Bama Players Transferring (catch all thread)

  • Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!

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?

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.


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

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.

Name the movie...

Anonymous but connected X accounts are the new premium message board
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.

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?
