-Tua: i think he wants to win a heisman and go out on top. that being said, he’s risking an awful lot. Initially, I said no, but I think he’s coming back now.

-Harris: Gone. He knows this offense doesn’t revolve around the running game like it did during the Henry, Richardson, Ingram days.

-Jeudy: Gone. That look on his face during the award ceremony during Saban’s speech said it all. He’s a mid first rounder whether Saban says it or not. Another factor in his decision is...

-Ruggs: tough one. I’d say he was coming back before the injury, but now I think he’s gone.

-DeVonta: Returns. His stock can skyrocket with JJ and Ruggs leaving and he knows it.

-Leatherwood: Returns. Again, draft stock will likely rise if Tua can produce and stay healthy.



Defense:

-It doesn’t really matter outside of Dylan Moses, but Xavier is likely gone.

Did Ruggs get hurt?

I saw him down on one play, but was too busy watching us get killed by Minn to tune back in afterwards.

Yeah Xaviers gone. As bad as this defense was this year I like our depth next year because they’ve all got great experience. That said Shane Lee is an absolute liability in today’s game. He is built like LB should have been prior to 2012. He is a big physical slow kid. Anything outside of protecting A gap and he’s two steps behind.

It looked like he landed on the ball and he's had rib issues this year.

Yeah but don’t know what happened. I thought he just had air knocked out of him.

Man good players listed. Getting any of those guys back would be huge considering they would be playing with the now more experienced underclassmen

Saban must have arbitrarily picked the designation of “only one top 15 pick” knowing there are 3-4 guys in that 16-32 range.

Jeudy, Ruggs, McKinney, and Leatherwood are all slotted in that range. They should go based on Saban’s prior statements that guys with first round grades should go, but now conveniently it seems only guys with “top 15” grades should go.

They may hang onto 1-2 of these guys but most will go.

On defense (Dylan Moses) yes.

On offense, all of those players wouldn’t gain much if Mac Jones is throwing them the ball. Huge difference.

Apparently Ruggs hit his head and they put him in concussion protocol

Mac Jones has proven to me he can absolutely throw them the ball.
