If other players wanted to announce, they would’ve done it today. Branch probably wouldn’t have been a first rounder so another year doesn’t hurt.




Branch coming back would be nice.

I'm not holding my breathe though.

OP really questioning why these 3 would go pro? Would be shocking if they didn’t. Great players. Gave their all every game. Young has been amazing to watch. Best to all of them.

You believe Ricks is coming back? He was a sure fire first rounder if not top 15 pick, coming into the season. On one hand, he should probably return to get improve his draft stock, on the other, look how much transferring to Bama hurt him this season.

I'm not placing all of the blame on the transfer, but whether it was injury or discipline related, getting into Sabans doghouse cost him millions.

Hopefully Young and Anderson pull an Eli and avoid going to the shite Texans
Anderson should go there.

Think of all the opportunities the defense will have to put up individual stats

played with their teammates in the bowl game when most top five draft prospects would have sat out.


I'm glad that worked out for them and came out injury free, hopefully, this will start to reverse the opt out trend, but I doubt it.

We're making players millions of dollars.

They got that just to go to the crapstone.

Bryce Young, Will Anderson and Jahmyr Gibbs announced Monday that they will be forgoing their senior season and entering the NFL Draft.


Not terribly surprising for 3 players in the top 15 of draft prospects.

He's the #13 prospect in the draft per CBS; hard to imagine he can improve his draft stock much more than where he is now.

Will and Bryce are class acts. Will was already an NFL talent stuck in CFB. Glad we don't have to face them again. Best wishes and God bless.

Good. I didn’t think we would see a QB better than Tua for a while but Young was just on another level. Props to him

Thank you gentlemen for choosing to be a part of the greatest college football program of all time. Playing at Bama is a responsibility unlike any other program in the country and you chose that challenge. Thank you, Best of luck and Roll Tide forever.
