JT Daniels is transferring…again. I’m sorry, but this guy sucks if he can’t beat out Stetson Bennett.
Figured this was coming, as I heard during the season that he told coach bowl cut the only way he would play is if Bennett got injured so he would not lose any eligibility

Billingsley to Texas and Sark may hurt us in that game. Sark can scheme with the best of them and JB has ability. I doubt Sark asks him to block, he's seen that movie.
True, but Sark won't have Mac, Najee, Devonta, or Waddle to scheme Billingsley open this time around. Plus if earlier posts on this thread are accurate you'll have a Bama defense seeing red whenever he sets foot on the field....

Just a little information and clarification on the Transfer Portal
Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.
A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
The portal has been around since October 15, 2018, and the new calendar cycle within the portal begins each August. For example, the 2021-22 cycle started August 1.
During the 2020-21 cycle, 2,626 FBS football players entered the transfer portal (including walk-ons). That comes after 1,681 entered during the 2019-20 cycle and 1,709 during the abbreviated 2018-19 cycle. In comparison, 1,833 Division I basketball players entered the portal during the 2020-21 cycle after totals of 1,020 in 2019-20 and 1,063 in 2018-19.

I only remember Hightower being good in his first year. Moses was if you mean the games he played as a TF. He was never good again. The other guys got good in their second year at the position.
Just reading through this. CJ Mosley was a consensus Freshman All-American in 2010 . He started all 13 games. One of the most cerebral linebackers we have ever had. With out a doubt he was really good every year he was on campus.
