I thought he was 2nd on the depth chart.

He's been here 4 years and has been passed by...just not good enough to start...seems to be a good person as far as I can tell...

Of the Bama players announcing portal this week, Earl Little is the one I'd really like to keep.

You wonder what’s going on behind the scenes. I believe Saban is meeting with all the players today. Typical end of season stuff. Some guys may be finding out their place in the pecking order of things and not liking where they are.
McLaughlin does puzzle me, started 2 years for Bama. Part of me feels like he’s probably had some really nasty things said to him in the last 24 hours from idiot fans.

Looks like Ty might stick around

Holstein is leaving though.

Holstein is leaving though.

He may see himself as the 4th man on the totem pole with a 5* stud showing up. Sees that he will be spending a lot of time on the bench or that Sayin will be passing him on the depth chart pretty quick.

Is that wishful thinking?

Not at all. Just my way of saying it's too early to speculate on who may transfer and why.

I can’t stand the transfer portal because it is really detrimental to player development. On the other hand, you see someone like McLaughlin who was here for years and has development issues.

Wow, really figured Simpson would leave. Holstein being behind Milroe, Simpson, Lonegran, and now Sayin coming in.....that makes sense.

All the transferring is taking the student out of student-athlete. I know people will say the players ain’t going to classes anyway but that just isn’t true.

Zero information but for him to stay Saban may have told him THERE WILL BE an open QB competition next season and he will have a legit shot.

Remember there's another portal window in April. Ty Simpson may be sticking around at least until he sees what the situation looks like after spring ball.

Saban had to have told him something he liked.

This is getting out of hand. There’s no reason for guys like Earl Little to leave. He and Story likely would have started next year.

Where is he going and why is he leaving? I think he would have had a lot of playing time next year.

 

[Tide&True]

I can see why Ty would stay for now. Can’t he choose to leave after spring training anyway?

Maybe a fresh start somewhere (ANYWHERE) else will do him some good. Personally, I'm not at all sad about him leaving.

It must be a strength thing. Kelce competes in the NFL under 300 lbs (289 if hes telling the truth on his podcast). Good technique can overcome some of the size issues at center (not saying Brockermeyer is the next Kelce, but Kelce wasn't all world either when he got drafted).

William Vlachos was an undersized center that went on to become an All American. Barret Jones was another that was undersized but used smarts and technique to get the job done.
