On3 has a pretty decent tracking system for all portal entry articles. Here's the link: Transfer Portal College Football News

Very curious to see if anything happens with Tacario Davis. He's been in the portal since his head coach left, but he's also participating in Spring practice with Arizona.

The 3-Man Front folks on WJOX talked with Mike Rodak, the beat reporter for 247, earlier today. A few tidbits:
- He expects all four quarterbacks to stay at Alabama.
- Said anywhere from three to eight players could portal out, but didn't name anybody specifically (although he alluded to Tony Mitchell as one)
- Expects Alabama to look for cornerback help / depth in the portal, along with a DL and possibly an edge rusher
I don't think he said this specifically (although he might've), but later in the show the hosts were hinting pretty heavily that Alabama was looking at multiple players from a variety of Big 10 schools as portal additions. They said "several" Big 10 coaches are nervous that Alabama will come after high-profile players from their schools, offering large NIL packages.
I don't know if that's in response to the raiding that went on by OSU and others after Saban retired, or if the new staff has identified key players to target based on specific needs, but Alabama's intentions are apparently an open secret among Big 10 coaches.

I can't believe they don't list o-line as possibilities. Especially if Brailsford is not around.

Sounds like Courtney Morgan is using his connections in B1G country. Excited to see how this all shakes out.

Rodak did address that a bit; he said he's taking DeBoer at his word that Brailsford will be available in the fall. He also said Brockermeyer has done well this spring and has earned the trust of the coaches.

This post sounds aggressive. As though Alabama is still a monster roaming the countryside.
Nice.

Not really a secret. DeBoer told Josh Pate he was going to be very aggressive when the portal opened up & Saban said the same in his sideline interview Saturday.
Posted on 4/15/24 at 5:29 pm to AlterDWI
Saban said same thing?

Saban supposedly told some reporter recently that he / Alabama had planned to be aggressive in the portal this spring before he decided to retire, but I don't know if he identified specific position groups as targets.
And of course any position targets likely changed after the exodus once he announced his retirement.

So it's likely both knew and whatnot?

Sources tell me that Alabama QB, Ty Simpson will be back in the Fall for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
He is not exploring any options in the transfer portal
Simpson had an incredible spring, Nick Sheridan was on my show last week and he said this about Ty’s performance this spring.
“Ty has had a great spring” -Nick Sheridan

This made me laugh. It reminds me of my favorite Jameis quote: “Well I just think we were prepared. It’s like my trainer told me…..what did he say?….(thousand yard stare)…..he just told me to be prepared”

If Simpson is staying, I think it means he feels pretty good about his chances to eventually be the starter this season.

Kadyn Proctor officially in the portal with a “do not contact” tag.
Posted on 4/16/24 at 10:02 am to CapstoneGrad06
Awfully quiet out there so far

Love the confidence. Heard that's kind of an important attribute in a QB.
Any guesses on which Bama players hit the portal today?
