Glad to finally have a QB over 6'1 and a WR over 6'1. Saban was the best to ever do it but I often felt lately that our QBs and WRs were undersized and I used to get jealous of guys like Brown, Treadwell, and Metcalf at Ole Miss. I know it's not all about size but it's hard to jam big WRs at the line of scrimmage.

He was a special player. How have our last three WR classes panned out? Jalen Hale looks like the real deal. Law is a good all-purpose player, should flourish with DeBoer. I feel Prentice could breakout too.

I'm not trying to put Saban down, I'm just really excited about moving forward and our new offense.

We are going to be fine at wr with Prentice, hale, law, and Bernard even if Williams doesn't come. Will be nice if he does, but all those guys are solid and will thrive in the system. Odom also might get used as a wr if he's legit, he's more of a big wr than a te at the moment. 6'6" 215 and runs 4.6, would be a nightmare to guard

You had your mix of drunk and high college kids, the few teachers left on campus teaching evening/night classes, and the middle aged locals who were looking at us college kids in complete disgust. All while being served by employees who did not want to be there lol

I kept hearing all these transfer UA has but just saw that we only had 10 since Saban retired. The other 20 were pre-retirement.

Downs, Amos, and Niblack are the ones I wish we could have held onto. I do think Bond has a lot of potential but not sure if it had to do with Milroe but was not impressed over the season with what I saw. Sounds like Proctor was struggling to hang on and transfer out earlier. The other 5 were depth or incoming freshman yet to take a snap. I did not realize how much attrition we had prior to Saban leaving.

I feel the same except swapping Proctor for NiBlack. I am never high on pass catching TE not named Brock Bowers.

If Bama gets Williams and Carter, I think staff will round out the roster nicely.

Amos still hasn’t found a landing spot. He may come back if he doesn’t find a good spot soon.

Only had Niblack there because lack of depth at TE and Proctor's interview seems like he was struggling and may have transferred out after the spring if not sooner even with Saban staying.

In the end to 2 losses that are going to be hard to replace will be Downs and Amos but luckily we are possibly going to have an offense that will put up numbers even when the defense may struggle at times.

Luckily we do not play Ole Miss or Texas. Not sure what Mizzu returns and LSU along with AU have no defense to slows us down. As long as DeBoer can get the offense rolling I like our chances in the fall to make the playoffs but outside of UGA we need to play with few mistakes.

I thought I saw Amos to Ole Miss already. Maybe that was just a rumor.

I really think we have some young athletes in the DB room might surprise us this year, along with whoever may come through the Portal. Or at least here is hoping.
