We don't need to start cutting people just to take transfers. Don't cut the known to take a chance on the unknown. If we had schollys available then yea maybe take a flier. But we're at our cap. Let's roll.
Could this be your slot receiver that you wanted?
We really need a couple of defensive backs more honestly. But I wouldn't be against taking him if he wants to come.
He worked and played some as a DB at Bama too I believe. We're in need of a DB pretty bad depth-wise. Wouldn't hate it. Take him and see which side he works out better on. Either stick him in the slot or put him at CB. But aren't we at 83 now?
Yes, we'd have to cut someone to make room.Quote:

Yup. If a sure fire playmaker entered the portal for some reason, then maybe you have a difficult conversation with somebody. But you don't cut somebody because a guy that played in 5 games last year has come available.Quote:

Not sure I agree with that logic. If he had played in 5 games at UAB, then I would agree. I'm not sure we had anyone in our receiving group last year that would have gotten in a game, must less 5 games, at bama last year. If he's better, then we need to upgrade. I'll trust Leach to know if he's actually better.Quote:

But did he play 5 games at WR or play 5 games on ST. Heck Shavers played in 12 games last year, but only had 1 pass caught because he was only playing ST most of the time. You also have to look at where he played those 5 games.Quote:

So Bama has lost a 5 star QB and two 4 star WR to the portal and they don't even blink an eye. Must be nice.Quote:

We need to do whatever we have to do to get the most talent on our roster.Quote:

The glut of scholarships in football is the only reason that the elites like Bama and others can lose these high quality players that never get to see the field and never miss a beat.Quote:
