I don’t understand Bama pursuing such a mediocre safety like Ed Woods from Arizona State. I guess CKD sees something but to the casual observer, pursuing this guy is a head scratcher when there are more talented DBs out there.

He’s a corner

Looks like we're currently at 86 on the roster:

I imagine the kicker we got from the portal did not come if he was not offer a scholly. Probably got some NIL money since he won the aware last year.

I heard every linebacker automatically gets a grad scholly with an assistantship.

The Lee Roy Jordan scholarship for graduate linebacker excellence is the exception to the 85 rule.

Just a thought, but somebody is going to fund a preferred walk on NIL scholarship that is functionally equivalent to full cost of attendance at some point to help schools build depth under transfer free agency.

Do you know he's mediocre, have you watched many ASU games? Just assuming the guy is bad because he plays for a West Coast team that doesn't get much TV attention isn't probably a great way to evaluate. Especially considering current coaching staff has had to look at film on the guy for the past couple seasons and had a couple live looks at him. You'd think that they know what they are evaluating.

He plays in a similar system that our D will be running and has been a 2-3 year starter now. He also probably wants to move up from the late round draft projection by playing the SEC, so he'll be very motivated.

14 will have a long and difficult recovery. Not sure he will contribute any for the 24 team.

Perry sat under Saban. Must not have seen any daylight under DeBoer

This is one I had a feeling would transfer. Think he was running with the third group during ADay.

Thought Perry was going to be an under the radar gem coming out of high school, and that he would be better suited to contribute in a 4-2-5 under Wommack than Saban’s 3-4 base, but I guess not. Best of luck to him going forward.
