What I love about forums is the ability to post opinions and thoughts for others to comment on and create dialogue.
As many of us fear there may not be a 2020 season. So I have a few thoughts that I would love feedback on...
1) What happens to upperclassmen? Jaylen Waddle, Dylan Moses, Devonta Smith, Alex Leatherwood, etc... All these guys stayed to bring a title back to Tuscaloosa AND to create value for themselves in the draft. While it's easy to assume they would all leave, do you think the Saban could convince them to stay? Personally I'm torn on this. One argument is: "Hey you've stayed this long. Lets make it worth something and win a title, and grantee a good draft position" a counter is "Hey i've waited this long, I tried to stay and win it all but I don't want to wait ANOTHER year"
2) If they do leave...I feel pretty confident in our 2021 team. OL wouldn't be as strong but DL and Lineback would be in really good shape.
ILB: Christian Harris and Demoy Kennedy
DL: Dale, Baremore,
OL: Sanders, Anderson
Front 7 would be great, we'd take a hit at DB.
QB, RB, WR, we'd be in good shape.
In closing: 2020 (as I've stated on here before and for years prior) was absolutely going to be an Alabama national championship season. So much returning talent and a ton of great recruits in 2020. We will really be robbed if this season isn't played :/
