It’s really starting to look like without Saban and with the new age of making money in CF we are going to become just like everyone else. Makes me sick to even type that out.

No one freak out, but some dude posted this on BOL about 10 minutes ago:

quote:

getting intel from someone who is closely tied to one of our key players.

*caleb is staying according to what he was told last night.
*kayden proctor intends to transfer (likely today)—he’s homesick.
*we expect two corners, a wide receiver, and the center from Washington all to land with Alabama.

My contact was with this player all weekend and talks to him daily.

Anyhow, just thought I’d share.

Hopefully we can get another lineman from Washington.

Try to convince Proctor to stay but if not it is what it is.

This would be as shocking as if Downs entered the portal. Crazy if it happens

Someone replied in that thread that Proctor wanted to enter the portal immediately after the Rose Bowl and Saban talked him out of it.

Apparently his girlfriend attends Drake University in Des Moines and they don't get to see each other that much.

Naturally, he'll end up in Ann Arbor, Columbus or Athens.

Weren't people saying Proctor being in the way was part of the reason we didn't land Seaton.

As much I hate losing guys, especially some one like Proctor who did develop and played hurt, I still can't be real concerned. For 3 years we have put together underperforming O lines with 4 and 5 star recruits.

I am more than happy to see who Huff gets in here and see what they can do.

The only players I hate to see go or dudes in the secondary and right now Oatis if he decides to go.

EtA: And Downs Only one that truly hurts. But hell better to have this band aid off .

Possibly or maybe this guys wake up one morning and change their mind. No one knows what actually goes their heads other than themselves

That’s how fast it changes. I know he was good when I went to sleep. He got a big offer.

I beat teams were pooling their money . We don't care where he goes just anywhere but Bama. Cfb is going to break down Bama's roster come hell or high water.

It was basically a bidding war. Bond got on it quick maybe too quick. Downs let there be a bidding war. If people knew what went on behind the scenes.

Isn't it funny that we got in hella trouble for buying a player back in the day, and now, under the cover of NIL, it's done by the minute. What a joke....

So Alabama can't outbid teams for players on the roster? Not a good sign going forward.

I'm amazed and at the same time not how much money is being ponied up for this roster of players now that the gates are open, it is just crazy. Just proves the talent Saban could attract. Obviously no one is throwing this much money at Washington and Arizona's roster. I can't believe this much will be thrown around when Michigan opens up. People want the 85th man on Bama's roster and are willing to pay for it .
