Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

Looking for clicks.
Maybe so. But, looking from the outside at the numbers and players’ years left, not unreasonable to think doing one would cause the other to happen. Nobody has five A-dog QB’s, KD decided to roll with Mack. Risky choice but such is life.
 
If this is true then CFB has completely gone off the rails if it hadnt before.... showing no respect at all. Should have been run out of town
They say Kirby was on campus a week ago?? Paying respects to Nick? Why didn’t he go to his house? This reported on campus recruiting of our players just isn’t right. Oh sure, coaches can say they weren’t recruiting, but we know how ‘chance’ meetings happen.

anyway, Caleb Downs may have gone to OSU for 2 reasons, one is because NIL, but two to get out of the SEC so he wouldn’t have to play Bama . Did he ever make a statement on his transfer?

Day definitely was in Mobile last night. Hard to believe with OSU getting two 5* players from Bama yesterday that he didn't have some contact with them.

These threads really test my sanity. I don’t understand the venom for kids you don’t know

Why would any of these kids who never lived in Alabama, and wouldn’t have come here for any other reason than to play for The GOAT, be expected to have loyalty to a team that has no other emotional pull other than the coach?

Now, imagine you lost your coach and the rules at play allow any other team to recruit you and pay you (what amounts to) any sum necessary to get you to go?

who, in their right mind, wouldn’t listen? And if the amount was enough, wouldn’t go?

i love Bama, but if Sark offered me $5M to never watch another Bama football game and get rid of my Bama stuff?

Heh

I get most of your point but many of these guys have been on this team for some time now and should have formed bonds with their teammates that mean something. Everyone of these starters that have opted to leave have bailed on their teammates regardless of their allegiance to a university or coaching staff.
 
If you have ever been around some of these elite HS or college athletes, they are like mongrels always searching and restless for the ball and next opportunity. They see their teammates oftentimes as competition to a degree. They just dont form bonds the way most people do. Moving on is just part of the deal and if they make a few friends along the way they keep up with them through social media. And the coaches are the same way...

It could be possible getting out of the SEC especially not going to UGA was to keep from the side/clown show of playing Bama, him and his family probably getting harassed via text and online. It was a smart move on their part where he csn concentrate on football and not the other "stuff" that would have definitely came with goingb to UGA

I'm not sure what some folks were expecting when so many of these kids came to play for Saban, not Bama.

We've got almost all new coaches and a new system now....that will also force some moves.

The portal opening when Saban retired was also like these other teams reaching the end of the map and finding the treasure chest full and wide open.
