I suppose. I just think it’s easier to keep the guys you have on campus. He stayed enrolled through the coaching change and went through Spring. Why is a top 150 recruit feeling after one spring like he doesn’t have a future with the program?

Obviously things like this are going to happen, but a staff works their arse off to get a top 150 guy on campus. You got this guy and he was bought in enough to see through until now. Sometimes you have to work those relationships and show them you have plans to develop them or what they need to get on the field.

Idk. If this is a one off it’s fine I suppose. But we’re at a high enough level where we don’t have to win with the island of misfit toys.

Is there some report out there the staff didn’t try to keep him or something? Almost everybody on this team was recruited by a different staff. would you feel this way if he had left after saban retired? I don’t think it’s a bad move to stick it out through spring and see how you fit with a program and where you are on the depth chart. Then you can transfer like he is obviously doing

I am not sure how Deboer will work out long term but for him to have a chance he needs to have players that buy in to what he wants.

These players jumping ship are part of the reason Saban hung it up. Recruit a player once and still have to recruit them every off season to stay.

For those that do not remember Saban was blasted in the media and a website was dedicated to him about oversigning. He gutted the roster on his arrival.
