JaCoby Stevens says if LSU gets rid of Austin Thomas he'll probably flip to Alabama.

I mean is there no limit on how many kids Bama takes this year? You had a list of like 13 last week with 20+ commits. How the F are they doing this

DPP and associate AD.

He was given the title "General Manager" when O took over as interim.

I doubt he goes anywhere...

Idk player personnel director is pretty important. I wouldn't think he would go anywhere if the players like him, but orgeron might want to change that feel to his vibe.

Why would he flip over something less than his position coach or say Moffitt or ARANDA maybe leaving ?

It's about relationships.

Look what hiring Sam Petitto from UGA did for Bama. Flipped/solidified Shy Carter and caused Devonta Smith to decommit from the Dawgs.

And he was just the DPP too...

Since they actually promoted him, I think the intentions were clear to keep him.

Unless he bails, I don't see him being told to leave. He left briefly earlier this year, only for LSU to lure him back from USC.

I think Alleva has more power over this situation than O...

Prolly not the place for it, but this thread gets more activity, so likely gets more responses/answers.

Rashaan Evans tweeted "It's been fun Bama" and then deleted it later. Might mean nothing, but found it to be an odd tweet. Hope he's not considering a transfer. He's in line to be a beast next year.

Maybe it was because it was the last home game of the year? I would devastated if he left. He's so quick for a LB

Would be weird considering he is in line as the starter.

Did anyone know that his younger brother is a freshman cheerleader for Bama?

Didn't, but that makes me feel better about him sticking around. He's inline for tons of PT next year and can make a monster name for himself if he stays.
