We will have a center in a few days just wait for it.

Guess it's time to update the graphic and pencil in Tony Mitchell as the starting Rover

Skip the DB portal bonanza and join me in the “can DeBoer and Co. pull off a little developmental magic and get one of our QBs to make the reads they need to make?” watch.

I sure hope so, because we're going to need to score 70 points a game at this rate

Alabama Football. At least we aren't the Dallas Cowboys.

Feel like our needs in the portal right now are:
* Corner (field and boundary)
* Center
* Wide receiver
* Offense tackle
* Safety
We may be able to roll with what we got at safety but an experienced safety in a similar scheme would be huge with all the new faces in the secondary. I'm very concerned about the secondary in 2024. Even before the coaching change, I felt like the unit's success largely depended on Malachi Moore and Caleb Downs providing leadership and great production. Now we're without Downs and one of the likely drop-in replacements at corner (Amos). The corner Muhammad from Washington would be a great add but if he isn't attached to DeBoer then it could be a bidding war we lose with Texas.
Offensive tackle was an interest for Saban before retiring and we signed Betrand. I get the feeling that Pritchett could be a better fit at LT in this scheme than Proctor. He's not as heavy, so he ought to be able to move for pulling blocks on counters much better. Got to imagine they will shop for a drop in replacement for Proctor though. Center needs depth big time. We've basically got one option that is likely ready to play. Brockmeyer may not even be The Answer at center either.
Alabama needs a big body receiver they can play at split end in this offense. Ryan Williams seems more like a flanker body type, if we even sign him on NSD. Even with the loss of Bond, Alabama has two other good slot receivers. I feel like this is a matter of how the current WR room grows in the Spring and if Alabama signs Ryan Williams.

Is he not in the portal? I feel like I saw him mentioned at some point, but it could have been a bad dream.

He was, then he pulled out (inside joke engage).

I knew he was a while back, but for some reason I thought he'd re-entered this week. I might have scrolled over some old news or something.

It's understandable - been a lot of names in there

Depending on injury luck, and assuming DeBoer and his offensive staff can work some magic with our O-line and QBs, I'm feeling considerably better about the upcoming season than I was.
