbers for a group that doesn't rotate players regularly.

Casher is a fifth year guy, petitbon intends to transfer. So as of now, we lose 5, gain 5/6.

Also,have to think about 2020. Other than sebuirs we could potentially lose leatherwood, Willis and Brown to the draft.

And a few of the new guys need a rs to add size and acclimate to sec play.

Who did you have on the list to start the season? I have 16 scholarship players.

3 seniors (Casher, Pierschbacker, and Cotton)0
3 rs juniors (Baker, Womack, and Petitbon)
1 junior (Jonah)
3 rs sophomores (Brown, Lashley, and Owens)
2 sophomores (Leatherwood and Wills)
2 rs freshmen (Brannon and Randolph)
2 freshmen (Brown and Ekiyor)

In addition to the three seniors and two expected departures (Jonah and Petitbon), I could see Baker moving on. Don't think he played any this year after redshirting last year.

6 feet 8 inches tall, and he is down to 360 pounds. He has incredibly quick feet for such a large man. He is a tackle, to be sure. I think that he is going to need to wait one year to start, though.

Cole Cubelic mentioned yesterday he could see Neal playing next season since he's getting on campus in January. Said he might not start but could be a second team guy contending for playing time (ala Leatherwood and Wills in 2017).

I did a double take when I saw those numbers yesterday. Guy is huge.

Cole Cubelic posted a video of Evan Neal blocking against Kayvon Tibeaudoux at the Opening. Evan stoned him cold. I know they're both high school players but it bodes well for Evan that he can dominate against the best high school competition..

… and seems like he was listed as 6' 7" until yesterday.

… the BAMA effect, I guess

[bamacpa]

You're right RTR. Perhaps I had counted right after least season and included Warmack and one other. It looks like we go into next year with 16 again.

I agree on Baker. For a 5* JUCO guy he has been incredibly underwhelming and I think Saban will tell him to move on.

This was one of my biggest gripes, how in the heck he isn't top 10 with them I'll never know. he is in the composite though. (3 top 10 to be exact)
