11 players on the two deep, that quite high. Four starters and seven players that might have been starters this coming year.

Those 17 players not on the depth chart would likely be on there now after those 11 critical players lost.

And in particular, the secondary was hit hard by NFL draft, eligibility expiration, and the portal. Alabama has 1 of 5 starters returning in nickel defense from 2023. We lost a shoo-in starter at corner to Ole Miss and the best player on our roster at strong safety in Caleb Downs to Ohio State. Two competitors at corner - Ricks and Little - went to TAMU and FSU respectively.

We got absolutely hammered in the secondary and need help there in a big way.

We just signed three 5-star DBs - Mbakwe, Brown and Mincy - who were Nos. 2, 3 and 4 in the country at their positions. All are graded at 98, same as Sayin was at QB. All three are early enrollees as well.

This and we also added Domani Jackson. Might add Mohammad who would be a day one starter. Plus we have the spring portal window to address any further issues on the roster. People act like this is 2003 all over again. Insane.

Courtney Morgan was on the Michigan staff in 2021 and played football there, so it'll be interesting to see if he has relationships with any defensive guys who might be looking to leave if Harbaugh and Minter head to the NFL.

Morgan helped construct their roster that just won the national championship. I’m excited to see what they can do. They’re already plugging holes in the roster.

Still somewhere between 79-81 with everything trending positively for all of our targets (except for RW, cause oh no he is going to Auburn or something) and QB Reese's scholly is being honored.

2 portal targets currently:
Jabbar Muhammad (CB)
Khalil Jacobs (LB/S)

3 in class of 2024
Noah Carter (DE)
Ryan Williams (WR)
Quinten Reese (ILB) (committed)

Courtney Morgan

I've read a few articles regarding him here and there, but I'm still unclear on what exactly a General Manager does.

Is it the same role as a Director of Player Personnel?

DAMN, it appears that we gave Ryan Williams so much money that we ran out of the cash necessary to land Jacobs!

What happened with Jacobs?

I don’t want to sound negative, but are transfers from South Alabama turning us down now?

He said CKD sounds like a girls name and headed straight back to Mobile.

I think We will start seeing a lot more freshman playing on defense post Saban.

Less complex scheme should get a lot of younger guys on the field.

Caleb Downs was a true freshman in Saban’s defense and balled out. Not saying we have another Downs coming in but it’s possible.
