after this season Bama loses

Cj will return

I don't think CJ will leave early. He doesn't have the size to be a first round pick.

Depending on how the season wraps up, AJ may or may not return. If UA wins out with him looking impressive in the process I think he might go early, but I really think he stays one more year....unless he is just a sure fire first rounder with a 2012 NC ring and Heisman trophy.

Where is AJ being projected to go in the draft if he leaves early? I haven't kept up with any mock drafts.

I really have no clue about Fluker, but I'm pretty sure DM is gone.

Losing Warmack and Barret Jones will be a huge loss to the OL, but if the others stay, hopefully that will offset the loss somewhat. But if anyone remembers losing Chris Samuels and then later Andre, you know just how big of a loss a single, OL can be, esp when they're of the caliber of those listed.

If we lose AJ and Fluker in addition to the Seniors, then I can't imagine the 2013 offense being anywhere near as effective as they have been this year.

So enjoy this season as much as you can. I know I am.

Assuming you are correct on his size, what will change if he comes back next year? If he grades at top of the second/bottom first, why risk injury if he is going to grade the same next year.


I think Milliner, CJ and DJ are gone, with Milliner being the only sure bet to leave.

I'm certainly no expert on the NFL or the draft. I just don't think CJ will be projected high enough that he should leave early.

I'm not knocking the guy, he's one of my favorite players. Just my amateur opinion.

If he stays, he will be one of the clear cut leaders on the defense and his name will be out there more than it has been this year. Which, that won't make much difference to the scouts really since its not like Bama is some small school that doesn't get exposure.

players on the 2 deep on Defense and that assumes Millner and CJ declare.

Dial, Square, Williams, Nico, CJ, Lester, Milliner?

Suppose they all leave, we return a shite ton of guys who are playing a lot this year.

Trey DePriest
Ed Stinson
Deion Belue
Adrian Hubbard
Xzavier Dickson
Denzell Devall
John Fulton
HaHa Clinton-Dix
Nick Perry
Vinnie Sunseri
Jeoffrey Pagan

4 players on the 2 deep on Offense and that assumes AJ and Fluker come back.

Warmack, Williams, Jones, Kelly Johnson? I think Lacy leaves early because he'll just be losing more carries as Yeldon gets better. I hope Fluker stays, but right now i think it is 50/50.

We'd return :

AJ McCarron
TJ Yeldon
Jalston Fowler
Amari Cooper
Kenny Bell
Kevin Norwood
DeAndrew White
Christion Jones
Anthony Steen
Cyrus Kounadjio
Maybe DJ Fluker
Dee Hart


Special teams we'd still have Mandell and Cyrus Jones may still be the PR man.

Plus we will be adding a lot. OJ Howard will step in and see the field as a Freshman imo.

Really? Haven't you been paying attention to the recruiting? Saban has 4star players in the background we haven't even seen yet. Look how our backups scored 2 TDs on MSS. Everyone said we lost to many good defensive players this year and look where we are. Defense No. 1 again.

There is an old saying:

Never assume, it just makes an arse out of you. :
