Bama Players Transferring (catch all thread)

[smith5753]

At least we know they can’t hurt us at Ole Sis. They’ve proven they can’t turn the corner.

They did actually beat Georgia this year. That is somewhat turning the corner. For instance Tennessee and Texas couldn’t do it.

So what? They fall short year in and year out. Unless their ultimate goal is beating Georgia.

He’s the ONLY reason we got Ryan Williams back. This isn’t good.

It’s well documented Mbakwe was critical in bringing Ryan Williams back after he decommitted. This isn’t news.

I understand and know that he was a contributing factor, but you stated that he was the ONLY reason he came to Bama. I don't agree with that.

Picking nits…w/out him we lose RW. Only reason, no.

Exactly. Dude is being ultra pedantic.

 

[colbysullivan]

Alabama is bigger than these losers. Is your life seriously that affected by a KID that can’t see the forest for the trees??

Let the ones that want to leave, leave. It usually doesn’t end well for these guys in the end.

Alabama is still Alabama.

Alabama hasn’t been Alabama since 2020

I would hope that he is the only reason because if that is true, then I guess he is as good as gone since his reason for being here is gone.

I think it is also that CFB isn’t the same. It is bad for every school right now especially the “Blue Bloods”. Very frustrating

 

[bamaslammer]

Sounds like we are probably going to lose Jaylen Mbakwe smh.

How are we ever going to build a winning team when our young players action themselves off after one season.

Well, this doesn't just influence Alabama but chaos has been deliberately introduced. There are a lot of people that would prefer to destroy something good if they don't feel it is benefiting them.

The solution for this situation is obvious. The portal should only open once per year, and it should be a one time use, like a redshirt year. This system is insane, but they chose it on purpose...

If you were so inclined to study a similar situation, look no further to the NBA who allowed 18 year olds to be drafted for decades. Some players were left with nothing but great memories and bankruptcy and others built generational wealth for themselves and their families.

"Sudden Wealth Syndrome" is real. There have been a number of studies.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

No

Apparently it’s not considered tampering if schools are in contact with a “representative” of the player. Either way it’s very unethical and destructive to the sport.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

Why not just pay players off your playoff opponent to enter the portal?

Don’t give anyone any ideas...

Ummmm…what?

‘21 - 13-2 SEC Champions, NC Appearance

‘22 - 11-2

‘23 - 12-2 SEC Champions, Playoff Berth (4 teamer), kept UGA from a 3 peat.

No, it’s not an NC in those years, but only Bama fans would consider that “unsuccessful”.

I’ll give you 24….but a lot of factors played into that and the GOAT is no longer here.

 

[Jay Hughes]

Ummmm…what?

Big difference in is and isn’t. That changes everything. My bad

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

As suspected, Mbakwe has entered the portal.

Maybe....maybe not.....

Looks like I will have to go back to buying a program at the beginning of the season...

Going to suck covering that tat he just got.
