I’ve heard as many as 25. But some say it’s not that many. I know it’s a substantial number because one Bama fan went so far as to worry if they’d be able to field two squads for A-Day. So what’s the actual number?

The REC media will keep a lid on it as long as they can to try and settle down the gumps, until they can unload the bank to try and save what they can.

Interested in the facts here as well. New coach took a team of “lesser” talent to the Ship but those kids went to Bama to play for tGOAT.

I've only heard of one: Ricks. Bond jumped in before the announcement. Everyone else was depth that was unlikely to start next year from after the Rose Bowl up to the retirement announcement. ~15 total scholarship guys, maybe? Alabama was over-committed on scholarships and playing in the portal themselves, so somebody was going to leave.

Losing Bond would hurt but he hasn't declared with anyone yet, so that may not be a loss yet. Alabama just immensely upgraded their offensive coaching situation from the Rees OC / Wiggins WRC situation.

All of them, we will have to essentially go through a death penalty stage. I'm not sure the program will ever recover.

There are 23 in the portal but 20 were in the portal before Saban retired so that was happening anyway so no big losses......three more entered the portal after Nick announced.....two no-names and Bond which is a big one. Bond was the receiver on 4 & 31.

You remember 4th & 31 don't you Darth?

You were close. Looks like there have been 2 since DeBoer was hired.

There were 15 in the portal before Saban retired

Math is hard for some if you.
