I think Henry T returns
Posted on 1/2/22 at 11:02 pm to SummerOfGeorge
The transfers in were warranted, but man the amount of Juniors at RB and Seniors at CB kinda give me transfer anxiety.
Could easily see 2 RBs transferring if Gibbs tops the depth chart. CB is kinda weird too, with Kool-Aid and Khyree getting a lot of playing time in the latter part of the season and JAD and Ricks having been starters in the SEC. Not sure Kool-Aid rides the pine, but
The OL is interesting, first time in a while that the future LT isn't already a starter on the line. I'd heard before that Cohen wasn't looked at just as a Guard, but that was the old OL staff.
I honestly believe Tyler Booker might wreck the depth chart too, the UA AA game kinda reinforced my hype for him. Think he's coming in more physically and technically ready than anyone not named JC Latham from the last OL class.

Yep - very good thoughts. I really agree re: CB and LT. CB is going to be a strange dynamic if JAD returns (which I assume he will?). Having a bunch of experienced and talented DBs is a good problem to have, though. I'd be curious to see if one of those guys ends up at STAR or even FS.
LT - like you said - interesting. Lots of "options", but one of those things I'm sure the staff has a very clear picture of based on practices all year that we just have no clue about.
I have no inside sawces or anything but if Jase and Roydell come back healthy I could see Roydell moving on after spring. I just don't see what he has that isn't kind of redundant. I do think we'll see the old Alabama 2-3 back rotation next year. Lot of guys with a lot of snaps under their belt who have some different skillsets.

Metchie is gone. He's not coming back.
Posted on 1/2/22 at 11:15 pm to SummerOfGeorge
Where is 19 leaving to? Nobody drafting him after his lazy arse performance this year. So unless he plans to portal to some garbage college program with no standards, he will be back.
I also wonder if either Henry T or Harris will return. Would be big to get one of them back. I also won’t be shocked if Bama looks to the portal to find either a LT or RT this off-season.

It has just felt like one of those leaving no matter what situations to me all year long. Like something that was decided in the offseason.
Could be totally wrong.

For sure, and I'd love for them all to stick around. I personally wouldn't be surprised if JAD left, but have nothing to base it on.
Really hope Malachi Moore can get healthy, feels like he's barely played(I know he has). Whether it be his injuries or Brian Branch's emergence, just don't notice him anymore.

I really want them to show more of that 2 back set with potentially Gibbs and Jase out there.

Neal and Williams are the only 2 that should go pro. Battle and Harris maybe but could come back and improve draft position. The others should come back!

I think Ray will be back. He was in the 2017 class, but only played in 3 games in 2019 and likely reshirted. 2020 didn't count against anyone's eligibility.
I don't think he would be drafted based on all his injuries.

As of today Bama doesn't have a player that can take the spot of #79 out of all the OL on the roster. That is a big problem.

Evan Neal - Gone
Jameson Williams - Gone
John Metchie - Gone
Jahleel Billingsley - Likely Gone or Transfer
Henry To'oTo'o - I think he's gone. Not much he can do to improve draft. Teams draft on potential.
Christian Harris - 50/50 but I think he stays.
Jordan Battle- He gone.
Ray- I think he move on.
Jameson Williams - Gone
John Metchie - Gone
Jahleel Billingsley - Likely Gone or Transfer
Henry To'oTo'o - I think he's gone. Not much he can do to improve draft. Teams draft on potential.

I think Javon Baker will be in the mix here as well. He got a decent amount of reps in the Cotton Bowl and Saban mentioned more than once that he was playing well in practice. Hopefully, he's back in good graces now...

Billingsley is the last guy that needs to leave, he hasn't had a consistent season since he been here.

I love Sanders moving to the middle. We need our best 4 LBs on the field together

Give me Kool-Aid over JAD but other than that I love it.
