How many players will Bama lose this year...

You guys only lose by 28 next year instead of 38

Yep, we'll be lucky to maintain a roster of 49

Defensive lineman Christian Barmore, quarterback Mac Jones, defensive back Patrick Surtain II and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle have announced they are leaving.

I have seen LaBryan Ray, Christian Allen, and Phidarian Mathis have all announced they are coming back (all would have been drafted but would have been late round). Josh Jobe and Daniel Wright are also expected to return.

Chris Owens has also announced that he is taking his additional year of eligibility.

Defense
- Barmore (DL)
- Moses (LB)
- Surtain (CB)

Offense
- Jones (QB)
- Harris (RB)
- Smith (WR)
- Waddle (WR)
- Dickerson (OL)
- Leatherwood (OL)
- Brown (OL)

Forristal still hasn't been announced whether he'll take the extra year or not.

18 juniors are leaving, three already in the transfer portal, and seven anticipated opt outs.

Next year will be the asterisk year.

Looks like plenty of senior leadership coming home to roost again. I'm not surprised, "unfinished business" is pretty much a given every season in Tuscaloosa when you are chasing Nattie's.

The most over used phrase on here, but this is 100% spot on...for this occasion. Bama might be losing 10 assistants, 18-20 players, a host of high picks and won't be no excuses.

Quickly frankly LSU posters essentially put their team and sRant names on the clock. LSU will be very experienced next year should be motivated also if they fall flat. Might as well rename this Bama Rant it won't be no oxygen on here for them to breathe.
