re: Anoma entered the transfer portal...and now he is back!!!

No more front 7 players from outside of the south.

NO frickING MORE.

Anoma got some playing time. He picked up a couple of Personal Foul penalties this year. He might have just been in the dog house.

Doesn’t mean it’s a done deal he’s Leaving yet. Hopefully he decides to stick around.

If it's true he is diagnosed with bipolar and he's at the age where the signs of that disease start manifesting I send my prayers to him. That disease is nothing to play with! But, if this is a purely football move and he wanted to go elsewhere I still wish him well and we'll be alright. I hope our St. Frances pipeline isn't harmed.

I don’t know the guy and I won’t claim anything but isn’t a little presumptive to believe he won’t Mature if he sticks around? Lot of guys struggle mightily their first year at bama. And some major players almost transferred too

And some guys decide it's not for them. If they leave respectfully then I don't understand the need to slander them on the way out. Maybe he is immature, or maybe he realized it wasn't working and worked up the courage and maturity to make a hard decision and move on.

Yea I mean I'm not saying he is or isn't scared or being immature, I'm saying we don't have any idea and it's pathetic to paint a kid that way solely because we're mad we lost a cog in our football machine.

Because we have no fvckin clue right now about why he is leaving or his behavior or reasoning. And frankly, short of him pulling a Kamara and slandering us to recruits, I'm not sure it should really even matter.

I get that Anoma was the biggest pick up of last year's recruiting class and that losing him hurts because of that, but we have no idea what is going on in the building and choosing to transfer isn't some poor testament to character. Can I now question everyone else's character/integrity because they have changed jobs before?

We typically do as a society question someone's character and maturity if they leave a job before they've been there for a year. I'm not saying it's right or wrong for people to question the young man but that's a really poor comparison for your argument.

I find that those who question people's character and maturity over leaving a job before a year are also those who benefit from the labor of the person. On a personal level I don't know many under the age of 40 who care about the length someone stays in a job. Staying in a bad fit makes no sense.

Also clears the path even more for Alfano to show up and immediately jump into the rotation if they decide to start him out wide.

We have Ray, Parks, Alfano, Eboigbe, Bogle if he sticks, K. Harris, King to follow Lewis, Allen, Jennings, Latu (DE/OLB). It sucks but it's not as bad as losing another ILB.
