Leaving: Kool aid, Terrion, Moore, eboigbe, Turner

Not sure: story, Amos, Robinson, Braswell,

Looks like a lot of young guys behind them. Highly rated, but still very young.

Defense is gonna lose a lot while the offense will return a lot.

I would love Terrion to stay. If he does Bama probably has the best secondary in the country.

LBs lose a lot while the D line could be solid. No one particular guy but a lot of really solid guys.

Moore and Arnold are staying as of now.

Right after the game, he said something like, "we have unfinished business" and everyone took that to mean that he was coming back.

He met with Saban yesterday to discuss his future and no announcement either way has been made. However, there was chatter that if he wanted to stay, Alabama would pony up massive NIL money.

Regardless, I think Saban encourages him to go to the NFL since he's pretty much a guaranteed 1st round pick.

I believe (as it currently stands) Arnold and Moore were trending towards staying. Also, I believe I saw somewhere that Lawson is staying.

If so, we need:
1 CB - probably Amos
1 Saftey - probably Devonta Smith
And DL help… we have young pass rushers on the edges, and Tim Smith returning (with James hopefully developing).

On offense: we need an OT and Center.

Lawson and Tim Smith are likely returning.

Inside linebacker will be good with Lawson and Campbell returning. Outside linebacker will be interesting but there is talent ready to play.

If Moore and Arnold stay and Little leaves, it'll be interesting to see if Domani plays CB or Safety.

I want to see how Alabama gets pressure from the defensive line. Michigan defensive linemen whipped our interior linemen. Latham had a bad game, too.

Marshall has another year of eligibility? If Lawson and Campbell return then you'd think he'd hit the portal again.

Maybe he goes pro. I find it hard to imagine he'd return with both of those guys coming back. We did a good job rotating this year but ultimately that will run out.

Terrion will leave... No way he stays after the year he's had. I think emotions got him after the game when he said that he'd stay.

He's gone along with Kool Aid. Low just reported it.

There was no way Arnold should have considered it. He's first round grade. NIL money from brands and collectives can't compete at that magnitude.

I think the key to having a good, very good or even great defense next year is if we retain Kevin Steele. And if he leaves, finding a solid new DC.

Hope we keep him.

I think Malachi had a very solid year. I remember him playing very well in a lot of big moments. He is a very good tackler, specifically on WR screens, getting off a block and making a play.
