He lost to AJ but he was planning to stay and his Mom got sick so he transferred

NCAA rules usually call for transfers to sit out one season, but they allow for exceptions if a player is going to a new school because of a family emergency or illness. There was some debate over whether Sims’s request would be granted after his high school coach, Rich Morgan, told the Virginian Pilot that Sims would not have transferred had he been the starter at Alabama.

I think he transferred for playing time, and just so happened to have a legit reason with whatever happened with his mother. He was just too good to sit on the bench for another couple of years.
