I think it's a dumb and shitty move to transfer mid-season. Otherwise, everyone knew it was coming in the spring. You have to think he's missing home, his family, and his surfer chick. Sounds like his dad might be a meddler too.

That said, he'll go somewhere else and light it up, despite what Boz and Y-mart, or ystar, or whatever his name is, says. All he needs is some experience. The kid is very talented. I hate to lose him.

If this is true, then he is making a decision for his future. Can't fault someone for that.

Losing depth is not ideal, but there are capable backups available this year (Bateman, Cornwell) that should serve well if called upon.

Not to mention, it's not his girlfriend, it's his fiancee in California. Little bit different, and I understand the desire of returning to his family. Marriage is a commitment that supercedes Alabama football.

I hope Blake gets an opportunity to showcase his abilities closer to home and his family. Wish him nothing but the best and appreciate all that he's done for Alabama football the past couple of years.
