Whatever - none of these guys that are on the fence are making a terrible decision leaving. Certainly not Wills.

His draft grade is 2nd round, not mocks which have him in the 1st rnd.

Unless he bombs in the combine he should be fine.

So much for Willis being 85% staying.

Willis got a 2nd round grade, however scouts believe he will go 1st round. Not top 10, somewhere between 20-30.

Ruggs also got a 2nd round grade, but with a great 40 time at the combine, he could get into the 1st round. Somewhere between 25-30.

Funny how the word was McKinney was coming back until word got out that he got a 1st round grade, then the "insiders" went from he is 100% coming back to likely gone.

Common sense says that Ruggs, Willis, McKinney and Harris are gone. Tua is the wildcard, depends in the info he got from the doctors yesterday. If he got good news, he is also gone. If not, he will be back at Bama next year.

Bama got Leatherwood, Moses and likely Smith coming back. I will take that.

Assuming Tua and Fromm jump to the NFL, then Bama will have one of the top returning QB in the SEC in Mac Jones.

The SEC doesn't have a lot of good QB coming back next year.

With the emergence of Mac as a legitimate above average SEC QB, my checklist for returners was

- Moses
- one of the tackles
- one of the receivers

Everything past that was gravy

Fromm is an NFL QB, IMO. He got fricked over by Kirby's shite WR recruiting in 17 and 18 and Coley's atrocious play-calling.

I see no way that Fromm leaves, especially if Tua stays. Kirby doesn't want a blowout loss in Tuscaloosa this September.

Fromm would be one if coached by the right person

I dunno if Fromm is a starting NFL QB, but he'll absolutely be in the NFL for a decade holding a clipboard.

Do we still know about the assistant coaches?

Could Ansley be an Associate Head Coach and DC?

I haven’t seen anything to the contrary that Tua was leaving. By all accounts with “insiders” and “experts”, Tua should be announcing that he is staying. Of course, everything is “fluid!”

My list remains the same as posted days ago but rehash

Leather-stayed
Moses-stayed
Tua-staying
Smith-Staying
Ruggs- staying

McKinney- final source told me this morning he is staying
Wills- said he is staying to one source not the other so I say 80% stay



BUMP!

80% is not equal to 100%

I would say standards have lowered for someone to be considered an "insider" on this board, but it really hasn't.

People who get "inside" info don't have to share it. They can't guarantee what a player's NFL draft decision, recruit's commitment decision or coach firing & hiring will turn out to be. Getting one's hopes up too much based on what they share and then bashing them relentlessly out of disappointment and anger is pathetic, imo. It's what causes most of them to eventually quit sharing what they hear.

ETA: It's equally pathetic for people to act like an "insider" is a superhero. He just happens to be privy (directly or indirectly) to some "inside" info., that's all.

Jake is no starting NFL QB.....he like AJ can make some great money wearing that baseball hat on Sunday's because most of the backups (some of the starters) in NFL are just above average at best.

Jake will probably be the one to marry a supermodel or some reality show star like Cutler did
