I’m loving and enjoying the season, but has anyone seen who we’re bringing back next year? I always like to take a sneak-peek towards the end of the season.

Offensively, we’ll bring back most everyone minus Neal and Robinson. Hopefully William returns for one more year. Also, would like to see Latu and Billingsley take the next step and be consistent game-changers.

On defense we’ll have back To’oTo’o (I spelled that name based on how it sounds phonetically, not sure if it’s correct), Harris, Anderson, Turner, Battle and DJ Dale.

Hope we bring in a knockout recruiting class with players who can be immediate impact phenom players.

If BoB, Marrone and Golding are all gone and we make homerun hires (perhaps Tom Herman or Joe Brady for OC and Pruitt for DC), this team could be the best we’ve ever had. Who knows, though.

Not sure if to'o to'o is back or not. How long was he at UT before he came to bama?

If we cleaned house at coordinator after the season, it would be a great off season to pick off some free agent coordinators.

Jameson Williams is a first round pick. He’s gone.

Op I think you are underestimating the number of 3rd year guys who will be leaving to NFL early.

Henry T is eligible to go out. He has been MIA on any mock drafts I have seen. He maybe should stay another year unless he is guaranteed at least a 2nd round pick.

Williams and Neal are the only 1st rounders of the draft eligible players. Mathis, likely gone too with a high 2nd round grade.

The injuries to Jobe and Metchie might keep them around another year. Chris Allen could be back too.

Harris, HT, Battle and Billingsley are the ones with decions to make. None are 1st rounders, 2-4 rounders most likely. All could play their way into the 1st round next year.

Getting non 1st round players to stay for their senior year is where NIL money will be a big help.

Pruitt for DC


This ain't happening. People should just go ahead and accept it.

Art Briles was cleared of wrongdoing and most people probably figured he was guilty of something. Remember how ESPN made Briles look? Unless you're intimately involved with Pruitt's case you don't know if the man will return to Tuscaloosa or not. People say all kinds of stuff in the media but when the true facts come out things can change.

Will Anderson will be a very, very high draft pick next year, in regards to defensive players. We need to get a good D coordinator who can put some first round defensive talent in the nfl, especially at mlb. A coordinator who can develop mlbs. I feel if we can do that, as well as replace our OL coach and snag us a speedy wr out of the transfer portal, we will be sitting pretty again. Bottom line, yes we have talent, but Coach Saban did perhaps his best coaching job this year. What a ride

I think it'd be smart for To'o To'o to come back. I don't see him as pro ready just yet, tbh.

Should have eligibility left, since last year didn't count against anyones eligibility. He was part of the 18 class, next year would be his super senior year.

Tn threw Pruitt under the bus. They said he cheated. Now he has file a lawsuit against Tn. He wont be around college football anytime soon if ever.

Williams is probably going in the top 15 of the draft. He needs to go if that's the case.

Henry TT is not going in the first two rounds of the draft. Anybody believing this is a true homer if I ever saw one. LOL.

Metchie


I didn't realize Metchie is only a junior. Oh he's coming back and especially with the injury. He was not going to be a 1st or 2nd round pick anyway. He's a slot receiver at the next level.
