Time for the NCAA to do away the four game redshirt rule if players are going to use it to “bail” to the portal 1/3 of the way through the season.
BREAKING Jeheim Oatis to redshirt and enter transfer portal
- Thread starter RollTide_HTTR
- Start date
Can’t believe we have so many selfish and narrow minded people on this board. Oatis is just doing what is best for his “brand”. Because playing a team support IS about playing for the name on the back of the jersey and not the team on the front……….
I think his body type might not be a great fit for Wommack's system. Plus the DC just said in the presser that he has been fighting injuries. I am glad he stuck it out at least this far, and as he has limited seasons to make a mark for his own career I have no hard feelings that he wants to try his luck elsewhere.
I say those things presuming that he has not been tampered with. If that's the case ... it would be different.

Dear guys who aren't bought in:
Good riddance. Get out of here so we can forget you sooner rather than later. This has nothing to do with losing to Vandy. It has everything to do with living up to your word of being "committed." We do understand that the Alabama standard isn't achievable for everyone and if you're leaving, it wasn't for you. That's ok, maybe you'll find something that doesn't require you to work nearly as hard and where your fragile feelings will be assuaged (look it up).
Sorry, not sorry.
Dear guys who are bought in and will stay (and those currently in HS who are committed or may commit to Bama): I promise you that staying at Bama (whether or not you get the playing time you think you need/want/deserve) will be better for your life than 99.737% of any other experiences you think you may need/want/deserve. The word "committed" actually means something and goes both ways.

Article on ESPN mentions all his injuries. He missed spring for surgeries, he didn't play vs Vandy because of a minor knee issue.
5 guys for 2 spots. Smith passed him.
IMO, time for schools to strike back. Kick him out of school and claw back any scholarship money for this semester. Make him face financial consequences since he is now a professional.
This guy just quit on his teammates. Don't want him here if that is his attitude.
Can the NCAA not do something to prohibit stuff like this from happening in season?

Seems I recall he did play. But he didn't record any tackles.So he didn't play at all this past Saturday against Vandy...?
He was a starter for 2 years. This year there are a few who have moved ahead of him. And now he's not seeing much play time. He's a junior and wants to play. He played very little against Vandy. Not enough to record even one tackle. So I don't really blame him. We have good depth on the DL.
I wouldn't blame him for leaving after the season. I do blame him for quitting on his team in the middle of a season.
