Link: 2026 Transfer Portal

I think Hill has shown some potential this year. I don't know about the rest yet. The biggest flaw I have seen is just not hitting the right hole, not seeing the hole, and not breaking enough tackles. YES we do have blocking issues, YES we need to hire consultants to help Grub alter the offense to get the run game going. But it's pretty rare for any running back to to see a gaping hole in an SEC defense. They have to see the crease, hit it with violence and they have to break some tackles consistently. All that just to get you to a 4 ypc average or better. It's a tough tough place to play.

I think everyone is focusing little too much on Ryan Williams and his NIL deals. It feels like we're counting his money and demanding he take pay cut. It's ridiculous. That's lot of attention on one guy and if we should complain, we should be complaining about OL room, the RBs, Domani Jackson, Sabbs, and etc.

Some of us forget that He has NIL Deals with the following companies:

New Era
Beats by Dre
Nike
Sally Hansen
Hollister
Uber Eats
Rising Tide youth Football
EA

Those deals are worth 1.6 Million. That's not including what Alabama is offering him as NIL deal, but I don't think it's a lot. The fact he got the NIL deals outside Alabama speaks a lot and I think we're okay with him.

Brooks will ink few NIL deals outside Alabama and he deserve it.

IMO, Courtney Morgan got this. He has an idea of who's leaving/staying/and managing NIL budget.

I believe we'll see few players from Alabama entering the portal, and some of them will be the one you guys will be upset with, but the potential talents coming in outweigh that. Ryan Williams will be fine. We're in good hands with our WR groups and I believe there will be some adjustments made in the offseason with how they run routes, catching the ball, and eye disciplines.

I've said this before and I will say this again: I believe the staff should focus on improving the OL, DL and RB the most. Depth for other positions.

No one has forgotten the oline, but most arent sure if the problem is with OL coaching or the players since its the entire unit that has struggled all year.

Domani Jackson is on my list of guys that either need to step up or step out. He, like RW, is a player that alot was expected but other guys around him have simply out performed him while hes looked atrocious a lot of times.

Totally agree.

Hit or miss, but more miss than hit. (Pun intended.)

When he does connect, he really brings it, but he gets beat way too often to suit me.

How do all these players enter the portal if the portal window isn't open? I understand the ones with coaching changes but how do Texas players get to enter the portal? Guess I'm missing one of the myriad of exceptions.

Seems that last year we tried to find some hidden gems but with mixed results. Horton has been good, Doud has been pretty good, Hill-Green has helped a lot, Dewberry has helped some. Others have provided depth. Probably only Horton was a real difference maker. Wish Dewberry had another year. We really like taking TEs from the portal.

I would think they have announced their intent to transfer once the portal opens. They are trying to get ahead of the curve.

How many of us are expecting Ryan Williams to transfer? Im about 50/50 on it. Part of me thinks DeBoer will ensure he stays but part of me believes he looks for a fresh start.

Obviously, hope he stays and returns to form. But sometimes leaving makes sense. We had that center with bad snaps, he went to OSU and both teams improved. In some circumstances a fresh start is what is required.

We have plenty of talent to be an effective offensive line.
