The transfer thing is just all over the place. Was it always this bad? No patience at all with the kids now a days.
Not really a good example to wax curmudgeonly about -- Hurts is a true freshman, right? If he improves, that's a minimum of three years on the bench for Barnett. Guy deserves to go somewhere he'll have a decent shot at starting. From what I saw of him, his arm and aim are both good, though his footwork needs some work.
The SEC powers are littered with great players that are, unfortunately, stuck behind even greater players. It can be brutal and I'd never fault anyone for transferring in those circumstances. They took a shot at competing with the best -- what top-rated person in any field wouldn't? -- and learned their limits. More power to them.

It's a Darwinian game. Bama is loaded with talent and he didn't get what he wanted despite being the odds on favorite. I don't blame him for wanting to transfer but he should have finished at least the regular season.

I have no problem with him transferring, but what is he going to do the rest of this season? Seems sticking it out and getting practice reps, working out, and getting backup game reps made more sense than leaving 4 games into the season.
