Was super excited when he signed with Bama, him being a legacy and the #1 inside linebacker in the country. I'm confused as to why he didn't work out. Will he graduate before he transfers?

But I do hope he makes it wherever he goes.

Knew his dad while at Alabama, so I was extremely excited the young man came here. Wish him the best of luck!

Kind of figured it would happen at end of season. Saban and the staff don't miss much, but he's gotta be at the top of the list.


Good luck to him whereever he lands

I seem to recall the consensus between Mack and Ben, was that Mack was going to need time to develop and Ben was about ready. The exact opposite happened.

I remember like the 1st or 2nd game of their Freshman year Mack catching a TD out of the backfield and thinking, oh, Ben must be so good they moved Mack to H-back to get him on the field.

I don't think it's fair to include him here. I think his last 2 years would have been more productive if we had a QB like Tua slinging it.

If you're going with highly rated qbs you'd need to include Billy Ray and Vince Sutton.

Well, hope he does well wherever he goes but we need the roster spot for someone who may help solidify our depth on defense.

That list isn't a "busts" list, it is more of a list of guys that every offseason we'd all say "that dude is gonna breakout" and for whatever reason they didn't.

Jerrell Harris could be added on there too for his first 3 years.

Yea, but once AJ became the QB he left, so he wasn't around that long. Though I guess the same could be said for BJ Scott.

Star Jackson was gonna be our Pat White or something, too.

Its somewhat surprising. His on field performance kind of suggested he doesn't have a passion for the game. I would think getting to be a part of the best team in america and reaping the rewards that that brings would keep him around, and take advantage of a free education.

Unless his performance is a result of being buried on the depth chart, and going to a place that will have less competition is what he wants.

I wrestled with Star, but he left us too soon.

Yeah, I was going to add Jerrell to your list as well.

Which list would Tyler Love and Von Ewing fall under?
