Alabama reserve QB enters NCAA transfer portal Al.Com - By Matt Zenitz | mzenitz@al.com

If you care to read the AL.COM article...
Surge and I talked about his scholly/Not status when he joined the team last year and I believe we were in agreement that he was not on Schollarship.

Nah, I didn't get to go. I was having to do as much around my house as I could. I wanted it to be purty in case a tornado came thru I just knew that it would be too wet Sunday to do anything.

Luckily they stayed away.

Source confirmed that Alabama reserve QB Layne Hatcher, who went into the NCAA transfer portal earlier today, plans to transfer to Arkansas State, as first reported by @RedWolfReport

I hope he has a great career up there

Arky State had offered him a PWO spot when he got a similar deal from Bama. He chose the good guys. But, surely the handwriting was on the wall. Think he had 3 plays? on Saturday and believe that was his total experience

This will go down as one of the Great University of Alabama mysteries.

I figure Zenitz has more inside connections than most of the guys that post on here.

I hope he lights it up at Arky State.

Surely he has more than me... I was limited to just trying to work the numbers and If I was wrong with his status, I credited someone else with a scholly they dont have. But, no one may ever really know who is or isnt for sure when it gets to the fringe guys.

I will acquiesce to he who "should" know more than I would ever know.

Hell, it isn't your fault. You were just speculating like the rest of us. I depend on you fellas that spend more time on the numbers than I do. Whether ya'll are right or wrong doesn't really matter to me since I haven't put forth the effort to find out on my own

Watched the game finally
JOBE!!! very aggressive and looked good on coverages
Slade Bolden looks like a player.
Anoma looks like he has figured some more of the game out and will be a force. (Thank you Coach Sal)
Metchie looks good (against the 2's)
Running game will def need to get better.
OLine outclassed by the D.
Bulovas should worry about Reichart(knocks PAT right down the middle).
Delong looked like he has figured it out (Reichart might not be a bad back up for him as well as PK)
Blackledge wanted the PI again JAD to be voided..but it was PI
Shavers catching in a crowd would be nice to have a BIG WR that could be useful.
TE's catching the ball, dont seem to have that on the line TE though.

Plain vanilla, but Oline really didnt show much

But this was just my observations and thoughts, I could be mistaken

I'm not just saying this because I think his uncle is a good guy, but I honestly believe that Slade will eventually be a leader for us. The kid has tons of talent.

who is his uncle?

Saw the game last night and Tua looked bored most of the game. I did not watch any of the 4th quarter though.

We did have at least 4 drops and JJ had 3 of them along with number 80

Solid observations. I came out of spring feeling better about our special teams (Reichart and DeLong both looked really good--and we have elite returners in Waddle and Diggs.) I feel MUCH better about our defense. DL looked dominant, and it looked like McMillon and Lee are both capable guys next to Moses. And the secondary looks better than it has in years. This defense feels like the old Alabama defenses to me. The only downside is I came out of spring feeling less optimistic about our offense. I know we had some OL out, but that unit has a long way to go. Tua was "meh" which isn't really what I wanted to see after his UGA and Clemson performances. Run game was weak, tons of dropped passes. The whole offense just seemed out of sink. Overall, I feel better about this team--I just hope our OL gets healthy and gels and Tua can take the next step as a QB. If those two things happen, this team could bring home a natty.

Remember, there's no scheming against the opposition in a scrimmage. The Offense is running super vanilla stuff that's totally random in its ability to work versus whatever defense. I wouldn't read into it too much.

I've learned to take my cues from Saban regarding what to be concerned about. He didn't like the dropped balls, and he wanted more efficiency in the run game. But he never once indicated concern about Tua or the offense as a whole.
