Bama Players Transferring (catch all thread)

[BamaMoon]

Welp, now we can probably just blame losses on the transfer portal and NIL.

Man, I'm not sure to give that a laughing emoji OR a crying one!

Exactly....and that's why I didn't blue font it. I typed it with disgust.

If you enter the portal right now, are you also forgoing the bowl game or are they able to play? I get that the player probably does not want to but are they allowed to still play?

Nah, no one has killed a fat kid with a boulder yet. Plus they were British.

What did Brian Kelly do now?

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

Lol sounds like there is now a chance we keep Mbakwe. This new world of college football is ridiculous

How do we get news of these things so quickly? Is someone following around Mbakwe and recording his every thought?

Technically yes, they can play. As you point out though few, if any ever do.

What we used to call child predators, we now call recruiting analysts.

I hope so, kinda. He is a Williams level talent, but he needs to want to be there.

Me too. And he did seem to be a Bama guy. Idk we'll see.

Idk where the original leak about transferring came from. But the staff on on3 were saying he was likely to transfer

The idea he might stay is coming from guys like Ryan Williams and Keelon Russell. They have posted stuff on social media that makes it seem like he might be staying after all. We will see

The question is would you want them to?

As some have said, it's now being discussed we may keep him. Supposedly the main issue was not NIL but playing both ways. Ole Miss was going to give him a shot at playing both ways and apparently, now we are...we'll see how true all this is as the day unfolds. But what a day and in time in college football when the players can strong arm the coaches in what they're going to play or they leave without penalty.

"ONLY IN AMERICA!!!"

Name the movie...

While the rumors of Mbakwe hitting the portal had been floating on various sites (On3, 24/7, etc) Nick Kelly, the Alabama Beat Writer for AL.com was the first I saw yesterday “confirming” on X that Jaylen was entering the portal. My guess is that someone on staff told him it was about to happen.

My “other guess” is that someone got to Jaylen and convinced him to hit “pause” on the decision.

Payne, DL is in the portal.

Well, you've either got the actual Don King: only in america movie.....or my favorite, the line from Rocky V when Richard Gant playing George W Duke (Don King basically)

So Mbakwe is going to play both ways now....because of Travis Hunter?

I have been diagnosed with a debilitating disease called "Sudden Broke Syndrome" for almost 15 years now. Prayers are appreciated.

Have you thought about filing for Workers Comp.

Sure sounds like that disease is "work related." .
