I have a feeling that we are going to lose more guys than just Sexton. Transfers wouldn't shock me at all

On what paper? Your sunshine tinted paper?

Bama next year will have only 1 top 50 recruit and like 4 top 50-100

That is right there in 10-14 range for SEC next year

Who cares? Wasn't UT picked like 13th this year? Auburn probably would have been near the bottom too if they'd picked after the suspensions.

Not directed at u Tom. The only transfer I could see might be key and I only say that because someone mentioned it about a month ago. Point being, talent on this team won't be an issue .

That's how I feel. I can't see a positive right now.

It's just the way picks always go, Bama is almost assuredly going to outperform their preseason pick so it doesn't matter


I'm just telling you that your assumption of how much talent is on the roster is just off base. There are a ton of athletic guys who can develop, but nothing suggesting they'll make huge jumps

This is pure speculation on my part. I know nothing.

I could see Key and Ingram both leaving. Petty wouldn't shock me.

Well petty isn't going to the draft and I doubt any of these guys want to lose a year by transferring

Kids transfer all the time. Sitting a year might be preferred to playing in TTown. You never know how kids think. It all depends on what's going on behind the scenes right now. Could be nothing or it could be a shitfest.

It'll be a very interesting league again next year. I think Mizzou will drop off without Kassius. LSU will not live up to their preseason hype. I think for Florida Chiozza to Nembhard is going to be a harder transition than you think. He's technically a 5*, but that's a little deceiving. He's a lot closer to Petty's ranking than Collin's.

I think State and Vanderbilt will be very interesting teams.

I expect Kentucky to make a big jump up to national title contender. Tennessee and Auburn will stay very good. I don't know what to think of SCAR.

Baring game changing grad transfers, UGA will suck, Arkansas will suck if Gafford goes, and Ole Miss will probably suck too but I still like their guards.

Alot of kids these days transfer more so because of lack of playing time.

They transfer because of all kinds of things not just playing time

Hell, Ingram might be a grad transfer

I could see the grad transfer theory being plausible, but more often than not it's playing time . A couple of guys leaving could even be a good thing, I think butler, wood, and Fleming are an underrated group and they seem ready to get here according to their social media exchanges.

This is kinda off topic I guess (who cares at this point), why isn't Davis playing? Does it have anything to do with him briefly trying to transfer at the end of last season?

My guess after Armond was injured to start the season, him and Avery talked and decided it'd be best for him to take medical redshirt this year, so he'd have one more year to play elsewhere.

I've been talking to people all day about our shite team, and I just keep remembering watching Sexton and Petty trade 3s several possessions in a row at the open practice months before the season. How'd we go from that to not being able to score for 16 minutes?
