Here is who I think gets bumped up after the all star games after reading the updates and analysis. This is only based on players who played in any all star games:
- Bryce Young- #1 player in country
- Will Anderson- 5 stars top 10 player
- Brian Branch- stays the same
- Chris Braswell- maybe moves up slightly or stays same
- Quan Robinson- stays the same
- Thaui Jones Bell- stays the same, maybe drops a few spots
- Malachi Moore- stays the same.
- Jah-Marien Latham- moves up slightly
- Kristian Story- stays the same
- Javion Cohen- moves up maybe 100 spots(currently 340)
- Javon Baker- stays the same or drops a little bit
- Jamil Burroughs- moves up maybe 100-150 spots (currently 342)
- Damien George- stays the same. maybe moves slightly
This is based on the analysis i have read, mainly from 247sports and some from Rivals. What yall think?

Based on what? I heard nothing positive or negative from him at the all star games. Not doubting you, just makes me wonder what makes you think he proved himself
Film of him going up against Burch in practice and in the game. I saw one play where Burch got to the QB during the game.

Don't know, but it may be because we have more players returning than we originally thought.

Short answer: We need room within the 85 limit for 14 early enrollees but have room for only 13 right now.
Detailed answer: We cant exceed the 85 total counters limit at any time, even temporarily. So, when new signees enroll early (in Jan.) on scholarships there has to be enough players departing who were on countable scholarships for the fall term and won't be for the spring term so we don't exceed the 85 total counters limit. We had 83 total counters going into Dec. and 11 total who either graduated in Dec. or are juniors departing early for the NFL draft and therefore won't be staying on scholarships for the spring term. 83 - 11 = 72, giving us room for 13 early enrollees. We need room for 14. I also double checked the total counters and it appears we'd have 86 if all 14 enroll early. BUT, it also appears we'd be able to open up another spot in time for Moore to enroll early if Najee decides to declare for the draft and doesn't stay on scholarship for the spring term or if Ford transfers quickly and enrolls elsewhere for the spring term. So, that's the "numbers crunch" explained in detail.

Do we know who is already enrolled and on campus? All 14?
Posted on 1/8/20 at 8:04 pm to tider04
Pretty sure the only ones that havent made it is Moore and Bell.

Bell will arive on Sunday. As I explained above We need 1 more open spot for Moore to enroll early and fit within the 85 total limit.

quote:I'm pretty sure schools aren't allowed now to just process players (yank their scholarships because they're not playing well). Its gotta be for some other valid reason such as poor academics or team, University or NCAA rules violations. Otherwise, scholarships have to be provided for 4 years, unless they earn their degree sooner than that.

However, once a player enters the transfer portal, then the school doesn't have to renew their scholarship for the next academic year, even if they decide they want to stay after putting themselves on the market. Reason being it's not fair for the school to be forced to continue investing in a player who's likely to enter the portal market again looking for a situation he likes better.
Bullovas and DeLong might be able to graduate before next fall if they've taken enough summer classes, Then UA wouldn't be obligated to keep them on an athletic scholarship. They could try to grad transfer somewhere or just move on with life after college and football.
For example: Elliot Baker was a juco OL tranfer to UA who redshirted his 1st season at UA and graduated in Dec. after his 2nd season of being just a scout team player. So, he still had a 5th year of eligibility left, but Bama didnt keep him after he graduated. Guys who havent become good enough to play more than just in "mop up duty" by the time they get their degree typically move on -- parting ways on good terms.

Opps - maybe not 14 for 13 spots. Looks like 15 for 13 spots, or am I missing something?

Is Latham an EE?
Posted on 1/8/20 at 11:04 pm to Carlton
I have no idea. Just going off of Surge's list on the second post.
Posted on 1/8/20 at 11:11 pm to Tw1st3d
247 doesn't have Latham as an EE, probably just a typo in Surge's post.

Thanks

Yeah, my error. Latham signed early but isn't enrolling early. I've now fixed the 2nd post to flag him with ^ instead of *. The 247 commits list and player profiles do accurately identify our early signees (sunrise emblem) and enrollees (clock emblem), but one exception to that is BOL/247 isn't revealing that George has already signed ("secretly") even though Hank knows it and it's also pretty obvious. I suspected it and DMd Hank about it and he said, "Just between us, I'm told that he did sign early and he plans to announce at a ceremony with teammates at his HS in Feb." So, at first I was just saying it appears that George is the OL that Saban mentioned had signed but didnt want it announced yet even though it was easy to figure out from Saban mentioning that an OL had already signed.

Don't tell anyone that the obvious is true, so he can surprise them all when he announces it.
