Course, anybody transferring from Bama is going to be extremely talented.
In the immediate period following Nick Saban's shock retirement and then the hiring of Kalen DeBoer "the program has been on watch with regard to retaining players". The message from the players was, "We're staying." They wanted to play for DeBoer.
It has been ten days since Saban's retirement and ten players have transferred, including, even by Alabama's standards, some who they would definitely have wanted to retain.
Bond, Isaiah Bond, sophomore wide receiver, co-hero of the Iron Bowl, gone to Texas.Amari Niblack, sophomore tight end, played all Tide games in 2023.
Caleb Downs, sophomore safety, led Alabama in tackles, to Ohio State.
Kadyn Proctor, sophomore, offensive tackle: Iowa.
Julian Sayin, freshman quarterback, the heir apparent, a five-star who just started classes at Bama.
Four sophomores and a freshman. That was the Alabama future! It's DeBoer's present.
